5 American roller coasters that will make you wet your pants
1. Superman Krypton. Six Flags Fiesta Texas: San Antonio, Texas
One of the original floorless roller coasters, Superman is pure kryptonite for your bladder. Spinning around its awe-inspiring 146-foot vertical loop, you’ll hit speeds of up to 70 mph while screaming like Lois Lane all the way home. Now find a phone booth, Mr. Kent, you need a change.
Wet your pants Rating: 3.5 / 5
2. Apollo Coaster. Busch Gardens: Williamsburg, VA
Named 5 Best Roller Coaster by Golden Ticket in 2009, Apollo takes you on a pants-wetting ride in the sun and back in just over two minutes. It’s 210 feet, 65 degree drop, speeds you up to a god like 73 mph, pulling 4.1 Gs on the road. Dare we say, hold on tight?

3. The Bull. Sixflags Great Adventure: Jackson, NJ
Above! Above! Sixflag’s “El Toro” is a bull, even the bravest matadors fear. If she rips you out of your seat the negative Gs don’t work, you can bet her heart pounding with a 76-degree drop will send you running home to Mom, before you can say “diaper.”
Wet your pants Rating: 4.5 / 5
4. Kingda Ka. Six Flags Great Adventure: Jackson, NJ
Kingda Ka is about one thing and one thing only, mind bending sheer speed. Hold on for life, as its hydraulic launch system catapults you to 128 mph in just 3.5 seconds. Flying down the track, you’ll climb to a roller coaster record height of 418 feet, before heading home, just 28 seconds after you left. Next stop, the dry cleaner.
Wet your pants Rating: 5/5
5. Griffin. Busch Gardens Williamsburg: Williamsburg, VA
Simply put, Griffin is a roller coaster experience like no other. Not only will you buckle up on the world’s only 10-seat wide car, you’ll also experience a bladder-busting 90-degree drop from 205 feet. That is the highest pure vertical drop in the world. We just hope you brought a clean set of clothes.
