Fujiyama - king of coasters at Fuji-Q highlands in Japan is the scariest I have ever been on. At the time I rode it, it was the 2nd tallest in the world (255 ft) and had the biggest drop (233 Ft). This was about 10 years ago, I am sure there are taller now. It had these evil cross bars that were placed in a way that you thought they would hit you in the forehead. (Especially being a 6'2" Amercan on a ride made for 4"11" Japanese people)
I've never heard about those two, but the tallest and fastest is in my "home" theme park, 456 ft tall with a drop of 418 ft and it goes from 0-128 mph in like three seconds, pretty awesome. I doubt that any park will want to invest in a bigger one for a long time, seeing as how this one has a lot of down time
