Is the Euthanasia coaster the world's deadliest ride? Discover the controversial roller coaster sparking debate on TikTok

Designed by Lithuanian artist Julijonas Urbonas in 2010, the Euthanasia Coaster has been dubbed the "world's most dangerous roller coaster." This rollercoaster was created to give passengers a terminal experience, but it also has a deadly and exhilarating aspect that might cost their life. The idea involves a 500-meter-high, steep lift that gives passengers only a split second to think before boarding the deadly ride, as per the reports of The Mirror.

TikTok buzz and public reaction

The Euthanasia Coaster gained attention recently when a TikTok user, @jakebsweetfacts, discussed it during National Rollercoaster Day. With a following of 9,800 people, the TikToker explained how the rollercoaster is engineered to hold up to 24 passengers, who are given the choice to continue the ride or turn back before the descent. The video highlighted that the coaster reaches speeds of 300 mph as it plunges down the hill, passing through seven loops that gradually decrease in size.

How the deadly ride works

The ride's architecture guarantees that riders will feel intense gravitational pulls, up to 10 Gs for a continuous 60 seconds. Blood rushes to the riders' feet as a result of this powerful force, depriving the brain of enough blood supply. Passengers gradually lose their vision, black out, and pass away as a result. After a brief 3 minutes and 20 seconds of riding, the rollercoaster returns to the station on a straight track, where the bodies of the departed passengers are taken out and fresh riders are seated.

First displayed as the centerpiece exhibit of the 2011 HUMAN+ exhibition at Dublin's Science Gallery, the Euthanasia Coaster concept debuted there. The concept has drawn interest from a wide audience despite being gloomy; the TikTok video has received 115,000 likes and hundreds of comments. While some viewers were curious to ride it, others conjectured that the ride might be intended for people who are on death row. A few spectators questioned the ride's authenticity and whether an idea like this could ever exist.
