15. Rewind Racers
14. Looping Star
13. Hurricane
12. Laff Track
Location: Hersheypark in Hershey, Pennsylvania.
Scariest Part: This will be the U.S.'s first indoor, spinning glow-coaster, and is set up to resemble a fun house. (And by "fun house," I mean crap-your-pants-this-is-freaky house.)
Nope Ranking: CRYING IN THE DARK WITH HEAVY SOBS OF NOPE.
11. Switchback
Location: ZDT'S Amusement Park in Seguin, Texas.
Scariest Part: This will be the only wooden shuttle coaster in the world. The cars go forward, and then do the entire thing in reverse. That's twice the horror. (Similar to Rewind Racers, but even more intense.)
Nope Ranking: NOTHING TO SEE HERE. NOPE NOPE NOPE.
10. Wicked Cyclone
Location: Six Flags New England in Agawam, Massachusetts.
Scariest Part: The world's first 200-degree stall with a 10-story drop. It'll be set up like Six Flags Magic Mountain's Twisted Colossus, except it has only one car running at a time.
Nope Ranking: I HEAR THE CRIES OF CHILDREN SCREAMING NOPE.
9. Impulse
8. Rougarou
Location: Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio.
Scariest Part: Passengers' feet will dangle freely as they plunge down a 137-foot drop. There will be four inversions and plenty of twists and turns. Nah, bro. Nahhhh.
Nope Ranking: IT'S A NOPE-A-PALOOZA.
6. El Diablo
Location: Six Flags Great Adventure & Safari in Jackson, New Jersey.
Scariest Part: It'll be similar to Six Flags America's Bourbon Street Fireball. Basically, you're gonna go upside down a hell of a lot, forward and backward.
Nope Ranking: ¡AY, CARAMBA, NOPE!
5. Cannibal
Location: Lagoon in Farmington, Utah.
Scariest Part: It'll be over 200 feet tall, and will go through an underground tunnel. Plus, there will be a fair amount of twists and turns all along the way. Just looking at it makes my stomach drop.
Nope Ranking: HERE'S A NOPE, THERE'S A NOPE, EVERYWHERE A NOPE NOPE.
4. Thunderbird
Location: Holiday World in Santa Claus, Indiana.
Scariest Part: This will be the the U.S.'s first launched wing coaster, meaning passengers won't wait for the cars to climb up a hill. The cars will catapult forward from the very beginning. Terror from 0–60 mph in 3.5 seconds.
Nope Ranking: TO THE NOPEEEEEEEEEEE, TO THE WALL.
Location: Six Flags Magic Mountain in Los Angeles.
Scariest Part: The ride will employ something called "top gun stall," which means cars slow down as they're going upside down. It'll cover nearly 5,000 feet of track, lasting a total of four minutes, making it the world's longest hybrid roller coaster. Oh, and two separate cars will run on side-by-side tracks simultaneously. That's not unnerving at all...
Nope Ranking: HELLLLLLLLLLL TO THE NOPE AND BACK. FOREVER.
Location: Six Flags Fiesta Texas in San Antonio.
Scariest Part: The individual cars will spin while you're doing beyond-90-degree drops. So it'll basically be a double whammy. The ride also claims to be the first 4D free-fly coaster, so do with that what you will.
Nope Ranking: GOTHAM NEEDED A HERO, AND HE SAID NOPE, NOPE, SHIT, NOPE.
