As Halloween approaches, adrenaline junkies are questing for terror.

Some find their thrills in horror flicks or haunted mazes, yet there are those whose taste for danger is only quenched by tackling the most hair-raising theme park rides.

Recently, a ride billed as the grabbed headlines with its life-or-death lever option as it's only build for "death row".

Now over on , user @upinthespace posted about the three "most dangerous" theme park attractions. So would you be brave enough to ride any of them?

They highlighted Japan's spine-chilling Eejanaika, Ohio's Top Thrill Dragster - now known as Top Thrill 2 and marked "temporarily closed" - and Six Flags Great Adventure's Kingda Ka in the US.

The TikTok user proclaimed on Eejanaika: "It takes the concept of spinning coasters to a perilous extreme with its unique 4D design, allowing to independently flip and rotate with a heart-stopping 250ft drop and a relentless series of spins and inversions.

"Making it a dizzying and unpredictable journey even for the most seasoned thrill seekers."

Discussing the next ride, they added: "Reaching a height of 420 feet and propelling riders at a mind-bending speed of 120 miles per hour in a mere four seconds, Top Thrill Dragster is renowned for its sheer velocity.

"The coaster's abruptly 90 degree ascent and subsequent 90-degree descent amplify the sensation of weightlessness."

But finally, the last rollercoaster which was mentioned is certainly not for the faint-hearted as it climbs a staggering height of 456ft.

It was revealed: "Kingda Ka holds the title of the world's tallest and fastest rollercoaster. Accelerating from 0 to 128mph in just 3.5 seconds.

"This adrenaline packed ride subjects thrill-seekers to intense G forces, making it a formidable and potentially stomach-churning experience."

Since the video was shared, it scooped 22,300 likes and hundreds of comments. One joked: "Kingda Ka is light work."

While another added: "Top Thrill Dragster, love that ride." Others claimed they felt "faint" after seeing the clip.
