Thanks guys. Yup, the Peachtree Express is NOT the coaster in the movie - Tom Keener is correct in that there is no drop before the large curve. The pictures he/rollergator found look just like the one in the movie. Very cool!
Billboard Magazine in a 1958ish article mentioned a Miler coaster that was about thirty feet high and another that was about forty-feet high. It's hard to tell how high the lift is on the Peachtree Express. While on the Royal American Shows midway it had lights strung higher than the track. Maybe that height was included.
