A theme park in Canada is opening a dive rollercoaster that will be the world’s fastest, highest and longest ever.

The ride, named the “Yukon Striker”, will be unveiled next year by Wonderland, an amusement park in Ontario already featuring more than a dozen coasters.

According to a press release, the ride will reach speeds up to 81mph, a height of 245ft, with the track more than two-thirds of a mile long.

The park said Yukon Striker had stadium-style seating, with every car featuring three rows of seating, each placed above the other to give riders a view of the vertical drop. The cars are also floorless, leaving people’s legs to hang in mid-air during the experience.

Dive coasters feature one or more near-vertical drops which provide a moment of free-falling for passengers.

A spokesperson said a three-second pause at the top of the coaster would be “the longest three seconds of your life”.
