★ Steepest roller coaster drop in the world at opening (2001, 82°)
Expedition GeForce is a steel roller coaster at Holiday Park in Hassloch, Germany, open since 2001. The ride stands 131 feet tall, drops 206 feet and reaches 69 mph over 3,937 feet of track.
Built into a hillside, Expedition GeForce's first drop plunges past vertical at a then-unprecedented 82 degrees, a record that helped launch the modern era of ever-steeper drops.
Field note: the ride's steep drop briefly held the world record before being surpassed by later coasters.
