The Gravity Max is the world’s only tilting rollercoaster and is the first with a true 90-degree drop – but people are terrified to try it out.
Thrill-seekers, get ready for the ride of a lifetime on the “world’s scariest rollercoaster” next time you’re at a theme park.
However, be warned: this harrowing attraction isn’t for the squeamish as it offers a truly hair-raising experience. Brave enough to take on the challenge?
The Gravity Max boasts the unique accolade of being the world’s only tilting rollercoaster and features the very first complete 90-degree drop.
Racing at breakneck speeds of around 90km/h, it promises to whip your hair in every direction imaginable. This spine-chilling thrill is found at Lihpao Resort within Discovery World in Taiwan.

While it may not claim the title of the “world’s most dangerous rollercoaster”, the Gravity Max will unquestionably have you screaming in terror. It teases at the outset with an ominous caption: “Found the scariest rollercoaster ever.”
It then tantalises viewers with a call to “wait” and witness the impending thrill.
The ride eerily starts at the summit before pivoting terrifyingly to a 90-degree angle, where it releases its intrepid passengers after the remaining portion of the coaster secures into place. After an agonising wait, riders finally plunge down the track.
The Gravity Max, a steel creation from Dutch manufacturer Vekoma, stands proudly within Lihpao Land. When it originally opened back in 2002, the rides tracks were coloured yellow against blue supports, but in 2016 it underwent a dramatic facelift to sport a bold red and black palette.

Echoing the fear, another stated: “If someone puked from the top that would mean absolutely EVERYONE would get puked on at the way down.”
Another commenter expressed: “NOPE! That’s some Final Destination stuff right there.” Yet another added: “That’s just an accident waiting to happen.” A fifth questioned: “Is that even legal?”
