hypercoaster
Towering thrill ride
A hypercoaster is a roller coaster that exceeds 200 feet in height, distinguished by its extreme drops, high speeds, and airtime—the sensation of weightlessness at the crest of hills.
The term emerged in the 1990s as theme parks competed to build taller, faster rides: The park's new hypercoaster hits 230 feet and 75 miles per hour.
