Now another park can build something even faster to reclaim the title, then someone else, etc, etc… someone eventually dies!

The new ad will be, “Uur ride subjects you to enough g force that you actually black out!” 😃

Sorry but Top Thrill Dragster has been slapped down as the biggest by Kingda Ka at Six Flags in Jersey this past year…

[Kingda Ka](http://www.sixflags.com/parks/greatadventure/Rides/KingdaKa.html)

Kingda Ka breaks all world records for roller coaster speed and height, becoming the tallest and fastest roller coaster on Earth. This  
jaw-dropping thrill ride launches riders from 0 to 128 mph in  
3.5 seconds before catapulting them 456 feet (45 stories) into the sky!
