World's tallest roller coaster offers pleasure-seekers highs and lows at record speed

The Pepsi Max Big One, the fastest and highest roller coaster in the world, towering over the streets of Blackpool. The pounds 12m ride, which opens this summer, is 235ft high and carries its passengers a mile in two minutes. It took two years to build and is the new star attraction at the resort's Pleasure Beach.
