The loop on Superman: KC?

My record came from Duane at SFFT. He and I were talking while on the cliff-side photo tour at Fiesta Fest. He confirmed the loop was around 135ft. tall. The loop does appear to be 130-140ft when standing on the quarry wall (about 100ft.). It's not THAT much higher than the cliff edge.

Bkf briefly took the record of tallesat loop and it still does. Also BKF is the worlds longest floorlest coaster.

How does it take the record briefly and still does? That doesn't make sense. Viper at Six Flags Magic Mountain still claims record to the world's tallest vertical loop at 144 FT.

Hey, Were talking about the biggest. Not tallest. And BKF's loop is around 145ft. The drop is 165feet. So Who knows which is taller but BKF has the biggest loop.

They don't, but I'll try to write them a letter......

SFWoA told me that it is 135 1/2 ft tall making it the world's "biggest" loop. VIper's is just a small loop really high up. I wonder why SF doesn't advertise this

Ugh, must we all fight over the stupid height of a loop...

Actually if you read the original post, the author of this thread asked for the TALLEST. The Batman Knight Flight lift isn't even 165 FT, let alone the drop be 165 FT. The maximum height is 161 FT, the statistic you are looking for. As for the loop, I believe 135 FT is correct.

Superman Krypton Coaster is 174ft. 10in. above the ground. The main drop is 168ft and 10in above the ground. The loop from ground to rail is 146ft 6in, but from ground to the top of loop is 149ft 8in. This comes straight from the head of ride maintenance and the head of ride operations.

Sounds good to me :)

Let's have a hand for Brandon! Hopefully this puts the loop debate to rest.

That sounds good to me since I'll be visiting SFFT over the weekend and on Monday as well. I'm looking foward to riding Superman:KC!
