  • This was my first roller coaster, and it is still fun. It's certainly a bit janky because it's quite old, but the first drop, loop, and final helix are fun and intense. There isn't any spectacular her...

    Nice surprise! Fun Intensity

    This one surprised me the most on my trip to BGT. I thought this layout looked like a pretty normal mid-tier coaster but I was very surprised at how intense it got. The drop into the loop was pretty...

    Ce vieux coaster Schwarzkopf, bien que correctement conservé, commençait à accuser son âge, notamment en comparaison des autres grosses machines du parc. Le loop, bien intense, était le meilleur éléme...

    I rode this ride when I was 3 and I loved it, and I'm crying right now because I loved this coaster, and to all the people who say I'm so happy they torn it down and its bumpy and it is bumpy but the...

    Lap Bar Intensity Smoothness Too short

    I rode this once in the first or second row, but I remember thinking it was decent. It was very smooth and forceful.

    This thing was such a sleeper hit at this park! Schwarzkopf loopers have a simple formula, but one that most definitely works! The lone vertical loop is of course the highlight, and it's great, the re...

    Comfort Layout Rattle Too short

    I like compact coasters but when it comes to Scorpion this type of compact is not good. it is a great first inversion coaster and it was mine, however, it has definitely aged in the last 44 years. the...

    Lap Bar Intensity Rattle

    Les hélixs sont d'une intensité complètement aberrantes. Bien qu'il ait 40 ans, ce coaster mérite d'être ridé.

    Fun Intensity

    Very fun classic coaster. The whole layout is intense and low to the ground. The high-speed, low turns to the end of the ride are super fun and riding this with just the simple lap bar makes for a sup...

    Toujours sympa les vieux schwarzkopf, ce sont des coasters qui vieillissent plutôt bien et sont toujours très confortable à rider de nos jours !

    Two experiences = the first row was horrible - after the loop, feeling of " being compressed " with a chock in the neck and bearing the fast curves and the ride was like " never-ending " - but the sec...

    This was a smooth smaller Schwarzkopf that is worth a ride for sure. I love these older ones when they are well maintained. The ride deserves a fresh coat of paint though so I hope the park spruces th...

    Vieille relique de chez Schwarzkopf, le looping (élément signature) est toujours d'aussi bonne facture. Par contre le reste du layout est vibrant et n'a que très peu d'intérêt. Il est court mais on n...

    For an oldie, Scorpion was fine if not pretty good. It can't hold up to other coasters at BGT, but I enjoyed the drop, inversion and sustained helix elements. I can imagine its capacity is a real chal...

    Inversions Nice surprise! Intensity Rattle

    Definitely a ride that should be talked about more. From first impressions, it's just a family coaster with a loop. What is surprising is the loop being an intense element and the ride ended up being ...

    I wasn’t expecting much from this ride but I was pleasantly surprised. The loop is solid as on all Schwarzkopf looping coasters but there was these 2 unexpected but awesome lateral jolts on the helixe...

    Un ride ayant peu d'intérêt mais pour un vieux Schwarzkopf de plus 40 ans et bien il a pourtant mieux vieilli que certain B&M du même parc qui n'ont même pas la moitié de son age !

    This is a fun little ride for introducing people to inversions on roller coasters. The final helix this ride has is surprisingly intense. Although the ride is old and sounds super janky it's actually ...

    Its a clissic but it does a loop and really nothing else still fun

    Lap Bar Intensity Too short

    Scorpion is an ok ride. The loop is forceful but the rest doesn’t do much else. It was also a little rough. The minimal restraints on it is definitely a positive though.

    I thought scorpion was good. I thought the helix at the end was forceful.

    This one is not for everyone, but the minimal restraints along with it's layout make is very fun in the back row for any enthusiast who is a fan of intense rides.

    Inversions Fun Layout

    Although some ride points are quite boring, the first drop and vertical loop are very fun elements. The most painful part is the brake run--beware!

    Un ride très old school qui n'en perd pas son fun. Néanmoins depuis on a appris à faire des trucs plus intéressant quand même.

    Dommage, mais quand on a des monstres d'intensité comme Kumba ou Montu dans le même parc, la route est un peu barré pour un vieux coaster comme celui-ci. Il serait grand temps de le vendre à un parc e...

    Some nice, toned-down Schwarzkopf insanity. Final helix can make you quite dizzy but the ride itself is great fun, love having the lap bars.

    The best choice in Florida for a first looping coaster. Though the one train operations plague this ride with long lines, it's comfortable with a surprising punch, and fun for everyone.
