He has been covering theme parks, amusement parks, water parks, and attractions for TripSavvy since 2002. TripSavvy's editorial guidelines Updated on 12/02/21 TripSavvy / Arthur Levine Do you want to know which theme parks and amusement parks across the globe have the most number of roller coasters? You've come to the right place. We have compiled a rundown of the 12 parks that boast the biggest arsenals of thrill machines. Note that many of the parks are tied. Most of the parks on the list are located in North America. And of the 12 parks, eight of them are in the United States. We're crazy over coasters in the U.S. 01 of 12 Six Flags Magic Mountain - 20 Roller Coasters Six Flags The number one park for the most number of roller coasters—at an astounding 20—is (sound of timpani roll) Six Flags Magic Mountain (sound of cymbal crash). It started with a cute theme about gnomes who lived in a Magic Mountain, but the California theme park evolved into a big, bad, scream-filled, coaster haven. Its arsenal features Superman: The Escape, a launched shuttle coaster that reaches 100 mph, Tatsu a well-regarded flying coaster, and X2, the world's first 4th-dimension coaster (and among the scariest coasters out there). In 2015, Six Flags Magic Mountain gave a radical makeover to its classic Colossus and unleashed the hybrid Twisted Colossus, our pick for the ride that leads the list of U.S coasters you have to ride. In 2022, the park will introduced its 20th scream machine, the single-rail Wonder Woman Flight of Courage. Six Flags Magic Mountain is located in Valencia, California.

Other notable coasters at the park include the launched Formula, the water coaster, Speed, and the wooden-steel hybrid, Zadra. Energylandia is located in Zator, Poland.

Among its huge collection of thrill machines are Behemoth, an enormous hypercoaster, Leviathan, an even bigger Giga-coaster (and one of the world’s best coasters), and Wonder Mountain's Guardian, which is more of a shoot-em-up dark ride than a coaster. In 2019, the park introduced Yukon Striker, a dive coaster. Canada's Wonderland is located in Maple, Ontario, just outside Toronto.

The Ohio park eventually blinked (although 16 roller coasters is nothing to sneeze at). But it continues to build new rides (such as GateKeeper in 2013 and Valravn in 2016) and improve older ones (such as Rougarou in 2015 and the phenomenal Steel Vengeance in 2018). Among its other wonderful coasters are Maverick, Magnum XL-200, Millennium Force, and Top Thrill Dragster. Cedar Point is located in Sandusky, Ohio.

Highlights include Goliath, which earned the distinction of being the world's fastest, tallest, and steepest wooden coaster when it debuted in 2014 (and is the ride that ranks among our top-10 best). Other notable rides include X-Flight, a wild "wing" coaster, the impulse coaster, Vertical Velocity, and the delightful wooden kiddie coaster, Little Dipper. In 2019, the park opened the launched ride, Maxx Force. Six Flags Great America is located in Gurnee, Illinois (near Chicago).

It's no longer open, but the park does have 15 coasters to try. One of them, Hochschaubahn, opened in 1950 and still has an onboard brakeman that controls the ride’s speed.
