Does anyone know what the smallest loop in the world is? I think it is this one:
Klondike Gold Mine (Drayton Manor Park)
Sorry it's not letting me directly put it on here, but it's like 31' tall.
EDIT: Then again, I guess we would need to have a debate over smallest/shortest/skinniest loops to get the true answer...

^ Yeah, that is the smallest loop, mostly because the coaster is homemade in this mans backyard. That was the first homemade coaster i ever saw:D

Its a loop screw and it's homemade so it doesn't really count.

You ready to ride the Fist O' Pain?

That Klondike Gold Mine loop looks like it could be pretty painful.

Is it smooth and long?
Posted 02 March 2010 - 09:07 PM
^What does that matter? Standard boomerangs and Schwarzkopf shuttle loops aren't full circuit, yet nobody says they're not a coaster because of that.

The first loops from over 100 years ago had a diameter of less than 8 feet. That would be extremely painful, especially if you were more than 7 feet tall.
