Tallest, fastest coaster on Earth.

Yeah the UK is so far behind the US its unreal. That said Air and Oblvion were unique at one point, not any more though
Kingda Ka is so fast you will actually have trouble screaming, it's almost impossible with the G's on you  How nuts is that! They can't go much higher or faster than that or people will actually black out.

I love my Rollercoasters but Kingda Ka is just mental. I'd seriously have to think long and hard about going on that! I'm shit scared of heights too, whish usually adds to the excitement/fear for me

Looking at the pics of that Kingda Ka ride, it looks like it pulls negative-G at the top......if you're going that fast, no wonder people come close to redding-out (blacking out for positive-G when all the blood is pushed down out of your head, redding-out for negative-G as all the blood rushes to your head). Pretty sure the human body is designed to suffer positive-G a lot more than it can negative-G...
