What park has broken tallsest coaster mark the mos

Actually Viper isn't the tallest looping coaster. With Son of Beast, you could say it was the tallest steel looping coaster, but....

Manhattan Express is 200 ft. tall which is more than Viper's 188ft. hill and is also a looping coaster. The only record Viper could hold is the longest drop on a sitdown, steel looping coaster, which is too technical for its own good. Just call it a world class ride and we can all be happy.

Speaking of records, Speed: The Ride is the tallest and fastest launched looping coaster in the world. It is 224ft tall and reaches speeds of 70mph. It also has several firsts such as first Premier Ride with two launches, first to use new type of Premier restraints, first with a vertical loop, and first Premier launched ride on the west coast.
Viper does still have the highest vertical loop at 140ft.

Batman Knight Flight's loop is taller than that, and PKD's Volcano has the highest inversion in the world at 155ft.

I think SFMM holds the record...

1. Revolution - steel (or at least looper)
2. Collossus - woodie
3. Shockwave - standup
4. Viper - looping
5. Riddler - standup
6. Superman - coaster
7. Goliath - full-circuit

The Steel Phantom WAS the tallest and fastest looping coaster. But my guess would be CP, however, that's just a guess, so don't quote me. ;)

Viper's 144 FT high first vertical loop is the tallest vertical loop in the world. Batman Knight Flight's is approximately around 125-130 FT. And the same is with SFFT's Superman Krypton Coaster.

No. Steel Phantom stood no more than 160 FT off the ground in height. I think you meant the tallest drop when it opened. The drop was the 225 FT record breaker. It actually TIED Desperado for that record.
No, Steel Phantom broke the record for longest drop (shattered, really, by topping Magnum by a little over 30 feet) back in '91. Desperado came three years later.

Yes, the Cedar Point Switchback Railway was the tallest coaster when it was built. In 1898 i believe.
I think it was CP. Don't hold me to it.
