Japan to launch record breaking roller coaster

TOKYO: A Japanese theme park has made a roller coaster with the world’s steepest vertical drop.

The roller coaster launched on July 16 features seven major twists over its 1,000 meter length, a sharp rise to a peak of 43 meters. The height triggers a moment of weightlessness before riders take a nosedive.

The ride lasts less than two minutes, 121 seconds to be exact and cost over $ 30 million.
