Best Coaster Under 100' Tall

Most of the coasters that dominate the Golden Tickets and various enthusiasts polls usually are coasters that are taller. This topic will focus on the best of the smaller, specifically those coasters under 100 feet tall. Coasters that just miss the 100' barrier include:

Maverick - Cedar Point (105')

Thunderhead - Dollywood (100.5')

Any of the Batman the Rides (105')

Prowler - WOF (102')

My personal favorite is Raven at Holiday World, particularly at night. If the coaster was a few hundred feet longer it'd be near the top of my wood coaster list, but as is it's a great ride and for it's size is really impressive. I can't wait to ride Phoenix at Knoebels to compare.

Let's hear what you got!

Flight of Fear all the way

I've waited a long time to vote on this because I havn't been on several of the rides that I know I'll be choosing from. I missed my trip to Holiday world and I'm not going to Hershey till the 20-21st.

Stroem, you've got me psyched out of my mind. I just realized that Hershey has GCI's a few weeks ago and had no idea that they had that good of woodies. I though I was going for a couple of Intamins and a B&M invert!

FOF gets my vote. I would be so crazy about this ride if they quit using the MCBR. I still love it but, can only imagine... until I ride Jokers Jinx that is.

Indeed it is:

...During Mystery Mine's 2.5-minute journey, passengers encounter a 95-degree, 85-foot vertical drop in addition to a weightless inversion known as a "heart-line roll" and a "rollover loop" or double inversion which consists of an upward half-loop and a half-roll. Mystery Mine also features an Immelmann maneuver. Named for German World War I pilot Max Immelmann, the maneuver begins much like the first half of a traditional vertical loop. As the coaster car approaches the loop's apex, it is inverted and travels back in the direction in which the car first entered the loop. Rather than completing the loop, the coaster car rolls on its axis, becoming right-side-up while simultaneously turning away from the loop. The coaster car exits the Immelmann maneuver almost in the same direction in which it initially approached the loop....
