		It was the ghost of the Alps, or Alpengeist in the native tongue.
		In the case of Alpengeist, the track layout was woven deeper and deeper into a valley leading down to the banks of the park's central lagoon.
		Alpengeist quickly banks and sends thrill-seekers around a sharp, clockwise helix, then a U-turn in the opposite direction feeds into the final brake run and back to the lodge.

	Rollercoasters: Busch Gardens VA Alpengeist Photos
		With a name translating from German into "Ghost of the Alps", Alpengeist was added to Busch Gardens in 1997 as the parks first large steel BandM coaster.
		Part of the problem possibly lies in the taming of the trademark BandM operating sound, due to construction constraints regarding height and noise regulations that had to be met to secure permits for the ride's construction.
		To avoid complaints from the theme park's neighbors, Alpengeist was built in a sunken area of the park, and landscaped with trees and shrubbery to prevent the spread of noise.

	Busch Gardens Williamsburg 10/19/1997
		Alpengeist is a fun ride, if a bit confusing since it sits right on the German/Canadian border and runs through Scotland.
		Alpengeist is very nicely laid out, and it is more than the usual collection of inversion elements tied together with more or (usually) less connecting track.
		Alpengeist is also notable for the theming, right down to the skis on the backs of the seats, the stones, snow, and icicles hanging from the surrounding buildings, and the unlucky skier with his head buried in the drink stand roof.

	Theme Park Critic - Alpengeist Review Comments
		I agree that Alpengeist's intensity is superb, and although I do enjoy Montu a bit more, Alpengeist still manages to get into my Top 10 too.
		It is unfortunate to see this, as it is clearly empirical evidence of the fact that he knows nothing about coasters whatsoever.
		Alpengeist is one hell of an experience, even if you've ridden taller, faster, and bigger coasters.

	Busch Gardens Williamsburg Announces A Record-Breaking Attraction That's Sure To Cool Things Off In 1997
		Not only will "Alpengeist(TM)" be the tallest and fastest inverted roller coaster ever created at 195 feet and 67 mph; but, it will include the largest vertical loop at 106 feet and largest drop at 170 feet (nearly 17 stories) to appear on any inverted roller coaster to date.
		The inspiration for the coaster's six inverted elements are such eye-popping flight maneuvers as the "Immelman" inverse diving loop, the boomerang-motion of the "Cobra Roll," and a sensation of weightlessness while completing a 360-degree "Zero-G-Roll." "Alpengeist represents three years of dedicated research and planning," said Keith Kasen, executive vice president and general manager.
		The result is without equal." Construction of Alpengeist is currently underway.

	BUSCH GARDENS WANTS TO BUILD COASTER BIGGER THAN ALPENGEIST (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Less than two years after winning county approval for its Alpengeist roller coaster, Busch Gardens is hoping to build an even bigger one.
		The theme park, which opened the inverted, twisted Alpengeist this year, has applied to James City County for permission to build another coaster, this one 250 feet tall - about 15 feet higher than Alpengeist and about 100 feet higher than DrachenFire.
		Busch Gardens wants to place the coaster close to the front of the park to keep it as far away as possible from residential development, county planner Paul Holt said.
