Has anybody been on a Schwarzkoph coaster? Possibly Texas Tornado at SFAstroworld or one of the 5 loop attractions? They seem to be pretty crazy and intense. 6 G +????? Really? What are there shuttle loops on? I have been dying to get on one of their full scale coasters.

Coasters- a little slice of heaven
I have been on the SuperDuperLooper at Hershey Park. It does not pull 5.4 G's, but it does have a circular loop and those circular loops are a weird expirience. My only Schwarzkoph looper so far, though I have been several of his portable coasters.

Ive Been On Two Sooper Dooper Looper @ Hershey park & Scorpion @ BGT. Schwarzkoph was the king of designers!!!
I have also been on two, Laser at Dorney(I think it is a Schwarzkoph?) and Scorpion at BGT. Fun little coasters. Laser is more intense than Scorpion, but I had more fun on Scorpion. It was more enjoyable.

Is the Wildcat at Cedar Point a Schwarzkoph? If so, I have.
Yes, Wildcat is a Schwarzkoph...and it's also the only coaster designed by him that I've been on. I really want to ride on of his loopers, also.
Correction, I have actually been on several other Schwarzkoph' that I forgot about. The others include the Scopion@BGT and Colossus:the Fire Dragon@Lagoon.

Lets see. I was on 2 Jet Stars, Jumbo Jet, Wildcat, sooperdooperlooper, and Laser at Dorney. His loops and helixes are powerful and intense! On the Laser my vision gets a little fuzzy after the second loop.

It's spelled Schwarzkopf. I've beem on the Jumbo Jet at CP as well as the original Wildcat,Willards Whizzer at Great America, the Revolution at Magic Mountain and both The Laser Loop at Kennywood and Montezooma's Revenge at Knott's.
I was on Nightmare at SFDL, a Jet Star II, before it was moved to the Great Escape. I was also on Wildcat at Cedar Point, which sucked.

I love the Scorpion at BGT! I would lov eto have that little coaster in my backyard!
my homepark SFAW has 3 schwarzkoph rollercoasters.The texas tornado pulls close to 7 g's ,viper is a single loop steel coaster and greezed lightning is a very fun launched steel rollercoaster.
Lemme say this, he makes INTENSE coasters.
I have been on
Wildcat-CP
Sooperdooperlooper-Hershey
Scorpion-BGT
Looping Star-Ocean City Piers
They are intense coasters, and a barrel of fun!
Conner:
I thought that Greased Lightnin' was a reversed incline coaster, and not launched?
I may be thinking of the one at PGA though.

I've been on three of them:Scorpion (BGT), Wildcat (CP), and Greezed Lightnin' (PGA). All of them were very fun.
