If you’re a daredevil with a bucket list that includes riding all of the most terrifying rollercoasters on U.S. soil, read on, because we’ve got you covered!!

If you’re not a thrill-seeker, well, now you’ll know which theme parks to avoid!

Alright, let’s check out these 11 machines of mayhem!

11. Excalibur

This wooden rollercoaster lives at Funtown Splashtown USA in Saco, Maine, and is both the tallest and longest rollercoaster in New England.

It’s not the biggest one in the world, but it’s got great views.

10. Superman: Ride of Steel

Six Flags America in Upper Marlboro offers this “hypercoaster” that’s 205-feet tall and has a 200-foot drop.

9. Shivering Timbers

This huge wooden coaster, at Michigan’s Adventure in Muskegon, lifts you out of your seat along over a mild of track.

8. Wild Thing

The views are great from the top of Valleyfair’s Wild Thing, located in Shakopee.

It hits 74mph, making it one of the fastest in the country, and includes a figure-eight helix.

In Branson, Missouri, is Silver Dollar City – home to the second-fastest roller coaster in the world.

6. Canyon Blaster

I got to finish the night last evening at my 3rd indoor amusement park Adventuredome! Attached to the “Circus Circus” hotel sits a 5 acre glass enclosed dome containing 25 rides,2 of which being outstanding rollercoasters in “El Loco” and “Canyon Blaster”. I’m really hesitant to call this the best indoor amusement park I’ve visited but i will say it blows MOA out of the water. They have a surprisingly fantastic top 2,Canyon Blaster easily jumped into my Top 3 arrow loopers. With how compact the layout is and how quickly each element is taken it feels so intense and out of control. I found myself greying out EVERY time by the 2nd vertical loop and the lighting effects mixed with the enclosed rock work really make the ride. El loco was just as good as its sister coaster “Steel Hawg” at Indiana Beach. The first drop is LOADED with ejector and both the dive loop and barrel roll provide INCREDIBLE Hangtime. I wasn’t expecting much from this park but it blew me away! Have you visited Adventuredome? If not what’s one park you went into with low expectations that ended up blowing you away? #adventuredome #canyonblaster #elloco #arrowdynamics #sandssansei #mallofamerica #americandream #indianabeach #steelhawg #lasvegas #nevada #circuscircuslasvegas #circuscircushotel #coasterenthusiasts #coastersofinstagram #ridewithace

Las Vegas (of course) is home to this indoor coaster with double-loops and douple-corkscrews.

It careens through Adventuredome at the Circus Circus Hotel & Casino.

5. Untamed

Canobie Lake Park in Salem offers zero gravity rolls, banked turns, vertical drops, and loops on Untamed, and is worth the trip, for sure.

4. El Toro

Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson houses El Toro, voted the scariest and most fear-inducing coaster in the state among several awesome choices.

3. The Hurricane

Western Playland, in Sunland, added The Hurricane in 2015.

The ride is a steel windstorm-style coaster that doesn’t go really fast, but excels in g-force.

2. Cyclone

This iconic Coney Island ride isn’t the tallest or fastest, but it does feel like you’re going to die at any minute.

And how do you top that?
