Thrill seekers, your next adventure awaits! Theme parks across the U.S. are unveiling a spectacular lineup of roller coasters in 2025, with some setting new records for speed, height, and innovation.
For coaster enthusiasts like Derek Perry, who has experienced more than 1,300 rides, this year’s lineup is among the most exciting yet. “There are so many new attractions I can’t wait to get on,” he says.
At Universal’s Epic Universe in Orlando, one of the most anticipated coasters of 2025 is Stardust Racers. This dueling coaster features intertwining tracks that allow riders to race against each other at speeds of up to 62 mph. “The design makes it feel as if you’re soaring through the sky like a comet,” says coaster enthusiast Martina Moore.
Meanwhile, Siren’s Curse at Cedar Point is set to be North America’s tallest, fastest, and longest tilt coaster. Riders will experience a gravity-defying moment as the track tilts forward, leaving them staring straight down before plunging into the ride’s high-speed twists and drops.
Other standout attractions include:
✔ Rapterra at Kings Dominion – A high-speed wing coaster that delivers exhilarating twists and near-miss elements.
✔ The Flash: Vertical Velocity at Six Flags Great Adventure – North America’s first super boomerang coaster, propelling riders both forward and backward at lightning speed.
Whether you crave high-speed launches, stomach-dropping dives, or head-to-head races, 2025 is shaping up to be a record-breaking year for roller coaster lovers. Are you ready to ride?
