Roller Coaster Records that will NEVER be Broken

[@JSXSProductions]

Also, what's funny is now that Ka is officially retired, and Formula Rossa was SBNO and now is having its launch track removed, Top Thrill is once again the tallest and fastest roller coaster... But it too is also SBNO after only like a week of operation.

@@JSXSProductions it’s crazy what’s happening to all of these record breaking coasters.

[@SwitchAnimationsGacha]

That means the current operating full circuit tallest coaster holder is Red Force at PortAventura

[@Coaster_Stories]

@SwitchAnimationsGacha I posted this video not long before the Kingda Ka shutdown announcement. I was hoping the rumors weren’t true. But I totally respect that Red Force is the tallest operating 🎢🙌. Blows my mind though how quickly the tallest coaster record changed.

[@JSXSProductions]

Do-Dodonpa and Kingda Ka were two of my bucket list coasters for their launches :(

[@Coaster_Stories]

Do-Dodonpa was at the top of my bucket list, I never got to ride it either😢 I did ride the prototype of it up at the S&S headquarters and the compressed air launch was something else.

Large coasters, including Falcons Flight, tend to have low capacity. For me that's a big issue. Operations in US parks is ridiculously bad so even the theoretical low capacity isn't reached. This needs changing. And could be a new record. In NL2, I tend to build nice B&M Hypers with >2500 PAX/h. While you're right, I don't think those records will ever be broken again, I could see length the most realistic one to be broken. Needs friction fix on steel coasters. Though I think that's possible.

Falcons flight will probably never operate and when it does probably 1 year. Like the coaster at nürnburgring

My opinion, the coaster that started the wars was MILLENNIAL FORCE. Im in Baltimore, this was Kings Dominion, Bushgardens and SixFlags country, We never heard if this “ Cedar Point “ these out westeners ppl spoke of. Lol Millennium force CHANGED THAT. Height oh my God speed holy shit…, it was all on our evening news when it opened. When they said the height on the news broadcast, this was my face😳… I said…”did she just say that roller coasters was 300 foot tall”

[@TCORV]

the height of that airtime hill will only be 5 feet shorter than the Seneca One tower in Buffalo New York which is the tallest building there at 529 feet

[@Coaster_Stories]

@@TCORV that is insane🤯

[@kirgan1000]

Yes I think the records will be broken, but with specialized roller coasters, like a smaller "drag racing" for speed, a long coaster in a teamed valley with moderate speed and elevation etc, a roller coaster that will take ALL records? No, or attest not until a to rich arab oil sheikh say, build me something grander then Falcons Flight, money are not a problem.

[@EsOne4200]

I still have reservations on whether SF Qiddiya will ever open. I guess only time will tell.

[@josephbantock801]

surely inversions is a main record but as usual the uk gets left out of the theme park discussion

[@christainmarks106]

Falcons flight could only exist where it is. It would never be built in the US. No state is going to sanction and Insure a 600ft high. Coaster that moves at Near Ferrari Top speed (160mph+) lol NOW the biggie. No Theme Park company on earth has PIF money. Having the world‘s largest public investment fund as your parent company is how falcon’s flight got built. Actually is how that entire Six Flags got built ,Cedar fair did not pay for that park.
