I’ve always thought the cobra roll is by far the most painful part of the ride. But that’s fine with me- I think every park should have at least one coaster that’s a little too wild for its own good, and at BGW, that’s Alpie.

I would have to agree that the drop is rather forceless. However, I find that to be part of the beauty of it. It’s refreshing and graceful, rather than intense. That may come as a surprise, given the intimidating appearance of it.
While taking in the scenery, you start to think to yourself: “Oooh this isn’t so bad...” Then suddenly an Alpine spirit takes control of your ski lift and sends you into the pulse-pounding thrill of a lifetime. It keeps with the story, and provides a well-paced/balanced experience.
Now, if it would flip me one more time before the final brake run, it would be almost perfect in my book.

Last year I got some night rides on a near 100 degree day in July and the helix surprisingly had somewhat strong positives. Who would've thought!
Can someone please explain to me how no one, and I mean literally no one on this site has ever come across this?
Also, how did they follow up this theme with the Apollo theme? Like who in there right mind was like “Yo, let’s build a massive record breaking B&M Invert and give it a theme song that will only be given out to select media day attendees on a CD and never be acknowledged ever.” Props to BGW, everyday you continue to impress me.
EDIT: I can’t fully listen to this. It hurts. I was so excited to see this in my youtube recommended section and I just feel empty. Everytime I hit play it just feels like walking across miles an endless void of legos with no shoes shrouded by darkness.

YES! YES YES YES YES YESSSSSSSSSSSS!
I have literally waited YEARS for this to surface online. I knew of its existence from an old press kit listing but haven't been able to find it anywhere. This is just as amazing as I had always hoped. I can retire now.

There are no words...
I can't say I blame BGW for pretending it never existed.

That's simply awful. It fits the theme about as well as a Walmart suit.

This... This can't be... There must be a glitch in the Matrix... How?.. why?...
You'd think it would have turned up somewhere in the park given how cheesy it is.

I need Busch Gardens Williamsburg to play this in the plaza outside of Alpengeist on every spring Sneak Peek day (roughly celebrating Alpie's birthday) from now till the end of time. This is ART and it MUST be heard!

Alpengeist, Germany, Blues/Jazz. What a year to be alive.
I think this makes up for not being able to ride.

They should have rounded up every copy of this and buried it in the desert with the Atari ET cartridges.

i just want to know what park executives told this man when they said "we want a song about our brand new roller coaster!" ... also, i think the song is hilariously cheesy and that makes it amazing.
I've downloaded it now! BGW can try to DMCA it back out of existence but I will NEVER let it die!
If there was a genre of music I could tie Alpengeist to, this would not be it.
