Alpengiest Cobra Roll

On the first inversion of Alpe's cobra roll, You get kind of a "whole body" whipping, so our not really hitting your neck. It deffinetly is one of the best inverted elements ever created (aside from the good old batman corkscrews)

-----------------
How much more floorless can they get?

Sprig, I have ridden Alpengeist over 130 times, probably 10-20 in the middle seats, and I have never seen a G meter.  Is it only on 1 train, 'cause I haven't seen it. 

Ok, I think you may just not know what you are looking for. It is simply a glass tube with red lines painted around it, with a small white weight inside suspended by a spring. Each line represents one G. So, when the small weight hits the third line, that is 3Gs. Also note it will show 0Gs (or less) when the weight is above the first line.

These are located on the back of the middle seats (IF I remember correctly). So, you need to be one row behind the middle seats to watch them. I think one row infront of the oversized seats.

They were running three trains when I was there, but I find it highly unlikely I managed to get in the same train each time I sat in the middle. So, I can't say for sure, but I do believe they are on three trains.

FutureDesigner:  I couldn't agree with you more, the 3rd drop on Apollo's Chariot is amazing from the back row.  The first time I rode it I was in the second row.  The second time I rode it I was in the back row and I sat in the back row ever since.
