From heights towering over 450 feet to drops over 400 feet and speeds nearing 130 miles per hour, America is packed with insanely fun—and just plain insane—roller coasters. And we've searched the country far and wide to find the cream of the crop.

Sadly, not every state has a coaster to call its own. For those states, we've selected a local thrill ride that's just as breathtaking as the rest of the bunch. So sit back, strap in, and let the wooden or steel track take you on the ride of your life.
