Inversiones Velocidad Intensidad Tiempo muerto

Alpengeist is undoubtedly one of the most intimidating attractions that company Bolliger & Mabillard have ever put out. The ride stands almost 200 feet tall and reaches speeds of almost 70 mph; stats that no other inverted coaster on the planet can claim. The ride is an absolute monster and one of my personal favorite rides built by B&M. Many in the coaster community often say that the scale of a ride never matters; it's what you do with the ride. This is true in most cases, but the size and speed of a ride will typically always add to the experience. One of the many factors that makes Alpengeist the beast that it is is the pure scale of the ride. Before the midcourse brake-run, every single element is absolutely massive and is taken with intense amounts of speed. Each of the four inversions concluding the drop whip you in ways you cannot imagine as the valleys deliver some of the most forceful positives you will feel on a B&M attraction. The cobra roll in particular seems dangerous at how intense it whips the train through, snapping riders with unimaginable force. Now, with all this praise, one would like to think that this ride should receive all five stars. In fact, it's not even my favorite inverted coaster. Why? A recurring problem that Alpengeist has always seen is, ironic enough, its pacing during the second half of the layout. Now, the ride features a zero-g roll, a corkscrew, and some helices; typically highlights of most inverted coasters. The inversions are still fun, but a lot of the force is taken out of them because of the trims that hit the train on the previous midcourse brake-run. Because of how simply barbaric that first half is, though, I will give the second half the benefit of the doubt and give this 4.5 of 5 stars. Don't get me wrong, the second half is still very fun, but a massive downgrade in comparison the first half.

¡Buena sorpresa! Fun Intensidad

Ahhhhh Eurosat qu’est ce qu’il était fou. Mes souvenirs sont assez flou car la dernière fois que je l’avais rider je devais avoir 10 ans. Mais de souvenir c’était du old school dans toute sa splendeur à l’instar d’un euro-mir. Pour du familial c’était bien intense comme il faut. Le côté bourrin du coaster me faisait l’adorer encore plus. Clairement je me souvenais des rides tellement fun que j’ai eu, avec ma famille mes amis. Que de souvenirs…

I rode this once on the back row on opening day, and it was underwhelming. It doesn't feel or look as tall as The Big One. It's not rough, but the layout feels jerky and unnatural, and it's over way too fast. The theming is abysmally bad; the attempts at theming they've done are worse than nothing. People who think this is the best coaster in the UK are clowns; it's not even the best at Thorpe Park.

In terms of kids coasters, this ride is pretty decent. But as a coaster enthusiast, I find myself having no reason to ever ride this attraction unless with kids of my own, and for that, no reason to give this ride a score higher than the minimum.

Kings Island's mine train Adventure Express is a ride that has certainly held up for its time. Opening over 30 years ago, the ride still tracks well. Whether it be a testament to Kings Island's care for their rides, or just simply fine aging, the ride still is fun to ride today. Unfortunately, that is certainly not to say that the layout for this ride is smooth. While it may track well, the layout for the ride features a plethora of the janky turns and track profiling that Arrow Dynamics was and still is known for. In my opinion, I do enjoy some of the jank from the old Arrow Dynamics creations, and this ride is no exception. I do believe that it adds to the wildness of the ride, albeit, it does make the experience less comfortable. Another point to mention is how the ride uses its speed. The coaster uses the surrounding terrain to its advantage, leading to a better sense of speed throughout. Overall, the pacing throughout the experience is nothing short of great, except for one major complaint: the ending. There may have not been many other options to reach the top of the hill again, but having a drawn-out lift hill leading straight into the station is a very anti-climactic ending to a fun ride. Thankfully, the ride recently underwent an overhaul, resulting in a significant upgrade in theming for the ride, with engaging props and even animatronics throughout. For what this ride is meant to do, I do find myself enjoying this ride more than I should have, as it is a mildly thrilling mine train that feels out-of-control and features great theming.

It was a masterpiece. Insane speed and the arcade roll is the best.

I feel silly complaining about it’s rattle, since I didn’t feel it had much of one (it’s an old wooden coaster so it was bound to have a bit of one), but I can look past it because everything else about this ride is awesome! I love the new trains although I did prefer the restraint on the old ones. Still a great ride.

My first B&M invert, great ride. Would recommend.
