Why is this ride's height 310'?

If this ride's height was measured at 310' 11", then why did it say that its height is 310'? 208.59.132.152 (talk) 01:54, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

Giga definition

When Millennium Force opened in 2000, it was the first and only giga coaster, a term coined by Intamin for a coaster that exceeded 300 feet. The definition has been changed by enthusiasts to apply to a coaster from any manufacturer that exceeds 300 feet. Then with the construction of Orion, Cedar Fair (along with the KI fanboys) stretched it to include a coaster with a "drop" that exceeds 300 feet. Such information does not belong in this article, particularly when the opening paragraph discusses the origin of the term. Originally it was 300 feet in height, and that was it. —JlACEer (talk) 04:29, 27 August 2022 (UTC)

I feel like there should at least be a note or parenthesis stating that the definition was changed in 2019. If it just remains as flat only 300+ft, then it wouldn't correlate with not only the current definition, but also the definition as listed on the article for "roller coaster."

Maybe something like this:

"Millennium Force broke five world records and was the world's first giga coaster, a term coined by Intamin and Cedar Point to represent roller coasters that exceed 300 feet (91 m) in height (later changed in 2019 to include both heights and/or drops between 300-399 feet)."

That much detail is not necessary in this article. Giga coaster is already linked and if people need more information they can click on it. When the term was originally defined it was a coaster over 300 feet and that's all that needs to be said in the opening paragraph. This is exactly how the Magnum XL-200 wiki article is also written. The definition for a hypercoaster at the time of Magnum's opening was any coaster 200 feet. The fact that it has been narrowed (by some) to 200 to 299.99 feet is not relevant to that article, and the fact that giga coaster has been redefined (by some) to 300 to 300.99 feet is also not relevant to this article.—JlACEer (talk) 15:15, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
