According to this Son of Beast is 218 ft high yet it has a loop.


Deja Vu has a couple also and isn't that 196 ft high?\


Six flags needs to update their records
Goodbye 11/9!

It could be that Son of Beast is a wooden looping roller coaster. I don't think that Deja Vu is 196 feet high.

You can see over the top of DeJaVu from Raging Bull's lift hill, which is around 200 feet, so I would go with the 178 foot tall guess.

Coasterdude12 you misread it. It says Viper FEATURES the tallest vertical loop. Not the tallest looping ride.

Not thats a big deal but when all of the Deja Vu's opened, the SFoG and MM sites said 196 and Gam said 178.

also for what it's worth Manhattan Express is 201 feet high and has a vertical loop, and Mr. Freeze (though it doesnt go up this high) is 227 feet tall and has an inversion.


(I know it says tallest vertical loop, but I felt like typing for some reason) :)

Also for the record I think that is a bogus record, I doubt anyone cares about tallest vertical loops, especially when the loop is about the same size as all other arrow loops on earth.
