The Kingda Ka located at Six Flags in New Jersey has been dubbed the world's tallest roller coaster towering at an amazing 456 feet (45 stories); it also has the biggest drop at 418 feet. It is the fastest coaster in North America. You better be ready for this coaster because it has a takeoff that goes from 0 to 128 mph in just 3.5 seconds!
