	I've ridden half of this list, but I'm still furious with myself for not making the trek to Great Adventure to ride Kingda Ka.

	I don't know jack about coasters- I understand why people love them, but they scare the crap out of me- but as a proud New Jerseyan, I love that we've got the fastest and tallest coaster in the world.

	i remember riding phantom's revenge back when it was the Steel Phantom - you needed a damn helmet for that ride. i havent been back since they've remodeled it a few years ago :(

	@ Whole Lotta Sporcle: This list is specifically for fastest coasters in North America. I don't doubt that there are many coasters around the world that go faster than the ones on this list.

	I could have sworn the 6 Flags New England coaster was Superman Ride of Steel because it has been that for years but they just recently changed the name to bizarro

	:( The fastest roller coaster I've ever ridden is only 74 mph, the Wild Thing at Valleyfair! in Shakopee, MN. I have some catching up to do!

This list is AKA "Coasters I need to Ride." At the moment I've only ridden 3 of them (including one on my lunch break-- best lunch break ever). :)

	I'm disappointed that only one rollercoaster on this list is named after a snake. No python, no cobra, no viper.

	@Chris: the remodeled ride is great. It is smooth and yes, no helmet necessary. The drop where you go 85 MPH is great

	thanks, pbrown. i'm trying to swing back to pittsburgh soon, maybe i'll get to kennywood...

	bhammond16:	May 9th, 2009 at 17:12 GMT	7 points
	Ok, this could just me being picky but typing in The Beast shouldn't give you Son of Beast, they're two completely different coasters.

	madmonkey:	May 11th, 2009 at 18:12 GMT	-3 points
	I'm kinda a wimp at roller coasters, but at least I've ridden one of them, Millennium Force. My friend went on Top Thrill Dragster, shes insane. Google it, you might be surprised.

	Supercell_NL:	May 16th, 2009 at 23:50 GMT	4 points
	Whole Lotta Sporcle: Stealth does go 80, but Saw the Ride reaches about 50 and Dragon Khan gets to 65....plus the title of the quiz is Fastest Roller Coasters In North America.

	stubbs64:	Jul 4th, 2009 at 23:48 GMT	1 point
	surprised sporcle has already changed it to bizarro. i rode superman ride of steel many times but havnt been back since they changed it to bizarro

	kingda ka is the most terrifing thing i have ever done, i actually puked after it!!!

	adamnvillani:	Oct 24th, 2009 at 23:26 GMT	2 points
	The Cyclone at Astroland only gets up to 60 mph. There are a lot of other coasters around the country! I've only been on six of these, though. And yes, I rode Xcelerator on a lunch break, too!

	nice quiz. i love rollercoasters!

	swatkins44:	Feb 9th, 2010 at 21:35 GMT	-1 points
	i thought superman the great escape wasn't technically a roller coaster? could be wrong though.

	bobbywobbler:	Feb 10th, 2010 at 20:28 GMT	-3 points
	Stealth at Thorpe Park in the UK does 80 and should be on the list http://www.uk-theme-park-tickets.co.uk/top-10-fastest-roller-coasters-in-the-uk

	mirror_noir:	Feb 20th, 2010 at 01:34 GMT	1 point
	@chamber, @bobbywobbler - it's FASTEST COASTERS IN NORTH AMERICA. I believe the UK is in EUROPE. Anyways, fun quiz.

	Albany:	Feb 26th, 2010 at 18:26 GMT	6 points
	Could you consider accepting Superman: Ride of Steel (Bizarro's former name) as an alternate for Bizarro?

	mforcerulesall:	May 18th, 2010 at 16:16 GMT	2 points
	you might want to consider updating this now, there are several new rides that would make the list.

	only knew 4 roller coasters haha...only been on 2 but at least i went on the fastest...also isnt el toro in six flags great adventure faster than nitro?

	millenium force is spelled with only one n

	RzWelshy:	Sep 4th, 2010 at 16:33 GMT	1 point
	This is only American because Stealth in Thorpe Park, London reaches 92.

	adamnvillani:	Sep 11th, 2010 at 19:05 GMT	4 points
	Reiterating what bhammond16 said, you should not get "Son of Beast" when you type "Beast." They are two completely different rides. One is not a modified version of the other; Beast and Son of Beast coexist at the same park, but they're in different parts of the park.

	cparkes92:	Nov 4th, 2010 at 17:57 GMT	1 point
	I have only been on the two at Cedar Point, but I knew them all.

	PiiXiiE:	Nov 17th, 2010 at 20:32 GMT	1 point
	i've been on Top Thrill Dragster a few times. it's great and all, but i don't think it's really worth the 2 and a half hour wait. I prefer Maverick.

	cubiesfan05:	Mar 25th, 2011 at 16:21 GMT	1 point
	might wanna edit.....son of beast no longer is in operation

	davidafoss:	May 19th, 2011 at 16:59 GMT	1 point
	Submitted feedback for an update. Son of Beast is no longer operational and Intimidator 305 at Kings Dominion hits about 90 mph.

	jbl123211:	Aug 26th, 2011 at 00:37 GMT	1 point
	And I thought the Bizarro was fast, Kingda Ka sounds unreal!
