Great first drops under 200ft

One of the best sub-200ft drops must be on the 180ft Dive Machines.  Oblivion is even good for spectators, as you can walk right up to the steepest bit and look at it head-on (see One Click for example).

Definately Gemini...that coaster has got to have one of the world's greatest drops...

Kraken, Raptor, Ghostrider, and Viper @ SFMM.
heres another for canyon blaster, and you gotta love the batman TR drops, pure heaven.
and to add to my list, I'd like to nominate Vertical Velocity.  yeah, it isn't full circuit, but I don't remember that being a stip so there it is.  I love hanging from the back spike over the water with my arms and legs limp then feeling a light tap on my back as I hurtle towards the water only to swoop into a great foot chopper with that includes a piece of steel sticking out of the station.  now that's what I call a drop!

For a wooden coaster: the back seat of Gwazi. I float out of my seat the whole way down!

For a steel coaster: back seat of Deja Vu.  Very amazing and intense!

Back seat of Vortex at PKI.  Don't ask my why.  Insane floaty air.

Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like bananas.

The oddest thing in the world, but true.  I thought Raging Bull in the back had some awesome air too.  If only those damn brakes weren't there on the rest of the ride...

I would have to say Medusa at SFMW. Its a straight down, 150ft. drop with your feet dangling only inches above the track. What an amazing experience! Also, in the back seat, you get some great airtime along with the "losing your stomach" feeling which I personally LOVE on coasters. Roar's first drop is also pretty good, especially in the last 3 seats.

Top Gun at PGA is also good, but the only reason I am saying that is because it was my first coaster and I had never had that feeling of "losing your stomach" before, so that was the best time I ever had that feeling, so TG's is pretty good too.

Six Flags Marine World..... Theme Parks taken to a whole new level.

Deja Vu!!!
Georgia Cyclone at SFoG has a good first drop and its less than 100ft. 
Isn't anyone else going for the Thriller/Texas Tornado? I felt like I was being thrown straight at the ground!
