Falcon’s Flight —Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
Falcon’s Flight is not supposed to open until 2023, we will leave it unranked for now. The impressive ride is not only supposed to hit a top speed north of 155 mph (250+ km/h), but at 525 feet, it would also include the world’s biggest drop. And with an announced length of 4 kilometers (just shy of 2.5 miles and yielding a three-minute journey), it would obliterate the record for the world’s longest coaster. Regardless of the stats, this is one ride for the record books.
- Speed: 155 mph
- Height: 525 ft
