Check out the world's tallest rollercoaster!

[Flûmplê]

Rollercoaster fans in Ohio in the US are for a huge treat when the world's tallest rollercoaster opens.
The Top Thrill Dragster is around 128 metres high, and thrillseekers will speed from standing still to 120 miles per hour in just four seconds!

That makes it the fastest ride too, but that sort of height and speed doesn't come cheap, with the rollercoaster costing £15.6m to build.

Riders will get into carriages that look like dragster cars, which is where the name of the ride comes from.

The ride is over in just 17 seconds, as the carriages shoot all the way to the top, twist around a bit, and then come back down - very quickly indeed!

The ride is in Cedar Point park, a place where they're used to having the biggest ride in the world.


Four times Cedar Point has had the tallest ride, building a new one each time someone goes higher than them.

The Top Thrill Dragster has taken the tallest ride record from The Steel Dragon in Japan, which is a piddling 95m high.

Though it will cost 50 quid a go!
