This hybrid roller coaster is iconic, perched on the edge of Six Flags Magic Mountain, as it brings riders through a 360-degree zero-g roll, a 116-foot drop at (gasp!) 80 degrees and many hills. The thrills are long-lasting, too. The 5,000-foot track makes the Twisted Colossus one of the longest hybrid coasters in existence.

Diamondback, a fast steel roller coaster in Ohio, creates the full atmosphere, complete with strobe lights, a 230-foot hill and speed topping out at 80 miles per hour. Add in a few crazy helixes, U-turns, camelback hills and a hammerhead turn. But what it’s best known for is being the first hypercoaster with a “spashdown.” As the finale, water splashes dozens of feet around the train in an elaborate special effect that surprisingly does not drench the passengers.
