Question - I'm curious about what the highest roller coaster inversion is.

Of what I know, could it be on Volcano, The Blast Coaster's, which RCDB states a height of 155 feet at its highest point, which would be that roll out from the top of the volcano, correct?

Or is there any coaster inversion that's higher up than this? Like the Mr. Freeze coasters - how far up are those inside top hats? And if you want to count the inside raven turn on Eejanaika as a "true" inversion, how high up is that?

Are there any coaster inversions that surpass these?

Image Does this count as an inversion? if so it wins. I am a bit iffy on whether it qualifies or not though.
Boulder Dash was the only good roller coaster.

nice, umm i dont think so. inversion means a change of position that does not entail a change of location. plus i dont even know if the riders are in the fly position(i think they are)...i wouldn't count it...

From what I understand, it loos as-though Volcano has the tallest inversion (around 155 feet), Absimo the second, and Viper (SFMM) is third (about 144 ft).
