Gravity Max is located at Taiwan’s Lihpao Land Discovery World. The roller coaster is one of the park’s main attractions because it goes up a 114-foot lift and stops at the top for a brief moment. The track then suddenly breaks off and riders are flipped down a 34-story vertical drop. It happens to be the only tilting roller coaster and is also the first ride in the world to have a 90-degree drop.
