Roller coasters are definitely not for the faint of heart, especially those that twist and turn way too much, have death-defying drops, and make you feel like you are about to fly into the sky and never come back.

There are those, however, who enjoy this kind of thrill and terror, and even make sure that they drop by an amusement park whenever they travel. Well, this list you are about to read is for those people.

We are about to rundown five of the best roller coasters that every adrenaline junkie should visit Europe for. Let's get started!

Hyperion (Energylandia, Poland)

Around 252 feet (77 meters) high, Energylandia's Hyperion features an 85-degree drop, double s-curves, water effects, and speeds of over 86 miles per hour (140 kilometers per hour). The website of Energylandia even points out that it also has a 262-foot (80 meter) drop.

Should you plan on riding Hyperion, you can also expect maximum speed in the tunnel as well as when turning and diving down, and of course, multiple turns that will add to the overall thrill of the ride.

Nemesis (Alton Towers, United Kingdom)

Ever wondered how 3.5 G-force feels like? You can experience the answer to that question yourself by riding the Nemesis ride in Alton Towers, which is located in the United Kingdom.

According to Tiqets, Nemesis holds the title of being Europe's very first inverted roller coaster. "Instead of climbing upwards, Nemesis begins its course by winding around a ground-level pit before plunging down into its depths, skewering the corpse of an alien," Tiqets adds.

The Oath of Kärnan (Hansa-Park, Germany)

If a super fast roller coaster with a reverse free fall is not challenging and thrilling enough for you, maybe a tower of terror of sorts will add to the effect.

One of the first things you will notice when you see the ride is its 259-feet (79-meter) tall tower. According to the website of Hansa Park, where the roller coaster is located, The Oath of Kärnan also features a 219-feet (67-meter) first drop.

Red Force (Ferrari Land, Spain)

Is going from zero to 111 miles per hour (180 kilometers per hour) in just five seconds is your idea of fun? Then hop into a plane, head to Ferrari Land in Spain, and try the Red Force roller coaster.

Red Force reaches a maximum height of around 367 feet (112 meters). According to Tiqets, "Don't expect banked turns, helixes, inversions, or speed hills – Red Force comes in at just under 40 seconds and is pure speed, from start to finish."

What you can expect, however, are two twisting 90-degree turns that will make you hold on for dear life.

It should be noted that Ferrari Land is part of PortAventura, where you can also find the next roller coaster on this list.

Shambhala (PortAventura Park, Spain)

If you have ever dreamt of zooming through the Himalayas at unbelievable speeds, well, the roller coaster called Shambhala located in PortAventura Park in Spain is right up your alley.

"This roller coaster has the longest drop and is the tallest in PortAventura Park, forming part of the group of hypercoasters which are characterized by their size and height," the official website of PortAventura Park states.

The ride feature five camelbacks, a term used by the park's website to refer to the hump-shaped hills located along the track. Tiqets also notes that it has a 255-feet (28-meter) drop and a splash zone.

Taron (Phantasialand, Germany)

When Taron first opened to the public in 2016, it was the fastest multi-launch roller coaster in the world. While it may no longer hold that distinction, to say that this roller coaster is still worth riding is pretty much the understatement of the millenium.

If you do not find winding tracks to be at all intimidating, this is definitely one ride you will enjoy. What also adds to the experience is the location of the ride within Phantasialand. It is located in the Klugheim area, which is inspired by Old Norse cultures.
