World's Scariest Roller Coasters: Kingda Ka

These are the things that make New Jersey scary: Camden, controlling suburban mothers in SUVs, and Kingda Ka. Nestled at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson Township, NJ, Kingda Ka is the tallest and fastest roller coaster in the world. And as if it isn't dangerous enough to go from 0 to 128 mph in 3.5 seconds, shooting 90 degrees straight into the air, there's always the chance that, oh yeah, the car will FAIL TO REACH THE TOP OF THE TOWER AND START GOING BACKWARDS. It's little wonder that the thing is closed just about as often as it's open, which is the equivalent of saying "Oh yeah, Kingda Ka is doing something that could kill you right now. Check back in a week and hopefully it won't."

Take a look at the video. We got a little scared just watching it. Kingda Ka is, after all, king.
