Steepest Roller Coaster Ever

Repost From: July 11, 2011

The steepest roller coaster ever built is called the "Takabisha" located at the Fuji-Q Highland amusement park (near Mount Fuji) in Fujiyoshida, Japan. This ride just became operational this past Wednesday, July 6, 2011.

"Takabisha" cost $35.5 million to build, the track is 2 miles long. It ends with climb up a 141 ft tall hump where riders plunge over a 121 degree angle at 62 mph in 112 seconds.
