This may sound like an obvious question, but it's one that's kinda confused me when it comes to terrain coasters.
I've long assumed that a coaster's height is just measured from its tallest point relative to the ground, but how do you then measure coasters that go up the side of a hill/mountain? For example, RCDB lists Lisebergbanan's height as 45 meters, but at no point would I argue it's 45 meters above ground — so is it from the bottom to the top of the lift hill? From the coaster's tallest point to its lowest? Or is it all just inconsistent?
