The world’s wildest roller coasters are crouching in the theme park wilds, ready to uncoil and strike the visitors with an irresistible adrenaline rush, the only addiction without any noticeable side-effects (other than a crazed look).
Top Thrill Dragster is a steel, hydraulically-launched roller coaster located at Cedar Point Amusement Park in Sandusky, Ohio. It was the first “Strata Coaster,” loosely defined as a complete circuit coaster that is 400 to 499 feet tall.
When Top Thrill Dragster opened, it set several new records:
* First continuous-circuit roller coaster to top 400 feet
* First roller coaster to reach 120 mph
* Highest drop of any coaster
* Fastest roller coaster in the world
* Tallest roller Coaster in the world
Eejanaika, Japan - most inversions, perhaps loudest screams. This roller coaster not only whirls through the loops, but each cart additionally rotates 360 degrees, guaranteed to scramble even veteran coaster riders. Eejanaika is the fastest and longest, with the most inversions, 14 in total.

Researchers at the Medical University of Vienna found in their study that regular bouts of gentle weeding, digging and mowing can revitalise a man’s flagging sex drive. Just 30 minutes of gardening a week is enough to reduce the risk of impotence
by around 38 per cent, they found.
The same study showed other forms of moderate exercise, such as dancing and cycling, could have similar benefits. The researchers found that men who spend even more time in the vegetable patch can more than halve their risk of impotence.
“Erectile function can be maintained even by low, regular physical activity. Energy expenditure of as little as 1,000 calories a week reduces the risk. Doctors should use these findings to encourage their patients to do more physical training and adopt a healthier lifestyle,” the Telegraph quoted the authors, as saying.
In the study, the researchers found that gardening for 30 to 45 minutes, dancing for half an hour, cycling four miles in 15 minutes or jogging 1.5 miles reduced impotence by around 38 per cent.
Men who burned off up to 4,000 kilocalories a week saw their impotence risk drop almost 52 per cent.
