Before Magnum... - CoasterBuzz

To put an end to this neither Gemeni or Colossus were the tallest coaster in the world. They were both beat out by five coasters that open before them with a taller height.
1977- Montezooma's Revenge at 148 feet tall
White Lightnin' at 137 feet tall
Tidal Wave at 137 feet tall
King Kobra at 137 feet tall
Greased Lightnin' at 137 feet tall
1978-Lochness Monster at 130 feet tall
-----------------
Lake Compounce-So Fresh and So Clean Clean

All of those above are off topic were talking about Full circut. And Nessie is not 130 feet tall well at lest before Alpengeist was built.

Jeff, Did you forget to feed the Raptor again? That Raptor is not in a good mood. See http://www.orlandosentinal.com/business/tourism/orl-asecbirds19071902jul19.story?coll=orl%2Dbusiness%2Dheadlines%2Dtourism and you know what I mean.

Loch Ness Monster was originally 114 feet tall

Vertigo, in your third pic you can clearly see that maggies first drop is easily well below that of the bunny hops. Have you ever been to CP? Go there and you can get pretty close to the bottom of the first drop. you can easily tell it's about 5 feet off the ground.

All I need is 4.5 million bucks and a half a mile long sliver of land and maybe someone could build me my very own Shivering Timbers. ;)

Good GOD!!! Magnum XL-200 has a 196 foot drop and is a small shade over 205 feet. Gemini was the tallest and fastest coaster when it came out. Monstra at La Ronda was the biggest before Magnum and is still one of the largest, for wood now a days. And for the love of God Cedar Point is not sinking...... it is on bed rock and the heaviest coaster is mean streak, I haven't seen that go into the earth. HOW DO I KNOW ALL OF THIS, MY UNCLE IS AN ACTING MEMBER FOR CEDARFAIR CORP.

Or maybe just anyone can lookup stats and use common sense.

We all do remember common sense, right?
