The Incredicoaster is both the only coaster at Disneyland® Resort that features a full inversion as well as the park’s fastest ride, reaching speeds of up to 55 mph. Its impressive 6,072-foot length makes it the longest inverting roller coaster in the world, and it should be at the top of the list for any serious thrill-seekers who visit the park.
