6. Prowler Wooden Coaster - Worlds of Fun, Kansas City
The two-and-a-half minute high speed chase begins with the ride’s only feature above the trees’ cover, a swooping 85 foot plummet into a ravine. After the spiral plunge, the train rips through a seemingly endless amount of high speed hills and sharply banked turns that hug the wooded land below. With a top speed of 51 MPH, riders grasped in the clutches of prowler carve a path with powerful but smooth changes of direction, speed, and elevation.

7. Pilgrims Plunge - Holiday World, Santa Claus, Indiana
Pilgrims Plunge starts with a classic shoot-the-chutes ride and adds a modern lift. An open-air elevator to take you higher than any other water ride in the world! After swiftly rising to the top of the 135-foot tower in an open-air elevator, each boat will pause briefly before descending rapidly down the flume at a 45-degree angle, creating a dramatic splashdown.

8. Sasquatch drop tower - Six Flags Great Escape, Lake George, New York
Sasquatch is a legendary drop ride with two 19-story steel towers. You'll be shot to the top in less than three seconds. But it doesn't end there. Once you reach the highest point, you'll be rocketed downward with a 2 G-force before experiencing a series of aircushioned bounces up and down the tower.
