Which country has the biggest roller coaster?

Steel Dragon 2000- 307-Foot Drop At four minutes and with a length of 8133' feet, the coaster is the world's longest. Steel Dragon 2000 is located at Nagashima Spa Land, one of Japan's premier thrill ride destinations. The park boasts a total of 13 roller coasters.



As of early 2026, Saudi Arabia is the undisputed home of the "biggest" roller coaster in the world. The headline attraction at the newly opened Six Flags Qiddiya City near Riyadh is Falcon’s Flight. This record-shattering steel coaster holds the triple crown for being the tallest, fastest, and longest roller coaster on the planet. It reaches a staggering height of 163 meters (535 feet), hits top speeds of 250 km/h (155 mph), and features a track length that stretches for several miles across the desert landscape. This engineering marvel utilizes high-powered magnetic motor technology to launch riders over a massive cliffside. For thrill-seekers, Saudi Arabia has officially surpassed the United States and the UAE as the premier destination for world-record-breaking ride experiences, effectively "redefining" the limits of coaster physics in the 2026 theme park landscape.
