Riding the world’s tallest roller coasters is an experience that no photograph or video can truly capture—you have to feel it for yourself. Standing at the base of these steel and wooden giants, you can hear the hum of the chains, the rattle of the tracks, and the nervous laughter of riders as they prepare to be launched hundreds of feet into the sky. I’ve been lucky enough to visit several of these record-breaking rides, and each one left me with a different mix of awe and adrenaline.
