Is it possible that the heights stand for how tall the highest support per hill and lowest support, for each element or structure. Just an idea. I feel like a full coaster side view will actually show heights and such. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Expand I'd say it's track height because near each 'TOP' and 'BOTTOM' mark, there's some icon on the track itself designating the top or bottom, and some of these marks do not fall near a support column (say, about center of a track piece instead of on one end or the other). Having said that, there's no telling where these heights are measured. Is it at the spine center, is it centered between the two rails, is it heartline center? We do not know that base on the recent blueprints. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Lift hill bunny hop! I think it's just a representation of electrical wires going up the lift. You'll see a few others spots on the lift.

DiamondBanshee Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Imo there’s no way this coaster won’t be better than Millennium Force and Leviathan. I understand the love behind MF is like that behind The Beast, so I get people still liking that more, but with the mix of elements on this ride compared to those two, I think this will be miles better. I305 and Fury on the other hand... I guess we’ll have to wait and see, but if this coaster has to be absolutely flying and really surprise me to have a chance being better than those imo. Just my take on the matter. I’ll just sit here waiting to get stoned to death by the Mille/Levi lovers and the KI giga haters.

Look at MF and 305 for example. Both have a 300' drop, but one does 93 and the other 90 (supposedly, for both, using RCDB). If I had to guess, between 90-93. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
