Best coaster under 100ft?

[coasterman]

^ I agree with you. Does anyone know how tall Boulder Dash is?

 

[Hixee]

^Well I don't think it can be much higher than about 30-40ft from the ground at any point, but the drop is 115ft. So I wouldn't count this as a coaster under 100ft.

 

[coasterman]

^ Ok. Thanks!

Mammut, Erlebnispark Tripsdrill - 100ft
Apocalypse the ride / Terminator, SFMM - 95ft

^ You forgot El Toro, Freizeitpark Plohn which is 80ft tall.

 

[CoasterCrazy]

^Well, to be honest, I forgot around 100 of them...

Of course size doesn't matter!
We are a little more intelligent here at CF, don't wanna be like the masses where if its not 400 feet, 100 mph and 12 inversions it's crap

A lot of woodies are under 100 feet and sub 50 mph and they are great!


Hyrda's drop is 105 feet sooo it really exceeds that height, but a very fun ride for a small one.

Phoenix and Leap the Dips come to mind. Verbolten was also very good. Different and unique.

It isn't the size/length that matters, its the layout and rider experience.

Ravine Flyer II would be my #1, however its drop is at 115', so take that however you will.

Thunderhead (100'5"), Maverick (105'), and Apocalypse (95') are also in my top ten, all very close or under the height mark, and give absolutely remarkable rides compared to their much larger/longer counterparts.

2. Tonnerre de Zeus
3. Colossus

Black Mamba <3 One of my absolute favourites all categories! And it's just 85 feet.

Honestly, the only ride that comes to mind is Phoenix which is only 72' tall, and gives an amazing ride every time.

But if you want to count this kind of Height, Boulder Dash doesn't get more than 100ft above the ground either, despite having a long drop.

 

[madhjsp]

Along the same lines of Maverick, you could reasonably make an argument for any Batman-The Ride clone (actually 105') as one of the better rides that's around 100 feet tall.

Thunderhead is my personal highest-rated coaster that actually fits within this category, with a drop of exactly 100 ft.

Cyclone at Coney Island anyone?? I've never had the chance to ride it, but it is one of the most famous and iconic coasters in the world.

As for myself my favorite ride under 100ft. would probably be Hydra. Also to add on to this, best ride under 50ft. for me would be the Back Lot Stunt Coaster at Kings Dominion.

^So? Famous doesn't mean good.

 

[gopats1479]

I would have to say either American Thunder/Evel Knievel or Cornball Express. If Batman was under 100 it would be the best. I'm surprised that (to my knowledge) nobody has said anything about Pandemonium. It's not half as fast as most of the coasters mentioned, but it's just pure fun IMO.

I seriously have to say Spongebob Squarepants Rock Bottom Plunge at Nickolodeon Universe.
This is a pretty good picture:

Now that is clever.

Vortex at Canada's Wonderland and Jack Rabbit(Both) get added to my list of Phoenix and Leap the Dips

Coaster, Playland PNE; it's my joint #1 with Skyrush and is only 75 feet tall.
