It’s no longer news: Roller coasters are filled with adrenaline that would make your stomach slosh, and many people have enjoyed them for centuries. But thrills are great only if they stay within the limit of joy and happiness like no other. Some rides, however, crossed way beyond that line and they had to be banned when tragedy struck. Some had to be closed down for good when bad vibes loomed in the air, and some had to call it quits due to old age. Welcome to the top ten _Banned_Roller_Coaster_You_Can't_Ride_Anymore!

Number 10: The Son of Beast in Ohio

Built in Cincinnati as the major attraction at Kings Island in Ohio, the “son of beast” was a wooden roller coaster erected to shatter world records like glass. At the time it was built, it ranked among the top ten roller coasters for track height, drop height, speed, and drop length, becoming the first wooden roller coaster to record such a feat. It was also the tallest, fastest, longest, and the only wooden hyper-roller coaster in the world to feature a vertical loop. With all these achievements plus lots more under its mesh, the son of beast soon became an icon all over the globe with visitors ranging from thrill-seekers to engineers and modern physicists alike. But everything was short-lived!

In July of 2006, a critical structural failure in the mesh occurred just when a train full of riders passed over it. More than 20 riders got admitted to a hospital for minor head and neck injuries. That plus a few other reports made the park owners conclude that the “son of beast” was full of bad vibes waiting to happen. So, it was shut down for good!
Number 9: The Derby Racer at Revere Beach

As we hop into Massachusetts, the most populous state in New England, let’s move a little deeper into one of its cities called Revere. There you will find a public beach once upon a time known as Revere Beach. Back in the early ‘90s, the amusement park decided to attach a roller coaster to its attractions and when they did, it was named the Derby racer. This roller coaster took after the popular figure 8 design that rocked the early 20th century. So thousands of people trooped in to get their fair share of adrenaline. At the time, it was worth about $140,000. But despite the recognition and capital pumped to make the derby racer a success, it had to be shut down and demolished due to poor follow-up and safety procedures. One time, a young man was flung from the roller coaster. Another incident involved 5 people, followed by another couple who got hospitalized for several weeks. By 1936, the derby racer was demolished along with historical fatalities that can never be forgotten.
Number 8: The Tsunami Ride in Scotland

Sometimes, bad vibes come from the name you give an object and you shouldn’t expect anything good out of something you name after...a tsunami! So don’t be too surprised about the story we’re going to tell of the only inverted roller coaster in Scotland. Owned by an amusement park named after its operators, Mathew and Douglas Taylor, the Tsunami was among 39 other attractions within the park. Another notable one was the Tornado and sometime in 2016, six riders were stranded on it after its safety systems suddenly activated in response to high winds. But before that hilarious event in 2011, the tsunami ride itself had 9 people hanging upside-down 60 feet above the ground when it suffered from a mechanical failure. Then again in 2016, five gondolas from the tsunami ride derailed and plunged at 40mph into a children’s ride 30 feet below it. We don’t want to state casualties but honestly, with all these breaches in customer’s safety in the park, we still don't know why the whole park is still standing. But justice was served hot with the tsunami ride; scrapped outrightly in 2017.
Number 7: The Star Jet in New Jersey

Just 6 years after it opened in 2002, the Star Jet became the ghost-host to a Bulgarian student worker struck by one of its coaster trains. The steel roller coaster was seated at the Casino Pier in New Jersey where kids and families enjoyed bumper cars, crazy cabs, Go-Karts, Musik Express, Kid Ways, and all sorts of rides. But the Star Jet was one of their loveliest, despite that it wasn’t the biggest. Built with just 3 trains with 3 cars meant for only 6 riders, the star jet was moderately tall, safe, and comfortable. So, how did it end up to claim a life? It was kind of the victim’s fault.
