rcjp Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 I've just realised I've never ridden a woodie under 75 ft tall
coasterbear30 Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 Cornball Express, Cyclops and Wooden Warrior take the cake for me.
tututiara Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Boulder Dash has a 115 ft first drop. Oh oops sorry I wasn't looking at the feet
jray21 Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 For a super short one, wooden warrior is a great woodie!
cfc Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 This is a tough choice, but I think I'll go with Cornball Express. Outlaw at Adventureland in Iowa is pretty good, too, as is White Lightning at Fun Spot.
gardyloo! Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Hard choice, but i'd with george and the dragon at efteling, great racing woodie, which are quite rare.
storms555 Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 I would have to go with Bluestreak at CP even though its just 3 ft taller but really 3 feet doesnt make that much of a difference. The ride packed a punch and had plenty of airtime! However Cyclops which I seen mentioned is pretty neat too as I remember that small hill that gave you awesome ejector air! It caught us all by surprise. I dont get the hype about Cornball though it was an ok ride but nothing to get excited over.
DoinItForTheFame Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 The Best Woodie under 75 feet Tall  Mine?  Sorry, I couldn't resist.  ------------------------------------------------------------  In all seriousness though... Thunderbolt at Kennywood gets my vote. That coaster sure packs a punch!!!
BigBad Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 The 75ft restriction certainly is to exclude Phoenix from this list. Phoenix isn't just a great coaster for its size. It's arguably the best coaster in a state that has three hypers. Â My vote is for Kennywood's Jack Rabbit. Thunderbolt is fun, too, but that final drop is close to 100 feet, excluding it from contention.
Angle O. Descent Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Thunderbolt (Kennywood) and White Lightning are both at the top of my list.
TheCoasterKid211 Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 ^ Agreed. Thunderbolt still runs amazing for it's age, and White Lightning is just plain fun.
Rill'o'beily Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 My vote goes to Twister at Gröna Lund. Exquisite airtime
sublimeairtime Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Boulder Dash's structure technically never exceeds 75 feet, so Boulder Dash gets my vote in a heartbeat
9Armgeddon4 Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 1. Cornball Express- Indiana Beach 2. Cyclops- Mt. Olympus 3. High Roller- Valleyfair 4. Jack Rabbit- Seabreeze 5. Pegasus- Mt. Olympus 6. Little Dipper- SFGAm 7. Meteor- Little Amerricka 8. Woodstock Express- KI, KD and Carowinds 9. Zach's Zoomer- Michigan Adventures 10. Lost Coaster of Supended Mountain- Indiana Beach These are the ones under 75ft that I have ridden.
chickenbowl Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Seems Phoenix narrowly doesn't qualify... Â In that case, Coaster at Playland definitely wins this thread, followed by White Lightning.
coasterbill Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 I would have to go with Bluestreak at CP even though its just 3 ft taller  Your favorite "Woodie under 75 feet Tall" should probably be a "Woodie under 75 feet Tall". Without that stipulation this thread might as well be locked since Phoenix would be everyone's answer.
Steely Dan Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 If Kennywood's Thunderbolt doesn't count because of the final 90' drop, then the best sub 75' woodie that I've ridden is a tie between Mt. Olympus' Cyclops and Kennywood's Jack Rabbit.
cparkes92 Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 My favorite (by default) would be Zach's Zoomer at Michigan's Adventure as it's the only sub-75' woodie I've ridden
KJ7500 Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 White Lightning - it opens up a serious can of whup ass !
defrocker Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 I've gotta go with Wooden Warrior. That thing really surprised me. Delivered a wilder ride than many rides 2, 3, 4x its size. Â Honorable mention to Jack Rabbit.
boldikus Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Based on that list a couple pages back Ive only ridden the two at Kennywood, so I'll go with Jack Rabbit since its considerably better than Racer.
flagrockerthegreat Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 I can't believe no one has mentioned the Cannonball at Lake Winnie in GA. Maybe you haven't experienced it, but it kicks total A$$. The airtime is great and the last jump into the station is amazing! It feels like the whole train comes off the track. Good times and great oldies! *cough cough* There's also Cannonball Run at Waterville USA Gulf Shores, Al.
ytterbiumanalyst Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Among all currently operating coasters I've ridden that qualify, I'd say Cornball Express. Outlaw and Legend are pretty great too--I had a hard time choosing among them.
