Speaking of Mach Tower, if you want to ride it you better get there when they open. That thing breaks daily, usually before noon.

I still wish the trees would magicallly grow bigger and turn verbolten into the black forest instead of the black warehouse dirtmound. Is the show building visible from the park?

Does anyone know if they plan to show bits of the video on the on-ride photo monitors? It'd be cool if they at least showed the drop track segment, I'd love to see my expression.

Hi, question regarding Alpengeist. I rode it I believe early 2000's and became a favorite of mine. I recall reading additional trims were added at the point. Is this correct? If so from riders who rode it pre trims did it effect the overall experience?

Thx

^You know, that's the great thing about the alpiee, it's as smooth today as it ever was. Don't you dare worry about it.

As far as I know, Alpengeist's only trim brake is at the very top, right after the lift chain ends.

That being said, the mid-course brake run really slows the train down for the rest of the circuit.
