Loefet Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Jet Line @ Gröna Lund with 50kg of lead in all the footwells on the trains (700kg of extra weight ), so the park was sure that the trains would not stall on the track. The speed was Insane /// Marcus Jetline is certainly mindblowingly intense! when did they put the lead in? On the days when Robb, etc. were at Gröna lund to do the Twister film shoot, the weekend before the park opened that year. Epic rides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFJorts Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Mindbender at SFOG. Rode it 10 times in a row last year and it was worth every ride. No lines for this one while everyone eagerly waits for Dare Devil Dive. I'll take Mindbender every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry_Gumball Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I wish I got around to riding it more (2 rides for me is not enough for me to soak in my ride experience) but from what I recall, Zonga was pretty intense...not what it was supposed to be since it became a botched Schwarzkopf... As far as what's fresh in my head...I'm going to have to go with Monte. Loop wasn't crazy forceful, but sitting in that last car, going full speed up the back spike...Some good height and a good sudden positive...I actually brace myself for the sudden/sharp upward curve. I've ridden one other shuttle loop, which was Tidal Wave at Great America. I only rode once but I don't recall it being as intense as Monte (I always heard that the fly wheel launches had quicker acceleration compared to the weight drop models).

Wood Dragon 1988 Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Mind Bender at SFOG or Shockwave at SFOT for me. Just great, intense, smooth rides and even some airtime! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArizonaGuy Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Texas Tornado(Thriller) when it was at SFAW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WFChris Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Haven't been on many, but so far the most intense for me is easily Montaña Infinitum at La Feria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 (edited) I haven't been on as many of the old Schwarzkopf coasters as some of you, but based on personal experience, I'd say Montezooma's Revenge at Knott's and Mind Bender at Six Flags over Georgia. But from what I've heard, these have nothing on Olympia Looping. Edited September 22, 2013 by cfc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeromyL Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Colossus The Fire Dragon @ Lagoon how... very tight layout due to it being a traveling coaster... pulls some serious G's on the turn that immediately exits the second loop...

Geauga Dog Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Dorney's former Laser. It seemed like I would grey out every time coming out of the second loop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 ^Yes, that was a good one. Isn't on the European fair circuit now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasty82 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 ^Yes, it's on the german fair circuit. Laser was renamed to "Teststrecke" (test track) and got new trains made by SAT Rides.

larrygator Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I still don't get the fanaticism for Schwarzkopf coasters? Laser at Dorney Park was the most intense for me, until I rode Olympia Looping, but now Mindbender at Galaxyland is the most intense I have ridden. I don't find the shuttle loops as intense as going through a backwards loop on a Boomerang. As far as Mindbender (SFoG), Lisenbananananan, Jetline or any other that people jizz over, I just don't feel the intensity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I like Shockwave at SFOT over Mindbender. The killer airtime is great, and the back to back loops are fantastic. Even though the layout is so simple, it's packed with little surprises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 ^^I do enjoy the old Schwarzkopfs, but the most intense rides I've ever ridden are I305 and Insane. I've always thought that Lisebergbanan is a great terrain coaster for families, but not particularly "intense." But "intensity" is in the eye of the beholder, I guess. Mindbender at SFOG has always knocked me for a loop, as have the old Schwarzkopf launched shuttles, but I agree that going backwards through a Vekoma Boomerang is probably more "intense" (if not as pleasant).

greatadventurefan Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Thought It would be cool to do a spin-off of the favorite arrow coaster forum mine has to be zonga at discovery kingdom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry M Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I have only been on the one at Liseberg. However soon I will have been on Olympia Looping and then I will make up my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFOG1991 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Mind Bender at Six Flags Over Georgia I find his box track design superior to his other designs and I thought Mind Bender was better than Shockwave at SFOT and wayyy better than SooperDooperLooper even though I love that ride too. I love all Schwarzkopf creations. They are truly design genius and they have stood the test of time better than any other coaster brand. Mind Bender is definitely my favorite Schwarzkopf in the United States. I can't speak worldwide because I know he has some great designs that are portable in Europe and South America. Plus the other Mind Bender in Canada looks amazing too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superbatboy Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Shockwave at SFOT, only because I really enjoyed the VR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingwright Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Montezooma's Revenge! I haven't been on many Schwarzkopf coasters, but this one is nostalgic for me. It was my first time going upside-down on a coaster! It still holds up well too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

storms555 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I only been on one and that was Tig'rr at Indiana Beach. Somehow i miss up the Scorpion when i went to Busch Gardens though or else i could of added that to my list. I did enjoy Tig'rr though. I thought it was fun and if i remember it had no restraints That always makes some coasters more exciting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoinItForTheFame Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Ohhhh, good topic!! For me it's a toss up between: Mindbender at SFOG -and- Shockwave at SFOT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
