The World's Scariest Roller Coasters: Colossos

We realized that we hadn't shown any love yet this week to wooden roller coasters, so we present yet another un-creatively named coaster: the Colossos at Heide Park in Germany. It's the tallest and fastest wooden roller coaster in Europe (second in the world behind the currently out-of-commission Son of Beast), and, well, it's made out of wood, the material that makes for notoriously rickety trips on roller coasters. Now, we should mention that Colossos is made out of pre-fabricated, treated wood, which means it's smoother than a traditional wooden roller coaster. But when you're going 74.6 mph (just under the recommended speed of the German autobahn), the experience is still pretty beastly.

Hey, Buddy: It's the World's Scariest Roller Coasters Map.
