SCARIEST Attractions In The World
the world's filled with awesome attractions that really get your heart racing but as exhilarating as they can be some push the limits of fun way too far whether it's stomach churning swing sets thousands of feet over a freaking Canyon extreme thrill rides built on top of buildings or even plank walks carved into literal Mountain sides get your helmets and harnesses on cuz we're taking a ride on some of the scariest attractions in the world [Music] hair raising Hotel the very top of the Strat Hotel in Las Vegas doesn't have a penthouse suite but it does have Insanity A Thrill Ride designed to make even the most daring Adrenaline Junkies a little squeamish Riders are seated under a large mechanical claw that veers over the edge of the hotel so how high is the fall just 900 ft that means if anyone was unlucky enough to fall from this ride it' take nearly 8 seconds until they reach the ground fortunately Riders here are secured by lap bar restraints and wait just lap bars not even an extra seat belt okay I feel unsafe and I'm just sitting in my office right now after passengers are secured the claw dangles its victims over the edge of the hotel before tilting them 70° downwards all while spinning them round at a ferocious 40 mph we're getting fire oh my God is that thing going to hold us holy CRA that really is insane but apparently having just one terrifying Thrill Ride wasn't enough for the Strat because just below insanity and a height of 866 ft is xcream the nail biting attraction consists of a 68t straight piece of track which carries a single open top car okay that doesn't sound scary at all however when the ride starts the track pivots like a seesaw causing the car to roll forwards at 30 mph along the track 30 ft past the edge of the hotel before suddenly breaking oh man jeez it then tilts rolling the car back before tilting again and launching the car forwards man I feel sick what if those brakes fail well powerful magnets and the beams repel against magnets in the car meaning the car comes to a stop every time and is 100% reliable even if all electrical power is lost still I think I'm going to stay in my office thank you very much got to go fast let's stay closer to the ground now and head over to Ferrari World in Abu Dhabi this theme park features a whole host of motor related roller coasters like the fiorano GT Challenge and Mission Ferrari which both launch their Riders around courses at high speeds all designed to be as exhilarating as driving a Ferrari but the Jewel and Ferrari world's Crown is the formula Rosa roller coaster which emulates the Formula 1 experience formula Ros is fitted with a hydraulic launch system a similar concept to those that catapult fighter jets off the aircraft carriers the power this generates is enough to launch Riders around the 1.3 M long course in just 92 seconds when it comes to top speed the formula Rosa roller coaster hits an electrifying 149 mph making it the fastest roller coaster in the world and to hold 20 mph faster than the coaster in second place this R even Zips about 11 mph quicker than the average speed of Formula 1 cars in fact this roller coaster is so rapid Riders have to wear safety glasses to protect their eyes from insects or sand which can cause blindness at these speeds the track also features a series of sharp turns and sudden drops capable of generating a gravitational force or gForce of 4.8 making it the joint eighth highest GeForce experienced on any roller coaster in the world if you didn't know 1G is the force it takes to keep your feet stuck on the ground experiencing 4.8g produces the feeling of being pushed down by 4.8 times your body weight so basically people pay money to whiz around at 149 mph all while feeling like they're getting crushed by 4.8
times their own body weight we humans are really weird aren't we daunting drop tower prior to the creation of the formula Rosa King the ca founded Six Flags New Jersey was the world's fastest coaster ride blocking up an impressive speed of a 128 mph that coupled with the fact that this thing stretches to a neck breaking 456 fet tall makes it one of the world's most thrilling rides but things got even more exhilarating in 2014 when the Zumanjaro Drop of Doom was built inside the king daa roller coaster this soaring for 115 ft drop tower is both the tallest and fastest in the world it starts by hauling three separate Gonda up 415 ft well over 100 ft taller than the Statue of Liberty considering that Zumanjaro is integrated into King dad there's even a chance the rapid roller coaster ride will whiz right past passengers suspended at the top of the tower after taking in the view and perhaps dodging the king DEA roller coaster Zumanjaro gone buas drop back down at a gnarly 90 mph with the ride stopping just in time to prevent passengers becoming pancakes wow man oh that was incredible that was great wow yes in all it takes less than 10 seconds for Zumanjaro to plunge down over 400 ft yikes I'm getting a headrush just thinking about it if you're getting second thoughts about ever visiting an amusement park again don't worry I know somewhere you can get all the Thrills and entertainment you need and that's right here just hit those like And subscribe buttons down below that way you'll be the first to know when I've drop the next gondle Sorry video all done great what's next lofty Lodge I think I need to lie down for a bit and what better place to do that than this comfy looking bed looks relaxing right except this isn't any old bed it's actually suspended some 1200 ft in the air that's 100 ft taller than the Eiffel Tower but don't worry this mattress isn't just hanging from the Cliff face it's actually found inside the Sky Lodge Adventure Suite A Unique hanging Hotel made up of three transparent pods secured to the Peruvian Andes mountain side any eager explorers who want amazing views while while being literally bolted into the Rock as they lay in bed can either climb up the mountain and cross a rope Bridge or zipline their way to this lofty Lodge inside the 24t long and 8T High pods feature a bedroom dining area and private bathroom with an Eco toilet and sink on top of that guests are also prepared a gourmet meal with wine amazing is having a meal with those views would be the thought of being tipsy in a glass pod 1200 ft in the air is enough to make me head straight for that Eco toilet still a one night stay at this petrifying pod will set you back over $400 man I don't know who will find this attraction scarier you or your wallet water Wicked ride on the other side of South America nearly 2,000 Mi east of the spine chilling Sky Lodge Adventure Suites is the Ala Das Aquas Park Resort in Rio De Janeiro Brazil and this water park has one attraction that St hands Above the Rest literally say hello to that kilan jar of water slide Thrill Seekers must track up 234 steps to arrive at the top of the ride sounds exhausting but that's the easy part topping out at just under 164 ft kilamanjaro water slide is the tallest water slide in the world in fact it's so high that it even eclipses the nearby Christ the Redeemer by over 40 ft but elevation alone isn't what makes this slide so scary for the first 3 seconds riders only experience a gradual slope then suddenly the slope drops down to 60° resulting in Riders picking up a pace of 57 mph considering Riders aren't secured to a cart that's a scary speed and if you're still thinking of taking the slide down killamanjaro this is how high it looks at the top yep that's a strong no for me well me and lots of others it's said that onethird of riders Journey up before chickening out quick let's slide onto the next attraction before I get even more scared disappearing dive Brazil isn't the only place where you'll find a wicked watery attraction across the globe in Yokohama Japan there's another water-based ride that'll test the nerve of even the most extreme adventurers at first vanish roller coaster at Cosmo World amusement park may seem like a pretty Reg regular ride it's got loops and drops like any other that is until the ride gets 90 seconds in when the coaster suddenly dive bombs straight into the water below after dropping Riders down a steep slope the ride just disappears into a watery vtex at least that's what it looks like in reality passengers Dart through a dark underwater tunnel lit by LED lights before reappearing back above the water surface just a few seconds later it may not have the most daring drops or the most soaring speeds but any ride that makes passengers look like they're being slammed face first into a watery grave gets my vat as a super scary attraction Kaiju ride you Japan clearly has a thing for hair raising attractions because less than 300 miles west of Yokohama at the nearby oaji Island exists a ride that will have film Buffs crawling behind their couch this is the home of nigan no Morty a theme park dedicated to none other than Godzilla visitors to the parks Museum and Studio can get a closer look into the world of Godzilla from the big screen but the main attraction at nigin no Mori has to be the Godzilla interception operation aaji the world's first life-size Godzilla that's not all though this man-made Godzilla is also part of a ride Park visitors can jump on a 531 ft long zipline that dangles them 49 ft above the ground that's like traveling the length of three Olympic siiz swimming pools all while being close to the height of a five-story building yet the scariest part of this attraction is where the passengers end up as the zipline races towards its climax zip liners finish their journey by zooming straight through Godzilla's mouth luckily you don't end up in his stomach you just come out the other side still I'm not sure ziplining into a realistic looking mega mouth with that many teeth is something I could stomach Crazy Croc cage Godzilla interception operation aaji isn't the only attraction to feature a prehistoric looking Predator crocosaurus cove's cage of death and Darwin Australia is every bit as nail-biting as it sounds essentially this attraction puts human bait sorry I mean visitors face to face with one of the world's most feared animals crocodiles the start participants enter in an acrylic tube about 1 1/2 in thick and 10 ft high at first they're dangled above the water while the Crocs Feast right before their eyes soon after the tube is lowered into the water for 15 minutes bringing anyone inside face to face with one of the world's scariest sides especially so since the critters here are saltwater crocodiles if you didn't know saltwater crocs are the largest reptiles on the planet reaching lengths of more than 23 ft and weighing in at over 22 200 lb on top of that their extremely powerful jaws bite with a force of 3700 lb of pressure per square in the strongest bite in the animal kingdom and more than double the force it takes to break a human femur that's the strongest bone in the human body sounds like just the Critter you want to go eyeball to eyeball with in the water devilish dive Canada's Wonderland amusement park thankfully doesn't have any crocodiles but it's Main Attraction can still leave Daredevils crying for their mommies soaring some 223 ft in the air the Yukon Striker a steel dive coaster is the tallest of its kind in the world in case you didn't know dive coasters are a type of roller coaster that feature plenty of steep vertical drops these rides also hold passengers at the top of the drop for a few seconds just to make the weight before the fall even more agonizing and the Yukon Striker is the most agon izing of all dive coasters the ride starts by veering passengers over the edge of a 90° drop before racing down at speeds of 80 mph making this the fastest dive coaster in the [Music] world oh god I think I'm going to throw up if that wasn't enough Yukon Striker with a length of 3,625 ft is also the world's longest dive coaster this bad boy even features a complete 360° Loop something never before seen on one of these rides right so it's the tallest longest and fastest dive coaster in the world plus it's got a 360° Loop yeah I get why it's called the Yukon Striker now it's striking fear into my heart Eerie elevator halfway across the world wooling Yan in China isn't revered for any blood curdling coasters instead this place is known for its Scenic Beauty as more than 3,000 Sandstone pillars Tower over the forest landscape here but built into the side of a cliff is wait for it an elevator yeah you heard that right the bong elevator as it's known takes passengers up a vomit inducing 1,070 ft in the air that makes this the world's tallest outdoor elevator if going up to such Heights in an elevator wasn't scary enough this attraction is also fitted with glass windows letting you see exactly how far your fall to the ground will be if you're still not feeling queasy then let me tell you this lift is also purported to be one of the world's fastest passenger elevators soaring up to close to 12 mph while an elevator embedded into a cliff face sounds dangerous enough as it is the Thrills ain't over yet wuling yuan is also known as an earthquake hotspot not ideal when you're of feet up in a glass elevator thankfully the lift cars are all fitted with earthquake detectors to allow for a speedy evacuation in case of a quake earthquake detectors are not the byong elevator attraction still sounds scary on so many levels spine chilling steps considering that the Great Wall of China is one of the world's most popular destinations attracting more than 10 million tours per year you'd presume it'd be pretty leisurely to visit and for the most part it is but that can't be said for the g& co portion of the Great Wall however this 12 mile section found 45 Mi north of Beijing is known for being the most dangerous one part in particular known as the Heavenly ladder is comprised of 70 steep Stone steps that were built into a 260 ft tall Cliff being such a rural section of the Great Wall there aren't any safety procedures or guides to ensure people complete the clim unharmed as a a result it's not uncommon for tourists to injure themselves by Falling onto the cliff side not so Heavenly now is it just over 400 Mi south of that agonizing Ascent is yet another crazy Chinese attraction veering over the edge of a cliff on Fuji mountain is this sketchy staircase with no guard rails and a narrowing staircase anyone with vertigo should rule this attraction as a noggo that being said this white Stairway to Heaven isn't quite as perilous as at first Jes while it's not known how far a drop down the edges another angle shows the staircase doesn't actually Veer over the cliff on top of that there's also a soft cushion Landing for anybody that falls off the things we do for a photo op but China has something of an obsession with strange steps as this bizarre 300t spiral staircase found in the taihong mountains in China's henon Province proves built in an effort to boost tourism this towering structure offers adventur the thrill of climbing Great Heights without the ever impending threat of falling over the edge despite that this attraction isn't for the faint-hearted The Climb is so strenuous over 60s aren't allowed on the staircase phew at least that rules me out I mean what scary attraction have we got next walk the plank you thought China was done there with its super scary attractions no way in the isolated Shan mountains in the an province of Eastern China is the Mount Hua hiking trail believed to be the most dangerous of its kind in the world to reach the highest Summit on the mountain South Peak explorers must Traverse through narrow Pathways and up vertical Sky ladders but what Mount HOA hiking trail is really Infamous for is the plank walk I mean just one look at this thing and I know it's not safe for starters the wood slats are rammed together by nails while the plank itself is only 12 in wide tourists have to carefully cross this 330 ft long plank walk with the threat of dropping down over 7,000 ft luckily they're secured by metal railings and a harness but nevertheless even a slim chance of falling down a distance close to three times the height of the Burge Khalifa the tallest building in the world is enough to keep me up at night horrifyingly it's rumored that around a 100 people perish attempting the mount HOA plank walk every every year comparatively every year around four people perish on roller coasters I always knew exercise was bad for you terrifying theme park wait you thought that was the last time China featured in this video think again created in 2002 orish theme park in Chongqing Central China is home to the largest concentration of Skyhigh attractions in the world usually getting pushed on a swing is one of life Simple Pleasures but not here tourists are strapped to their swing seat before being pulled back 90° and pushed out some 1,000 ft over the valley the parks Gap Bridge which is essentially a glorified horizontal ladder tasks participants with jumping between each ledge which look to be a couple of feet apart oh and this is all while they're 500 ft above the ground can you imagine falling through one of those gaps fortunately for participants they're secured by by a harness but even still you've got to agree that's an attraction straight from the pits of hell as for the bed at the orishan theme park You' think it'd give visitors some much needed time to recover from all the harrowingly high activities but no this bed which holds two people is held up by several cable lines that suspended 1,000 ft in the air even though passengers are harnessed to the suspension line having a nap in this bed would be enough to give you nightmares for Life assuming you lived long enough to leave leave or de theme park soaring swing Glen Wood Canyon in western Colorado us is known for its rugged scenery and 1300 ft deep Canyon not exactly what I would call the safest place for a theme park but the creators of Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park disagree it features daring rides like the Defiance roller coaster and Alpine Coaster which is more of a tobogan but the real reason Adrenaline Junkies flock here is to try another ride giant canyon swing may sound innocuous at first but one look at this thing will tell you all you need to know this menacing mechanism uses a pressure powerered swing to propel participants back and forth dangling over the edge of a, 1300 ft drop if that wasn't terrifying enough it swings at a top speed of 50 mph and takes Riders to a near vertical swinging Arc oh my goodness still think you're tough enough to take this swing on have a look at how scary it is in first [Applause] person W that's a long way down I wonder how the people riding it [Music] feel with the look on his face and very very high pitch screams I think we can all safely say that guys traumatized for Life brutal Bridges glass Bridges have become a big tourist hit in recent years so much so that throughout China there are currently a staggering 2300 glass Bridges but as cool as they look in pictures it's a whole other thing actually walking over one take East High hang glass walk found in the mountains of the high Bay province of Eastern China this Crossing is positioned a stomach churning 715 ft above the valley floor that's a scary look down even more so when that glass walkway starts cracking under you that's exactly what happened to some poort tours back in 2017 luckily for them though this is just a cruel prank the cracking glass was actually a special effect activated by infrared sensors when someone was walking across the glass panel triggering the cracking visuals the prank was so scary the admin rtion of East Tai hang issued an apology for any distress cause saying the effect was designed to be provocative yeah provoking a heart attack just over 500 mil south of this brutal Bridge you'll find another glass Chinese crossing the jenj J Glass bridge this glass bottom bridge is the world's longest and highest stretching 1,411 ft across and 984 ft above the Zang j g Grand Canyon fortunately there's no cracking sound sound effects on this walkway unfortunately the glass here has actually cracked if crossing over a glass walkway nearly 1500 ft in the air wasn't worrisome enough some tourists were invited to smash some of the glass panels with a sledgehammer yeah you heard that right after a dozen blows the first layer of glass splintered but the lower two layers remained in perfect condition apparently that test wasn't vigorous enough so they decided to roll a 2-ton Volvo SUV carrying 11 pie people over the cracked panels yet the bridge didn't Buckle these crazy tests are all to convince people of just how strong Jang J J Glass Bridges well to me this attraction is just one Bridge Too Far Wicked wave machines wave pools are effectively swimming pools in which there are artificially generated large waves they're incredibly popular and can be used by Surfers looking to practice or swimmers looking to feel realistic ocean waves W without the Beachside hassle however one wave pool found at the Summerland water park in Tokyo regularly attracts tens of thousands of people looking to cool off during The Heat Of Summer the result a pool so packed it's hard to find the water but for many this isn't a problem as the surges of water do the moving for them meaning they don't need to swim to cool off still that looks so dangerous not to mention unhygienic and claustrophobic but cramped conditions were the last thing on the minds of bathers in the pool of China Yun water park back in 2019 it was supposed to be a fun day out at the wave pool for the hundreds there but people began to grow concerned when they were getting splashed by heavier and heavier waves then the wave pool produced an enormous tidal wave launching swarms of swimmers into the air the whopping wave injured 44 people with five of those hurt ending up in hospital for injuries including fractured ribs ouch while rumors spread on social media that the wol oper Ator was drunk officials at the water park attributed the blame to a power cut on the Machinery whatever the cause that's enough reason for me to wave goodbye to these attractions for good and breathe that rounds up the world's scariest attractions have you ridden or experienced any of these for yourself let me know about it in the comments below and thanks for watching [Music]
