Alpengeist is B&Ms fastest and tallest inverted roller coaster. Alpengeist also, holds the 4 spot for longest inverted coaster. Alpengeist has many small details that do not ussaly appear on B&M coasters.
Alpengeist start&#39.s out going right into the chain lift. Unlike many B&Ms it does not feature a small dip prior to the chain lift. At the top of Alpengeist massive 195 foot lift there is the pre-drop that is featured on nearly all B&Ms. The 195 foot peak is the second highst point guests can reach. (behind griffons 205 foot peak) Alpengeist has the entire drop on a curve unlike many B&M inverts which curve half-way over. Alpengeist&#39.s drop atcaullaly goes under the lift. Alpengeist then slams you into a massive frist inversion the immeleman. The ride then takes you into a huge 106 foot loop. There is then a massive cobra roll. Unlike many B&M inverts there are mid-course brakes they occur after the cobra roll. The mid course brakes then drop you into a zero g roll right by the Le scoot log flume. There then is a few curves then a corkscerw and some more curves. That then leave you at the final brakes. If I remeber correctly there is a massive final brakes area.

Alpengeist a very forceful ride easily takes the spot for my favorite invert. The ride has minamal themeing in the que. Overall an excellent ride worth a good 25-40 minute wait. This ride is not very popular though.

Alpengeist was crowded when I went to BGE... I had to wait nearly an hour to ride it.
