Kingda Ka is the tallest rollercoaster in the world, with a height of 328 meters. Hence, four trains that are green, dark blue, teal, and orange in colour operate the trip. Although, each train carries 18 people. The rear car has one row of seats, while the other four have two rows. The rear row is higher than the front row, so riders have better views of the track and other riders.

Certainly, there is a block brake system on the ride to prevent collisions. Hence, only one train may enter each of the distinct block portions into which the trains are divided.

Moreover, steel and wooden roller coasters have long been the two main categories in the industry. Although, wooden coasters are usually rough and do not offer racecar-style speeds. Steel coasters, on the other hand, are renown for their twists and incredible speed.
