	Anton Schwarzkopf - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Anton Schwarzkopf (1924-2001) was a prolific German roller coaster engineer and founder of the Schwarzkopf Industries company, which built numerous amusement park rides and roller coasters.
		Schwarzkopf was introduced into the industry with his father's involvement with the design of specialized trailers used to transport circus equipment.
		Schwarzkopf retired from the industry in 1995, and passed away on 30 July 2001 after suffering from Parkinson's disease for many years.

	Roller Coaster History \| Late Seventies
		Two of the big players building steel coasters were Intamin (Swiss Firm Intamin AG sold the rides of Anton Schwarzkopf, a German coaster designer, in the U.S.) and Arrow Development (which had pioneered the first use of tubular steel track).
		Schwarzkopf produced several types of coasters during this time that were reflections the portable steel coasters they had been making for German fairs under the name of Wildcat and Jumbo Jet.
		It is important to note that Anton Schwarzkopf was the one who designed these coasters and Intamin was simply the broker and U.S. representative for Anton's rides.

	Coaster Kingdom - Eurostar, German Fairs
		Anton Schwarzkopf, the mastermind behind the likes of Thriller and Dreier Looping, had fallen ill. His last major travelling coaster was 1989's Olympia Looping, while the only other major coaster to appear in this respite had been 1992's enclosed family ride, "Magic Mountain" (now "Star World").
		Schwarzkopf's travelling coasters were a masterclass of "staging", with the lift hill and bigger drops at the back of the ride, and other major elements, such as inversions, perched in the foreground, and often right above the paybox for maximum visual impact.
		From here, we are thrown straight into an inverted equivalent of the famous Schwarzkopf twisting first drop, and into the vertical loop with all the speed and fury of a rampaging rhinoceros.

	Coastersandmore.de - Roller Coaster magazine: Typhoon - How a roller coaster emerges: Looping Star's last ride
		For 24 years the Schwarzkopf classic Looping Star reliably did its job, but on 26th of October 2003 the „old lady“ saw her last ride.
		Anton Schwarzkopf was one of the world´s leading fairground attraction manufactureres who, supported by the engineer Werner Stengel, can be seen as the most innovative roller coaster builder of the 60s to the 80s.
		The flying experience that was presented in the year 2000 in the US for the first time would have been a top novelty in Europe, but the size of that ride exceeded the possibilities at Bobbejaanland by far.

		As is commonly the case with UK imports, the order in which the machines arrived in the UK does not map directly back onto the order in which the machines were introduced, so a couple of Skylabs had a brief sojourn on the UK fairs in the 1980s and 1990s.
		The naming of the ride and the tie-in with the popular television series was not entirely coincidental – the cars had been designed to resemble aspects of the Starship Enterprise, and the swanky upward folding doors had been modelled on the prestigious Mercedes 300 SL roadster.
		It was, however, the second Schwarzkopf Enterprise, developed for showman Beuermann, that fashioned the direction of Schwarzkopf’s ambitions.

		A small drip for speed and then a radical twisting, near vertical 93-ft dive into Anton’s Schwarzkopf’s near circular, back-to-back loops.
		The first yellow loop, one of the largest for Anton to use at that time, has a height of 91.5 ft and 81.6 ft for the second green loop.
		Coming out of the second loop, the riders are treated to a series of curves though the rides supports and into the 3rd, 56 ft red loop.

		Having worked under Anton Schwarzkopf for many years, Stengel was ready to make his own mark on the coaster scene.
		This is reminiscent of Schwarzkopf's attention grabbing arrangement of loops at the front of both Dreier and Olympia Looping, or his spectacular arrangement of Thriller's three circular loops one behind the other.
		Obviously Schwarzkopf didn't forget to teach Stengel the fact that a portable coaster, operated in a competitive pay-per-ride environment, needs to be as exciting for the spectator as for the rider in order to attract the crowds to the pay desk.

		Dorney's owners decided to buy a used Anton Schwarzkopf coaster that he called in his catalogue a "Double-Looping: Compact-Ride mobile and stationery type." It was a portable model, but the thrill factor was just what Dorney needed.

		Among other rides this company was responsible for the first modern steel coaster with a vertical loop and the Looping Star that was already presented in an earlier article of this series.
		The lead management for those projects was in the hands of Anton Schwarzkopf, Gerstlauer´s former boss, who was a contractor with his past competitors after his own companies´ bankruptcies.
		The multiple bankruptcies of Schwarzkopf and other companies in the roller coaster business advised caution, because building coasters is connected with extensive and incalculable risks.

		Revolution was also a great ride, with some good head-choppers with the trees, a nice layout on the hill, but the worlds first loop was quite intense, considering the speed entering the loop was kinda low.
		8/25/2004 11:34:49 AM Schwarzkopf designed some great coasters back in the day, but there are superior coaster designers now, but he'll always be known for his vertical loops.
		The only looping Schwarzkopf I've been on is the Laser at DP which is incredible for it's small size.

		It is no surprise that a coaster by Schwarzkopf was ahead of its time.
		As early as 1978 Schwarzkopf mentioned using LIM's to accelerate coasters- certainly a man who understood the future than even some today do.
		The ride's continued maintenance record and thrill factor stand as testament to the fact that Schwarzkopf was the greatest steel coaster designer and innovator history has seen.

		For those of you who don't know me, I am a huge Anton Schwarzkopf fan.
		It is my belief that his coasters were way ahead of his time, from the world's first vertical looping coaster Revolution to the launch mechanisms of his shuttle coasters to the circular loops of Zonga.
		I can't think of a Schwarzkopf creation I don't enjoy immensely, although that does mean I have to forget about Revolution in its current state, but that is another issue completely...

		Back in 1978, Anton Schwarzkopf's shuttle loop coaster was a big deal: getting launched through a complete loop at 57 miles an hour, blasting 138 feet into the sky at 70 degrees, and on top of that, repeating it all in reverse.
		One park to thrill their guests with the shuttle-looper model was Illinois' Six Flags Great America, where the concept was brought to the Midwestern U.S. for the first time as Tidal Wave.
		The weight-drop yanks the train from the station, and six seconds later, riders are traveling at a good 57 miles per hour and staring straight towards the Vertical Loop.
