Exciting, fast, good theming for a non-Disney ride, but not as smooth as the best steel coasters - Fraser Paskell

Alpengeist is so freaking insane. It is hauling butt from the drop to the end. The drop is insane. Back seat is best, it has the most speed in the back and just feels like your are out of control. I still get off Alpie feeling loopy in the head. Best ride in the park, YES better than Griffon!! - Christy Shuman

A notch below the rest at BGE, unless you are in the front seat. I just like being able to see, and there's not much to see unless you're in the front. Still fun and fast though. - Leon Pfeiffer

Alpengeist was getting just a bit rough last time I rode, but still the best inverted coaster out there. - Adam Imbruglio

Awesome roller coaster with even better theming! - Andy Marks
