Roller coasters can be categorized by the height of the first hill.
Assume the height of the first drop is 200 feet above the ground.
The lowest part of that drop is 40 feet above the ground.

To find the height of the first hill, you can subtract the height of the lowest part of the drop from the height of the first drop.
Using the numbers provided:
200 ft (height of the first drop) - 40 ft (height of the lowest part) = 160 ft.
So, the height of the first hill is 160 feet.
