As of 2016 there are currently 182 wooden coasters in
existence in the world. What is really shocking is that The
Boss' third hill is taller than 73% of the rest of the wooden
coasters on the planet.
The Boss has the tenth tallest lift at 122 feet but as it exists on
a hillside the first drop comes in at 150 feet which ranks it 8th in
the world for a wooden coaster.
If you are looking at the above photo you might be wondering where I
took this photo from?
One of the really big surprises was that everyone got to climb
partway up the stairway that leads to The Boss' midcourse brake for
a great view of the ride speeding by.
It is really fun getting to go and walk under a coaster but to climb
up on one is beyond cool.
