Riding the Kingda Ka in the front row

This has to be the nuttiest roller coaster I’ve ever seen. Utilizing a catapult similar to the type used on an aircraft carrier, it propels the train to 128 mph in 3.5 seconds, climbing to a height of 456 feet with a drop of 418 feet. The track is so tall that it occasionally does not make it to the top and rolls backwards to the start to try again. Here is a good look at the amazing acceleration of the coaster.
