The world’s highest roller coaster, featuring a stomach-churning drop of 250 ft, has just opened to the public in Canada.

The Yukon Striker is certainly not the place to be if you’re afraid of heights, as its sheer drop will awake primal fears in many of us.

Riders are left hanging for a full three seconds before plunging down the drop, for extra kicks. The train then reaches speeds of 80mph as it hurtles, weaves, and twists along the track.

You can ride on the Striker at Toronto’s Wonderland theme park from May 3.

Check out the park’s website for more details.
