Maniac Engineers Build Steepest ‘Coaster Ever

July 13, 2011


We have a theory that every architect started out as a little kid drawing either (a) their dream house (usually airborne) or (b) their dream roller coaster. We know you’re a big-shot professional now, but we dare you not to get a little bit excited about the 102-degree, 43-meter inverse drop on this new Japanese roller coaster, currently the Steepest in the World.

More images after the jump.
