TheoB Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Got to go with Grand National at Blackpool however the Wild Mouse and Tomahawk at PortAventura are also excellent, Tomahawk really suprised me!
gad198 Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Roar-O-Saurus at Story Land. Hard to believe that ride is only 40 feet tall with how much fun it packs in.
cookiex Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Twister at Gröna Lund. Only 51 feet tall. Close second would be the good-old Rutschebanen at Tivoli Gardens, which RCDB says is only 40 feet tall.
Canobie Coaster Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Roar-O-Saurus at Story Land. Hard to believe that ride is only 40 feet tall with how much fun it packs in. I agree Roar-o-saurus is amazing. Just a bit better than Wooden Warrior since it's a longer ride.
defrocker Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 Roar-O-Saurus at Story Land. Hard to believe that ride is only 40 feet tall with how much fun it packs in. I agree Roar-o-saurus is amazing. Just a bit better than Wooden Warrior since it's a longer ride. Actually, it's not longer. They're both 1240 ft long and 30 seconds from the top of the lift to brakes. If you think it's better, I won't argue as I have only ridden WW.
Canobie Coaster Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 Sorry longer maybe wasn't the right word. More elements is better to describe it. Roar-o-saurus has a few more hills than Wooden Warrior.
defrocker Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 In looking at the POV ( like I said, I've only ridden WW) I think I can agree with this. Pretty much after the bunny hill after the tunnel on WW it's over, but Roar o saurus doesn't seem to let up. If it packs more of a punch than WW I'd definitely like to take a spin on it. Either way, I'm blown away by what Gravity Group is doing with these tiny woodies these days!
bert425 Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 absolutely loved "Woodstock Express" at King's Dominion, and could have marathon ed that all day!
ScreaminNewEngland Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 Yankee Cannonball and White Lightning come to mind. Wooden Warrior is awesome too!
RollerManic Posted March 14, 2017 Posted March 14, 2017 Going to cheat here, since I've only been on a few woodies under 75ft, and therefore, I am going to extend my selection to all wooden coasters under 85ft (I haven't ridden Phoenix yet, so there is no danger of going just over 75 ft). American Thunder (82ft)
bgtlover Posted June 28, 2017 Posted June 28, 2017 (edited) White Lightning at Fun Spot America Orlando. Edited June 28, 2017 by bgtlover
djackson Posted June 28, 2017 Posted June 28, 2017 White Lightning at Fun Spot America Orlando.This may change when I ride Mine Blower later this summer. Mine blower is 82 ft.
GCI Wooden Posted June 28, 2017 Posted June 28, 2017 I just realized that Cornball Express is only 55 feet tall. That's the obvious choice for me because that thing is incredible.
bgtlover Posted June 28, 2017 Posted June 28, 2017 White Lightning at Fun Spot America Orlando.This may change when I ride Mine Blower later this summer. Mine blower is 82 ft. OH yeah...duh. Had a memory lapse at 2AM....lol
DoinItForTheFame Posted June 28, 2017 Posted June 28, 2017 Coming in at 74ft tall, InvadR gets my pick! It's a great coaster for its size!!! 74ft tall... hmmmm... it's like BGW built it just for this thread!!
KPfan Posted June 28, 2017 Posted June 28, 2017 Invadr was a fun ride but my vote would go to Thunderbolt at Kennywood with Cyclops at Mt. Olympus as my #2. For its age, Thunderbolt is surprisingly smooth which is a reflection of how well the park takes care of it.
Canobie Coaster Posted June 28, 2017 Posted June 28, 2017 Thunderbolt is a great ride. I was bummed to find out they had seat belts added, but the laterals are still that ride's bread and butter. I have a new king of the small hill, Cornball Express. The world's top roller coaster in 2002 according to ThemeParkCritic.com (a fact the park is very proud of lol) is absolutely amazing. I hadn't heard much about that coaster in a long time, but that ride gave some of the most intense air I've encountered and it was all just with buzz bars.
ArgoZ Posted June 29, 2017 Posted June 29, 2017 Easy. Coaster at Playland, Vancouver. The best traditional (non RMC, etc) wood coaster in the world, never mind best under 75'.
