I could go on and on about the landscaping, atmosphere, and pleasentness of the park, but I know what you're reading this for: roller coasters.
- The Loch Ness Monster
This Arrow Dynamics built looper was installed in 1978 and debuted as the only roller coaster in the world to feature inter-locking loops. One thing is certain, the layout and construction of this ride is still unmatched on any other thrill ride on the planet. Although like other older rides this one is getting a little rough and recieves a 7/10.
- The Big Bad Wolf
The second of the three Arrow coasters this has been made unofficially the best suspended coaster in the world. No other suspended is able to produce the speed and ride layout that "The Wolf" possesses. This ride is basically set up into two parts. The first being the journey through the Bavarian village and the second being the 99 foot drop into the Rhine River. This gets a 8/10.
- Drachen Fire
This ride completes the trio of Arrow coasters. Built in 1992 it has been closed since the middle of 1998. This ride was originally supposed to be built by B&M, but at the time they were only building inverted and stand-up designs. So Arrow took over the job and built the ride with a wider track gauge than was supposed to fit on their trains. This made the ride extremely rough. Drachen Fire opened with six inversions but in 1995 the final corkscrew was taken out making the count at five. In 1998 there was an accident with a man who claimed to have gotten whiplash riding it and sued. Busch closed the ride and has been looking to sell it, but with no official announcements of yet. I've been fortunate to have ridden it and give it a 5/10.
- Wilde Maus
This ride doesn't deserve a rating or an explanation. It is one of the worst wild mouse coasters I have been on and it doesn't reflect at all on the other rides in the park. However some history is always nice. It opened in 1996 under the name Izzy in respect for the Summer Olympics in Atlanta. In 1997 it changed to the current name Wilde Maus.
- Alpengeist
This B&M designed thrill machine can be summed up in one word: Wow. When it opened in 1997 it held records for tallest, fastest, and tallest vertical loop on an inverted coaster. Today it only holds two of those records, standing at 195 feet tall and having an 106 foot vertical loop it still takes my breath away riding it. The order of inversions is thus: Immelman, Vertical Loop, Cobra Roll, Zero-G Roll, Corkscrew. Rating: 9/10.
- Apollo's Chariot
After Alpengeist in '97 I didn't think they could top it. Two years later, they prove me wrong. Another B&M this was the first hyper-coaster by the company. With amazing trains and smooth riding this became my favorite hyper in the country. Although it only stands at 170 feet tall it packs a 210 foot frop that gives the biggest amount of airtime you will ever feel. This ride holds the record for most amount of drop feet on a roller coaster at 825 and believe me you feel every foot of it. Every amazing plunge gently lifts you off of your seat and into the individual "clam-shaped" lap bar. With the elevated seating and front-less cars you can extend your feet, lift your arms up in the air and scream your lungs out the entire ride. Also take my advide and pick a seat on the far left side of the train. Don't ask just do it. Rating: 10/10.
