The 9 most extreme amusement parks in the world

Let's start with Europe. The Old World invented the first amusement parks and they are not particularly rich in "frightening" attractions, but below you will see that in this region there is a place to tickle your nerves.

1. Europa Park, Rust

Located in Germany, this amusement park may initially seem "childish", but that's only at first glance.

Wodan is a huge wooden roller coaster 40 meters high. Visitors are carried at a speed of 100 km/hour along the route, which crosses 2 other attractions of the park in 2 minutes and 30 seconds. The attraction will definitely not leave indifferent any fan of extreme sensations.

Silver Star is the last in the list, but probably the most extreme attraction in Europa Park. The height of 73 meters and the train speed of 130 km/hour guarantee a temporary overload of 4G and the sensation of flight to each rider.

There are 6 out of 10 so-called "black" attractions in Europe. We will tell you about only three of them, but you should visit all of them!

We advise you to ride this ride on an empty stomach. Dragon Can is located in the "China" part, but you can see it from the entrance to the PortAventura complex.
