The tallest suspended coaster (non looping) is Haya Busa. It's located at Tokyo Summerland, Japan. It's 137 feet tall. I don't know what the tallest minetrain coaster is. Currently, the world's tallest inverted coaster is Alpengeist since neither the Déjà Vu's nor Odyssey have opened yet (each of the Déjà Vu's are 196 feet tall and Odyssey is supposed to be 265 feet tall). Alpengeist is 195 feet tall. X-Flight and Batwing are both the tallest flying coasters. They're 115 feet tall. The tallest stand-up coaster is The Riddler's Revenge. It's 165 feet tall. Hope all the info helped.....

if gemini is a minetrain, then it's the tallest. But the tallest acual mine train is ThuNderaTion at Silver Dollar City. It's 80ft tall.

I think Colorado Adventure in Phantasialand, Germany is slightly taller than Thunderation, according to rcdb.com.

However, since mine train is defined by it's theming, I think the current tallest mine train may be Indiana Jones: Temple du Peril in Disneyland Paris. Can someone provide the height of the coaster?

By the way, Shaft of Terror in Gold Reef City (Giovanola Tilt) can be classified as a mine train too, but again I don't know about the height.
