It's no secret that Europe is home to some of the most historic castles, interesting museums and bucolic countryside in the world. What may be more surprising, however, is the number of jaw-dropping roller coasters strewn across the lands. Not for the faint of heart, these coasters sprawl from seaside towns in England to the heart of Norway, and are among the tallest, fastest and most thrilling coasters in the entire world! And be thankful that roller coasters have come a long way since the legendary Cyclone opened at Crystal Beach, Ontario, in 1927 - nurses were kept on hand at the exit stations to greet and treat passengers departing the ride! So, strap on your safety belt and get ready for a wild ride.
