SheiKra

( Flickr user: Erik Schlange )

What makes SheiKra so spectacular? It's got a 90-degree drop — 20 stories, straight down — at 70 mph, then a second, shorter one through an underground tunnel. Called a dive coaster, it was the first of its kind in the nation when it opened in 2005. Two years later, Busch Gardens removed the floor from the trains — and the feet-on-the-ground sense of stability. It has only one inversion: an Immelmann loop, a simultaneous loop and roll.
