Zip your pockets, take your Dramamine, and check out some of the craziest new record-breaking screamers. We’ll be hiding behind the snack bar.

 

GOLIATH

It’s a wooden roller coaster, but steel layers in the track make possible the tallest, steepest drop (180 feet, 85 degrees) and fastest ride (72 mph) among its wooden brethren.

 

SKYSCREAMER

This vertiginous version of the swing ride will dangle riders’ legs 400 feet up, spinning them in a circle till they hit 40 mph. Be warned: Six Flags says “only the birds will hear you scream.”
