 Review of Alpengeist @ Busch Gardens Williamsburg

Alpengeist definitely lives up to its name of being one of the most fearsome inverted roller coasters ever invented. The theme, as with all the coasters at BGE, was astonishing and photogenic. The coaster takes you up 196' in the air (still the tallest of its kind) before sending you down a 170' twisting drop reaching speeds of 67 m.p.h. After the drop, it takes you up an extremely high immelman before sending you through one of the tallest vertical loops. I felt the high G forces going through inversions from the immelman to the vertical loop to the insane cobra roll and through the zero-g roll and corkscrew at the end. Overall, Alpengeist will leave wary riders in shivering cold chills as it rips through the loopy steel track with ferocity and intensity. My only knock on this coaster is that it is somewhat rougher than most B&M coasters, but it's not bad enough to turn riders away as it's still the most popular attraction at Busch Gardens. Alpengeist's definitely worth at least one ride (I rode it twice) so you can say that you conquered the intimidating snow beast chasing you down the rigid Alps.
