7 Superman: Escape from Krypton

Six Flags Magic Mountain, California, USA

Another relaunch and another worthy entrant to the list of the top 10 scariest rollercoasters in the world. Until 2011 Superman EFK was known as Superman: the Escape, but with the introduction of backwards-launching cars and a coat of paint, a new super-scary hero was born. Featuring speeds of up to 160 kilometres per hour and a height of 415 feet, Superman EFK ticks all the right ‘scary rollercoaster’ boxes.
