Opening year? A solid 8, maybe a 9. With the brakes, its YAFBM (Yet another Forceless B&M).

why are you so against b&m, except for your perfect FL parks?

alpengeist has 3.7g at 67mph. yeah, forceless. im sorry but i dont like to blackout on a coaster due to high gs

1. It doesnt hit 3.7g anymore, more like 3.2. Most of the ride really is quite gentle. When I say forceless I dont nessesarily mean absolute G forces. What I really mean is changes of direction. Is the ride snappy? Alpengiest definatly isnt.

so you dont like straight track. i can see how that takes away from a ride but doesnt the design low to the ground make up for it

Not really. Its a subpar inverted. And its not even straight track as such. I dislike coasters with large inversions.

Wow, I love coasters with large well designed inversions. When did they add the brakes ? Just wondering. BGW is on my list for this year, I only live 6 hours away.

While I agree that some of the newer B&Ms are forceless (cough Dueling Dragons, every floorless, S:UF cough), Alpengeist is far from a foreceless coaster. I dont really know what Tyler is talking about.
