This rollercoaster is quite compact in size but the ride is exciting enough. Four inversions and a 97° drop is quite impressing.

Typhoon
Typhoon is a steel roller coaster at the Bobbejaanland amusement park in Lichtaart, Belgium. Typhoon is a Gerstlauer Euro-Fighter model roller coaster, and the second installation of this model line. At 97 degrees, the coaster's first drop is steeper-than-vertical and it has the steepest drop of any roller coaster in Belgium.
Constructed by the German roller coaster manufacturer Gerstlauer, Typhoon opened on 10 April 2004[3] and was built to replace the Looping Star roller coaster at Bobbejaanland. Typhoon was the most popular roller coaster in the park as of 2010.
Typhoon is a relatively compact roller coaster with a base of 75 metres by 29 metres with a maximum height of almost 26 metres, which has been cited as being particularly small for a roller coaster with the number of inversions that Typhoon has. The Typhoon has four inversions: a vertical loop, double heartline roll and an additional single heartline roll. Typhoon has single cars which can each carry eight passengers (two rows of four people).
