Here's What Roller Coasters Are Coming To American Dream [Video]

Bergen County will have the steepest roller coaster in the world when the Nickelodeon Universe theme park and most of American Dream Meadowlands opens this spring.

The record-setting roller coaster, named the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Shellraiser will be the steepest coaster in the world, with a greater-than-90-degree incline.

Details about that and three other coasters that will be at the theme park on Day 1 were discussed at "EastCoaster" by representatives from Nickelodeon Universe hosted by American Coaster Enthusiasts, said Elizabeth Ringas, communications coordinator for ACE.

"They have such a nice variety of coasters to start with," Ringas said. "Everyone is going to have something to enjoy when it opens and that's fantastic."

Besides the Shellraiser, the three other roller coasters are: Another record-setting ride, The Shredder, Sandy's Blasting Bronco, and the family-friendly Nickelodeon Smile Streak.

TMNT Shellraiser

Riders will be launched forward and stop at the top of TMNT Shellraiser's 142-foot drop that will face New York City, giving riders a unique viewpoint of the Manhattan skyline. The steepest part of the incline is 120 degrees.
