If you're afraid of heights, then it's probably best to look away now.
A simulation has showed off the full, terrifying height of a record-breaking rollercoaster.
I think it's best if you are sitting down for this:
There are already some pretty terrifying coasters out there which manage to reach dizzying heights, before plummeting down.

Whether you're a fan of Universal or Six Flags, there are some big ones out there alright.
As of 2023, the tallest rollercoaster in the world is located at Six Flags Great Adventure.
It's called Kingda Ka, and sends its riders up to a dizzying 456ft before they come rocketing back down again.
But if it's speed that you're looking for - not the drug the going very fast, then look no further than Formula Rossa at Ferrari World in Abu Dhabi.

This reaches speeds of 149.1mph as it rockets round the track.
Both the tallest and the fastest coasters were built by Intamin, who are among the global leaders when it comes to insane rides.
They have a whole load of big attractions to their name, including California Screamin', which is now called the Incredicoaster, as well as Top Thrill Dragster at Cedar Point.

But now the company has announced plans for a new coaster which will beat both the tallest and the fastest coasters, as well as also being the longest.
Well now you're just showing off.
The new coaster is currently in development and has been called Falcon’s Flight - which is set to make it's debut at Six Flags Qiddiya.
It will be some 600ft tall - more than 100ft taller than Kingda Ka - and will reach eye-watering top speeds of 156mph.

It will do all of this over an insane 4km of track, nearly a mile longer than Steel Dragon 2000, the current longest rollercoaster.
And if you wanted a sense of just how insane a rollercoaster of that size would look, there is now a simulation for your terrified perusal.
It certainly doesn't look for the faint-hearted.

Part of the ride involves being carried up on top of an immense cliff - but that's just to build up the momentum for the main section.
There is an enormous climb in the centre of the coaster, which is done at high speed after dropping from the cliff.
Riders will then plummet down in the climax of their 4km-long ride on the immense rollercoaster.
According to Qiddiya’s Chief Executive Officer, Philippe Gas, Falcon's Flight will 'dominate the skyline' all the way round the theme park, as well as 'up and down the cliffside'.
And for those willing to give it a shot, Six Flags Qiddiya is expected to open it's door in October 2024.
