I heard MF was measured by a 3rd person, From what I understand the MF is 310 ft. I don't know for sure though...

Went Full Force: 2
Kicked The Sky: 5
Stood up to it: 4
Magnum:10, MeanS: 5
Unless the size is taller than originally thought, you will NEVER see those results.

Really? I thought you could sprinkle some Miracle Grow at the base of the supports and they would just shoot up!;) LOL!
That only works with wood coasters, CP_bound...

be nice to mean streak,if anything else,it is way cool to look at from perimeter road,even after you drive by mf.
besides, you know how fun those go karts would be in challenge park if they didnt have governors.
kinda weird a roller coaster and go karts have a sort of comparison isnt it?
the karts have governors to limit your speed and thus keep you out of danger. We would be just as safe on MS w/o trims as it is with them.
When I read Rideman, MFistheBEST, and Hooper's posts, I LMAO! :)
Yes, it was measured, and by tomorrow we'll all know the official numbers.

Does anyone ever read the news section of this site?

I do Jeff. I think it is a wonderful section. Always updated and informed!! Thank you!!
I also check the news section. It was the first place I looked when I checked the site out at work this afternoon to see what the "official" height was. Obviously no surprise. Really, did anyone think it would turn out to be taller than Steel Dragon? It was designed to be 310. Being 11" off is not that big of deal. I would have to wonder about the people who constructed it if turned out to be 9 ft taller than it was suppose to be. What kind of other major errors could they have made if that were true? Does anyone know if a third party has measured the Steel Dragon yet? If so, what are its official stats?
I think I got the news through email, first...
I enjoy reading the "Quote of the Moment", and right now, I'm happy.
