Exact Numbers?

In the Oct. 1 picture:
"First track sections in place at bottom of 420 Ft."

Is the actual structure 420ft tall? Or is the actual drop? It really does not matter to me but I'm curious. I believe Magnum drops only 194 or something. I was just curious as that the track does not go all the way to the ground, so I really would like to just know, the drop in feet. Thank you.

The whole thing is 420feet tall, the drops are 400ft.

Thank you very much!

It is probably a little more or less. I remember Millennium Force was like 311.9 or something, but I'm not sure.

It was actually 310.11 ft.

2005: Ride Operations

MF is about 310' 11" [mesurements are NEVER exact]

310.11 is actully about 310 feet and between 1 and 2 inches. :)

Even if MF was 330 or 290 feet tall, it wouldn't make a significant enough difference to be noticable.

Millennium Force 03'

Except that if it was 290 ft, it wouldn't hold the record of first to 300! That's significant!
