Stratacoasters can technically reach this height, in feet.
To be fair, Stratacoasters can reach a height of up to 499 feet. Anything below 400 feet is regarded as a Gigacoaster while anything under 300 feet is classified as a Megacoaster (or Hypercoaster). With increased popularity of bigger and better coasters, sizes have been growing in the amusement park world. In 2003, the "Top Thrill Dragster" of Cedar Point became the first properly-designated Stratacoaster but its height (of 420 feet) was beaten two years later by "Kingda Ka", a Six Flags ride in New Jersey which reaches 456 feet and takes riders more than 200km/h out of the launch platform in less than four seconds.

Wildfire. Wildfire is a hybrid coaster, meaning it uses a steel track on a wooden support structure - the most common setup for woodies featuring inversions. It stands 56 meters tall and reaches a top speed of 115 kph. The fate of this ride was questioned after just one season when the building permit was found to be flawed and had to be revoked.
