Alpengeist is the best inverted roller coaster, perhaps for me tied with volcano. Maybe c c should do a roller coaster showdown between volcano and alpengeist. Two highly themed and thrilling inverts. Alpengeist does have some head banging in the cobra roll like c c said and in the turn into the mid course break run. Also, it does put some pressure on my legs at such a high speed on an invert. But i can look past that for the incredible and thrilling ride it delivers. It is one of the best of the inverted roller coasters because it has great height, speed, and a good number of inversions and elements. Plus the themeing is excellent.

Alpie’s now one of my favourite inverts. I don’t remember being all too impressed on my last visit, but on my recent one I came off buzzing. Ties with Montu, in my opinion.

Out of all the inverts i’ve ridden (Nemesis, B:TR, Montu, Pyrenees, Black Mamba, Silver Bullet, Talon, Patriot and Nemesis Inferno) This ranks pretty near the top. I wouldn’t say it’s the best invert i’ve ridden, but I’d say it comes a close second to Montu and Nemesis.

Come on, Alpengeist isn’t that good! There are so many better inverts out there.

I agree. This is my favorite ride out of anywhere I’ve been! (but inverted coasters are my favorite anyways) I know for a fact that it has lost a little bit of the smoothness the past 5-8 years but it still is worthy of the 10 rating

I’ve got to say I don’t agree with your review. Alpengeist has a great layout, terrain and looks visually impressive. However, I felt that the Vertical Loop was a little forceless and the second section was a little dull, even riding at the back. I think you were a little generous with the 10, as even though Alpengeist is one of the best inverts, it is not the king.

well, i dont know if this is the norm for it, but when i went in the summer a few years ago, Nessie had a 2 and a half hour wait, Apollo had a 5 minute wait, and Alppy had no wait…
