The weather's turning warm, and that means it's time to start daring your friends to take on that 93-mile-per-hour roller coaster ride or testing your stomach on a ride with a 415-foot drop.

We found the 15 best roller coasters in the United States, thanks to our friends at FindTheBest.

They ranked the coasters based on expert reviews, including those from Amusement Today industry magazine. FindTheBest also accounted for each ride's max height, speed, track length, and largest drop.

Cedar Point and Six Flags scored big for roller coaster reputations, but there are also some hidden gems in the ranking, like a wooden coaster in Santa Claus, Ind.
