Oooh ... does this mean I get to revive my idea for the coaster that goes from Pittsburgh to Lousiana following the Ohio/Mississippi too? 2000 ft., 250 mph, and 90 inversions ... YEA baby!!
But yea, talk about beating a dead horse ...

The Tallest roller coaster in the world is already in the US of A... Superman The Escape. That's according to Guiness though.

Then we need to specify continuous circuit coaster, don't we?

Why do you have to have a license to own a dog, but not to have a child?
I think we have quite a ways to go before we see a 400ft. complete circuit coaster. We have already seen Superman tha Escape which is 400ft tall. I think it will be a good 7 to 8 years before we see one. It took them 10 years to go from Magnum to MF. I think we will gradually see coasters go taller than MF and Steel Dragon and eventually, we may get to 400ft. But there are some big problems with parks building them, they need space and money. And a lot of the parks that have space and money already have a tall hugh thrill machine. Not all of hte parks, but a lot...

Call me SpongeBobAlex.
We only have 2 giga coasters and you expect them to build 100 feet higher. Face it people, it's not going to happen next year. Or at least it can't be full circuit.
I wonder what they would call a 400 foot coaster?

MWB, you seem to have taken over the role of distributing the "award" whenever necessary - rock on! :)
