This Burger King has a rollercoaster on its roof—Whoppers with a side of somersaults

[Garth Gator]

 

Craving a Whopper with a side of thrills? Then head to Niagara Falls, Canada, where a unique fast-food experience awaits. Nestled amongst the tourist attractions near the majestic falls sits a Burger King unlike any other. This particular location boasts a fully-functioning rollercoaster, the Frank’N Coaster, perched atop its roof.

 

The rollercoaster isn't part of the Burger King itself, but rather an extension of the neighboring House of Frankenstein, a popular haunted house attraction. The Frankenstein theme continues with the coaster, with its supports resembling giant guillotines and the track snaking around a massive Frankenstein head holding a burger – a quirky nod to the fast-food connection.

 

The Frank'N Coaster is a smaller, family-friendly design, reaching a height of 25 feet and offering a 700-foot ride. It's not the most stomach-churning coaster you'll encounter, but it provides a fun and unexpected twist on a traditional Burger King visit.  For coaster enthusiasts, it holds the distinction of being Canada's only rooftop coaster.

 

So, the next time you find yourself in Niagara Falls, and your burger craving coincides with a desire for a quick thrill, this Burger King with a rollercoaster might just be the perfect pit stop.
