The biggest, the tallest, the most extreme — the planet's record-breakers, all in one place.
This is where our record-breaker round-ups live — the global superlatives that don't belong to any one state. Browse the biggest, tallest and most extreme attractions on Earth, ranked and mapped, from the world's largest swimming pools to its tallest roller coasters. Pick a list below to see how the record-holders stack up.
It's our home for global 'biggest and best' round-ups — the record-breaking attractions that span countries rather than sitting in a single US state. Each list ranks the record-holders and, where we have coordinates, maps them so you can see where in the world they are.
What is the tallest roller coaster in the world?
Rankings shift as new coasters open, so our list is the place to check the current order. Browse our tallest-roller-coasters round-up for the latest ranking, each entry with its height and where to ride it.
Where are the biggest swimming pools in the world?
They're scattered across several continents — from resort lagoons to record-setting municipal pools. Our biggest-swimming-pools list ranks them by size and tells you where each one is.
