HowieP Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I'm also gonna say Cornball Express at Indiana Beach. It's fast, smooth, and proves that you get big thrills in small packages! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernierocker Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Like someone said before, if you could of made this the best woodie under 80-feet tall, then Phoenix would be the hands-down winner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cthulu Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 The Coaster at Playland is the most awesome woodie I have ridden at any height and clearly within this height range. The awesome airtime is not comparable to ANY other woodie i have ridden. The back seat on that thing is such an ejector its actually scary the first time you ride it, especially with that bar about a foot above yoru waist as the only thing holding you in. I cant say enough abaout that coaster, maybe my favorite of all coasters. Amazing considering the rest of that park is pretty tame with nothing really of note. My other top low woodies would be Santa Cruz Giant Dipper, Puyallup Fair Coaster, and the Yankee Cannonball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Like someone said before, if you could of made this the best woodie under 80-feet tall, then Phoenix would be the hands-down winner! Â + 1 x 10^23. Â Phoenix is 78ft tall, but it only has a 72' drop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraken & Manta Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 I've only been on two under 75 feet... the best of which is Starliner at Cypress Gardens. It was a fun little ride, sad to see it go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrea_loves_daisies Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 The drop is only 72 feet so I am going to say the Phoenix at Knoebels. If it's too high then the Rollo Coaster at Idlewild. They are both awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbear30 Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 I also forgot to mention the Ghoster Coasters(or whatever they are called now, I can't keep up with the name changes) at Carowinds, Kings Island and Kings Dominion. For being kiddie woodies they do really feel like a real wood coaster. I think they are a good start for most young kids and fun, even for adults.

GeForce Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Joris en de Draak (Georg and the Dragon) - Efteling it is simply an amazing duelling Coaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Linn Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Since Phoenix is 3 feet taller than the limit, I'm gonna have to go with Skyliner at Lakemont. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GwaziBSRider1 Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 I must agree with Lakemont's Skyliner because of its great pacing and wonderful airtime moments. However, Kennywood's Jack Rabbit also comes to mind. A back seat ride is just incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MayTheGForceBeWithYou Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Kennywood's Jack Rabbit and Lakeside's Cyclone have insane airtime for their size. On Cyclone, you will go at least a foot out of your seat (Possible because there's no lap bar; only a loose belt) on the first hill. The rest of the coaster is "okay", but that airtime pop in the front seat makes up for it all. Â PS I don't know if Cyclone makes the cut or not...looks around 70 feet, but I don't know exactly.

TheSchwitek Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Tornado at Stricker's Grove. (I'm not 100% about the height, but it seems to fit the category). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansrubens Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 I'd go with Joris en de Draak and Giant Dipper at Santa Cruz. Â Â ----Hans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmaxsba2408 Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Screechin' Eagle (SBNO) Americana/LeSourdsville Lake  If there ever was a coaster that needed saving Screechin' Eagle is it! One of the most insane out of control coasters ever built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DenDen Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 I like Kennywood's Thunderbolt. I know it's sometimes overrated, but it's a personal favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Shadey Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Yankee Cannonball at Canobie Lake Park takes the cake for me. Such nice pops of airtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totopez Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 I haven't tried that many small woodies, but I really like Rutschebanen at Tivoli in Copenhagen. But everything will of course change as soon as Twister at Gröna Lund in Stockholm is up and running... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bebes Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Of the 35 or so we've ridden, Santa Cruz BB's Giant Dipper takes it (6th overall woodie on our list), though I might argue that Phoenix is much higher on our list at 78ft TALL, with a 72ft DROP. Â WOODIES: Â 1. Voyage 2. El Toro 3. Phoenix 4. Ravine Flyer 2 5. GhostRider 6. SCBB Giant Dipper 7. Lightning Racers 8. Terminator: Salvation 9. Jackrabbit 10.

Sir Clinksalot Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Considering Phoenix is my #1 woodie period, I have to go with that. Â Runners up include Judge Roy Scream and Giant Dipper (SCBB). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matteocrepaldi Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Yes, Cornball Express was really good but IMO only in the front. I was also thinking about Thunderbolt at Kennywood. I've ridden it a few times in a raw and it was great. Â I vote Cyclope: insane airtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
