Alpengeist front seat on-ride 5K POV @60fps Busch Gardens Williamsburg 

Try griffin please

That's a pretty intense first roller coaster

@@michaelpryor78 it was 😭 (glad my friend motivated me to try it tho)

@@Cheshire_Rose 👍

Congrats

Believe me, the cobra roll (which is the third and fourth inversion in one element) is considered the highlight of the ride by enthusiasts. Some don't like it because it is so whippy, but it's my favorite element on an invert.

i wouldve just lied 😭😂

@@maincoasters lol

Don't worry about this.

They tripped at the finish line

@@elevatoralarmcoasterandarc1214 oh I’m fully panicked about it ngl

I’ve been on Batman and Nemesis, trust me, that sound is 20x louder irl

I know what you mean actually, a few coasters can have that affect on me as well. I305 at kings Dominion the first time i rode it.

My first one too!!

Very intense ride for your first

@@OperagerI mean Maverick was my first coaster. Lol

Yeah it got a paint job. I'm a big fan of the bright blue

Legendary

I know I'm late but if you clench your legs together and close your eyes you don't feel the drop as much, if at all. Alpengeist's drop banks to the right, as shown in the video, so you don't feel it. Apollo's Chariot you'll feel the drop on but it's also a lot of fun. My suggestion would be, if you haven't yet, give it a try and the worst thing that could happen is a minute of your life that you didn't like. You won't even think about it afterward. You got this! 👍

Just put your hands up and lean back. This helped me conquer roller coasters with huge drops.

eh not as bad as others since the first drop kinda twists but it’s definitely still there

For this type of ride specifically, I'd say more then others. If you are used to riding the more compact inverted coasters like your batman clones or talon at dorney, youll feel the height more on here, on the drop and large inversions. For coasters in general, not as much as like apollos chariot or pantheon at some points at the same park.

The nerds are going to pour into your comment instead, lol. The description specifies "B&M (Bolliger & Mabillard) inverted coaster" in which Alpengeist is. But Volcano was an Intamin.

@@Stagnant_Gravy my mistake, I just saw inverted coaster 😅

Yep, sure is

Not very high at all

The inversions and loops are really big.

It looks like after, the old paint was more dark green than this.

Definitely after, they used to use a much darker blue for their support columns

Pretty sure all the modern ones do. IIRC it's done to reduce stress on the lift chain. My home park (Carowinds) has 3 B&Ms (Afterburn, a shorter, slower, older but more element packed floorless like AG, Intimidator, a 3-train hyper similar to Chariot, and Fury 325, which needs no comment). Each has the "Dip" off the chain lift, even Afterburn (Originally our version of Top Gun), which predates Alpengeist by years. Better coasters or not I'd trade you home parks happily. BGW is absolutely beautiful. I was there when young, when BBW and DF were still operating. My last visit has been a while, latest ride then was Chariot. I know they've added Verbolten, a B&M dive coaster, and a new triple launch Intanmin ride that looks sweet. Cheers!

@BWM135 thanks because at the time I didn't know it was called a pre drop, I guess it makes sense from a engineering perspective 😅 🤔 😀

​@@BWM135I thought Intimidator and Fury 325 didn't have a pre-drop?!

@chargedonpc9989 they don't, I have no idea what the other commenter was talking about. Neither Intimidator nor Fury have any form of dip before their drops

not that loud now
