The world record of ‘fastest roller coaster’ has been achieved by Formula Rossa from Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE).

It is located at Ferrari World in Abu Dhabi. It is manufactured by Intamin. Formula Rossa is the world’s fastest roller coaster with a top speed of 240 km/h (150 mph). The coaster train accelerates to its top speed in approximately 5 seconds using a hydraulic launch system which generates a release velocity similar to that of steam catapults on an aircraft carrier.
