Alpengeist

Ride Forces.

The numbers your referencing are sustained G’s. The number I’m referencing is just a g force moment during the cobra roll, and still a very impressive reading.

 

[Ultrasuede]

Can you calibrate it and rerun?

You are both referencing the same readout of 6.57 G's... Try recording the forces again and securing your phone next time, in your pocket, pinned against your leg- cause whatever you did on this occasion was clearly wrong. For starters, the lift hill shouldn't have multiple 1.5g spikes on it...

Ahhh my favorite. Those light lift hill positives.

Happy 28th birthday Alpengeist! My number 1 for life. Here she is at 7 years old.

Happy Birthday Alpengeist!

Not sure how it happened so coincidentally but today I went for a walk and when I tripped these photos fell out of my pocket phone inventory

 

[Coasternerd]

Since we’re sharing pictures… here’s a few of mine!

Maybe this is alpengeist related but has anyone noticed a employee standing at the alpengist vieweing area next to the new france bridge? Every time ive come I have noticed someone standing there with a walkie talkie. Surely nothing to do with the mid course?

I noticed this also. But there’s more than one employee. I’ve marked them in the red. Could it be a blind spot on camera(s) like what was going on with Roman Rapids when they had an employee standing at the exit across the bridge?

I’m late to the party but happy LATE birthday to the world’s most intense invert.

Alpengeist hauled ass today. My face was sagging like crazy after the cobra roll. I cant wait for the summer.

 

[Fenrihr]

Felt faster than I remember, but y'know, could just be memory ain't what it used to be.

that cobra roll still scares the shit out of me when approaching it with all that speed

One of those red circles is down in the hollow next to the flythrough where they used to take on-ride photos. There was an employee stationed down there?

Yes, I’m like 90% sure. When I rode it earlier in the season there was someone down there. The first time I saw it I thought someone was exploring or whatever, then I rode it later and another person was down there. And then yesterday there was still someone down there.

Not trying to derail the conversation but if this thing ever gets retracked I'd love to see a return of the on-ride photo. Any idea when it was removed? 2008?

Yep - its been since around then. I doubt it will ever return. Return on investment for the tech, photo materials, staff etc. is not ideal these days. Was neat though,

I love this coaster so much, it would be so interesting to do a long format video on (hint hint).
