Yes the pepsi max was the worlds tallest coaster in 1994 when it open which was also the so called 'Year Of The Coaster' Where Nemesis opened, europes first inverted 4 seat was opened, Shockwave europes first stand up and of course the Pepsi Max worlds tallest coaster.

Oblivion 120 you should also stop beleiving every rumour that you here is true, about 99% of all rumours arent true and are simply made up (Strata Coaster at Blackpool, Floorless coaster at Alton Towers etc)

235 is the height above sea level, which is a pretty meaningless way to measure coaster height. BPB just like to use that because it sounds better.
The actual height from the ground it stands on is 213 feet. The drop is only 205 feet.

hmm it also states that the log flume there is the longest in the world? which i somehow doubt but still it aint a bad ride, which also would suggest that they wouldnt remove it if its the worlds longest as they would like to retain that title

Yeh BPB love to lie in thier marketing. Its only a year or two ago that they stopped calling the PMBO the 'Worlds Tallest and Fastest Rollercoaster', even though it lost the record in 1996. Now they say its Europes tallest, which also isn't true.[lol]
