Vertical Coasters?

To add to an existing thread, aren't heartline coasters the first vertical coasters? After all, they have a near vertical drop, although it is very short. What do you think?

I think they are 89.5 degrees, so that isn't vertical. Not even Oblivion is really vertical, because thats also 89.5 degrees, too. The only coasters I can think of that have true vertical drops are shuttles. ToT, S:TE, S:UE, and the 2 V2s.

Don't forget Hypersonic XLC which has an amazing drop of 90 degrees. By the way, Ultra Twister has a drop of 85 degrees.
