Well, I wouldn't go that far. I've found Griffon and Apollo's Chariot to be smoother rides than Alpengeist. But I don't think Alpengeist is all that rough, either.
I sort of agree... while Alpengeist is easily one of my favorite inverts, it does have it's moments. But then again, so does every other old- school B&M.
America also was the country that outlawed Tagadas, so I'm not having as high hopes. Great TR, and seriously, Lost Gravity is an impressive-looking coaster!
Better ride names... Hmmm...
Firehawk
Thunderhawk
Nighthawk
Skyhawk
Valravnhawk
MillenniumForceHawk
... I could keep going all day...
How about CobrasCurseHawk?
But in all seriousness, all my prayers are going to the Crouse family tonight. My PayPal is sadly down at the moment, so I didn't donate, but I hope to do so soon. Get well soon Jack!
