Where is the biggest roller coaster drop?

1. Kingda Ka - 127-Metre Drop
  • Location: Six Flags Great Adventure, New Jersey, USA.

  • Drop: 127 m (418 ft)
  • Speed: 206 km/h (128 mph)
  • Duration: 0:50.




In 2026, the record for the biggest roller coaster drop is held by Tormenta Rampaging Run at Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington. This groundbreaking "Giga Dive Coaster," which opened in early 2026, features a staggering 285-foot drop at a beyond-vertical angle of 95 degrees. While other coasters like Kingda Ka have taller total heights, Tormenta is unique because it holds riders at the precipice of its 309-foot peak before releasing them into the record-breaking dive. This ride officially surpassed the drop of Yukon Striker at Canada's Wonderland. It is the centerpiece of the park's new Spanish-themed "Rancho de la Tormenta" village, designed to simulate the intensity of the Running of the Bulls. The ride combines this massive drop with several inversions and a top speed of 87 mph, making it the premier destination for global thrill-seekers this year.
