I live in Texas and two of the tallest roller coasters I've been on have been the Superman: Krypton Coaster (51 m/168 ft) at Fiesta Texas and the Titan (75m/245 ft) at Six Flags over Texas. The Titan. The current record is 75 meters, who can do better? And it can't be any of those tower rides; has to be a roller coaster. Also, what is your favorite roller coaster you have been on?

Superman Escape from Krypton at Six Flags Magic Mountain. 415 ft.

Edit: well not really a tower coaster it's is classified as a roller coaster but the tallest conventional one I've ridden is Goliath at the same place. 255ft 78m

I've been on over 100 roller coasters, and Superman Krypton Coaster is my favorite one.

the tallset coaster i've ever been on has got to be Millinium Force at Cedar Point.

amazing ride as well.

I've been on Superman : Escape from Krypton as well (before they painted and did the changes) but i dunno. never quite counted it as a roller coaster so much. it doesn't really go the full length of it's height. might as well be a tower ride really.

After next summer, It'll be 306 ft (93m) I can't wait for that :)

As of right now it's only 230 ft but still a fun ride.

How tall is Sheikra at Busch Gardens?

Found out, It's 60 meters. I've probably been on higher ones but I can't remember them at the moment.

If you love Coasters you must go to Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio. Voted best amusement park past 10 years in a row. 17 coasters. Top Thrill Dragster is 420ft with a max speed of 120mph. Millenium Force is 310ft and my all time favorite the Magnum at 200ft (was the worlds tallest). Also has 15 thrill rides, water park and shows to see. Amazing place.

Maverick is sweet. My cousin works there and set the world record for riding the Mean Streak or Gemini (forget) like 1300 times in one season. She rode it 30times in a row one day only getting off the change seats. Can't say I would enjoy that. Wooden coasters are a bit bumpy but Mean Streak is a good one.

That's awesome. I love wooden roller coasters and my favorite is The Beast at King's Island. I loved Son of Beast but sucks that they closed the ride down due to the ride not being safe. I hope Cedar Point build a wooden roller coaster for their next planned coaster.

I've been on 200 and 300 ft towers in six flags kentucky/georgia, but the highest coaster I went on was Riddler's Revenge in Six Flags KY. Chang and some others were good, too. It wasn't just the height, either. There were a bunch of loops and stuff. Now that I think about it, I haven't been to a theme park in a while. The last one I went to was Disney in FL and there aren't many roller coasters.

Though not technicallyrollercoasters, I've done both the Tower of Terror II and the Giant Drop at Dreamworld.

The Tower of Terror II is a steel-shutter coaster going to 115m, with 0-160k's in 7 seconds and a 100 metre drop

The Giant Drop (which runs off the same tower at the Tower of Terror II) is the largest giant drop ride in the world, at 119m and 135k's an hour

I've been on the Millenium Force at Cedar Point several times. I never botherd with the Top Thrill Dragster because I didn't feel like waiting in the line. I need to get back there before they close for the year.
