1. Aqua Drag Racer

Where: Wet ‘n Wild, Orlando

Speed: the fastest ride yet of its kind

Wet ‘n Wild’s latest attraction is due to open this summer and claims to be the fastest and tallest water ride of its kind to join Florida’s impressive line up yet. The Aqua Drag Racer will be a 6 story-high ride that promises to deliver avid speed freaks through its watery tunnels at fifteen feet per second.

2. Sheikra

Where: Busch Gardens, Tampa

Speed: 70mph

Busch Garden’s Sheikra is a hair-raising ride from start to finish. After a few twists and turns and a climb to 200 feet, the ride dangles you in anticipation of the plummet to come. A cheeky false start elevates the terror and then you’re dropped 200-feet leaving your stomach far behind before tackling more loops.

3. The Incredible Hulk

Where: Islands of Adventure, Universal Orlando

Speed: 67mph

The Incredible Hulk delivers full-throttle G-force and heart-stopping thrills at 60mph. You’ll experience its unique ‘Gamma Force Accelerator’, mighty inversions, corkscrews, stomach-curdling freefalls and total exhilaration. You may even look a little green when you disembark.

4. Kraken

Where: SeaWorld, Orlando

Speed: 65mph

SeaWorld’s Kraken certainly lives up to its name by delivering major thrills in giant proportions at 65mph. If you’re a fan of inversions then hop on, if not, be warned there are seven to contend with. The most terrifying are the cobra roll and dive loop.

5. Montu

Where: Busch Gardens, Tampa

Speed: 60mph

Montu is a deceptively smooth ride; however, there are plenty of thrills to please fans. Such as twisting down a 128 feet drop before heading into a vertical loop and reaching speeds of 60mph. In fact, this ride delivers dives and loops in abundance and you’ll experience weightlessness thanks to Montu’s zero-g roll.
