Fun

Look, I'm a sucker for this. I first rode the original Scenic Railway in the early 80s - this coaster was my local one as a Margate boy, my Great Grandfather having ridden it in 1920 (when it first opened) The thrill of being tall enough to finally ride this as a child, even with the Looping Star nearby, was outstanding, and is the reason for my love of coasters today So my ranking is rose tinted, admittedly, but the joy even today on riding the original UK wooden coaster and its historic importance, plus being the coaster I have ridden more than any other except maybe the looping star ...

Inversions Intensity Duration

Alpengeist was my first invert and boy was it a great one. This ride absolutely excels in the intensity department; between a good first drop, six outstanding inversions, and great pacing, there really is not much to complain about here. Be prepared for the upwards cobra roll, as the transition coming out of it is very aggressive and can hurt if you’re not ready for it. Otherwise, it’s a very smooth ride and one that packs a great punch!
