This ride at night has been cemented in my Top 5 during a night time ride. It just hits different at night. Such a great coaster overall!

[@Ghxzt2161]

At night or during the rain.

[@someoneout-there2165]

Yep night is usually better. I had a cool experience on this coaster we went on the 4th of July and got to ride this several times during the firework show, when you were near the top of the hill they looked so close and huge

[@garettoverstreet]

At night or my favorite dusk! 😂

[@inlinechris]

It’s the best night ride of all time IMO

[@JimmyMoore-wq2nn]

It's great in the day but at night it's magic 😊

[@gscott5778]

Thank you - That's the way ALL coaster videos should be filmed and presented. From launch, of pre-launch through to full stop at the dismount point.

[@VinceTheMovieMan]

Love this ride! One of my first if not first over 200 foot roller coasters

[@MarryPotter8163]

This ride is fantastic, no hoops or going upside-down, just a fun ride with some spectacular drops. Can’t wait to ride it again! 😁

[@basedmathh]

I wish there were more of those style of rides...

[@lightningboat]

@@basedmathh There's already a lot of these lmao B&M makes so many of these and most of them are in North America Same with Intamin, Skyrush is one of the best hypers in the world, with strong airtime and laterals, though the restraints are quite painful. Magnum is much worse, but has very strong airtime as well. Morgan hypers are... alright. Wild Thing is horrid, but Phantom’s Revenge, Mamba, and Superman: El Ultimo Escape are some of the best hypers in the world as well and Steel Force is great too!

Oh I definitely can lol. It's got some of that offbeat quirkiness early B&Ms had.

[@Jaxymann]

Just goes to show the extent to which B&M revolutionised the rollercoaster world in the 90s. Rides like this and Batman: The Ride were opened back when Bill Clinton was President, but are just as good now nearly 30 years later as on opening day!

My favorite coaster at my favorite amusement park! I rode this six times in one day. The seats make it unique; you’re not sitting low in a car.

[@davidm.kenneyjr.7426]

Whilst I love the thrills provided by flips and other such elements on coasters, my favorite elements of coasters are long and fast airtime hills and turns at any degree. I have not ridden this coaster, but I am sure it provides a great sense of flying freely.

[@TheIntrovert86]

I remember when this roller coaster debuted in 1999. That was the second and last time I went to Busch Gardens before this past Friday, July 26, 2024. I didn't get to ride it in 99 because the line was too long. But I got to ride it this year and WOW! I LOVE IT! This is number 3 in my top 3 roller coasters at Busch Gardens. Alpengeist is at number one. Griffon is number two.

[@Miaslayz301]

I have a question on alpengist is the stomach drop rlly bad?

[@chrisgrierishim]

i am scared of roller coasters. this was my second ever ride, and i loved every second.

[@autumndarragh6299]

My mom made me ride this with her, i remember being so afraid as it was my first “tall” coaster, the couple behind us were so sweet and encouraging. It’s intimidating your first ride, but it ended up being so fun! ❤

[@uneedsleep]

I went to this ride today and I have to say it’s the best gut wrenching, screaming, xia paio, humbling experience I’ve experienced

This Busch Gardens seems to be the real Busch Gardens or the original one, because the one in Tampa only has a handful of good rollercoasters.

For someone who hates the feeling in your stomach when you’re going down a drop. What is the best advice to overcome that fear?

Just do it and try to enjoy the other aspects. After your first big coaster it pretty much goes away

[@eliocosmos]

Scream. Screaming helps undo/mitigate that feeling.

Sorry. Boring. Next!!!

[@Secretsofsociety]

Hate to say it but I really feel like B&M is overrated. I can't think of one I rode that was actually memorable. They do make great inverts and I like those but otherwise find their rides kind of boring. That helix really kills the momentum and then it goes into a brake run.... Ehh.. no wonder I haven't come back to this park much since this ride opened. Hershey and Kings Dominion have better Coasters. Even my home park Six Flags America has Superman which I think is better than this one. Not into drop coasters at all. Alpengeist might be one of the best inverts I ever rode though and Lochness monster was my first full circuit looping coaster so those will always have a special place in my heart. I am planning to go back soon and try pantheon Perhaps that one is cool enough to put this park back on my map.

[@Secretsofsociety]

I was looking through my top list and the only none invert I really liked a lot was incredible hulk at Universal. That is one of the best rides of all time so they are certainly capable just haven't been on many of their best maybe. I also forgot they made the floorless coasters which I do like about as much as their inverts.

[@BrandonRealLilB]

this was literally the first B&M hyper ever made. The drop after the brake run gives the best airtime on Apollo's. But yes, Pantheon absolutely is worth the trip. The backwards airtime is the best element I've ever experienced.

[@Deebofreebo]

My top 3 rn are Iron Gwazi, Velocicoaster and this. Love this lil’ guy.
