Intensity is our own three-step scale from published figures: extreme is 150 feet or taller, 74 mph or faster or 6 or more inversions; thrill is 100 feet or taller, any inversion, or a height to ride over 42 inches; family is a height to ride of 42 inches or less. A coaster those figures do not place has no label. Height to ride is from the park or, where it publishes none, Wikipedia.
