The steepest roller coaster in the United States is Cannibal, located at Lagoon amusement park in Farmington, Utah.
Unprecedented Drop Angle
Cannibal is renowned for its remarkable drop, which plummets riders at an astonishing 116 degrees. This extreme angle is particularly notable as it extends 26 degrees beyond a completely vertical (90-degree) drop, creating an intensely over-vertical descent that delivers an unparalleled thrill.
Thrilling Ride Experience
The ride experience on Cannibal begins uniquely with an elevator lift system that ascends inside a towering, darkened 208-foot-tall silo. Following this ascent, riders are launched into the record-breaking drop, reaching speeds of up to 70 mph as they dive into an underground tunnel, cementing its status as one of the most thrilling and steepest coasters in the nation.
