Go And Find One Of These Right Now!

f'real.

We believe in the power of the milkshake; that inside each cup is enough pure, freshly-blended happiness to make the entire world smile. And simply put, that’s our mission: to help make the world a better place—one giant slurp at a time.

Is it far-fetched to think a frozen beverage can do so much? Not really. Think about it. Milkshakes make people smile. And when people smile they are happier. And when people are happier the people around them are happier. And, suddenly, spontaneously, irreversibly, a tidal wave of chilled joy rushes around the globe. We call this the Milkshake Revolution, a groundswell of swell, and we proudly lead the charge, f’real flag raised high.

Didn't have it.

Dead.

I asked for big... and I got it!

A 25 foot tree on a 7 foot burm makes an impression.

The No. 1 coaster in the world is in the good ol' US of A, and it's one hell of a white-knuckle ride. Not only is it the world's tallest roller coaster at 456 feet, it also has the biggest drop at 418 feet, and goes from 0 to 128 mph in just 3.5 seconds. We don't want to overstate things here, but the line to this ride smells like fear. They're selling last rites for $4.99. Alright, maybe we made that last one up, but point is, there is no better roller coaster in the world than Kingda Ka.
Theme Park: Six Flags Great Adventure
Location: Jackson, New Jersey
Height: 456 Ft
Top Speed: 128 mph
