order to ride rides at BGW

wanted to know what order to ride the rides at BGW to make the best time?

Whatever order you can. They do a staggered opening of the park, so you can't just bolt back to Alpengeist.

However, I've been told by several people that if you get on the train, you can get off at one of the other stations and there you are. Anyone confirm or deny?

Go to left when you get in the go stright for Apollo's chariot. After you get off that go to Big Bad Wolf. Then go on wild mantis. Then go for Alpengiest. After that go to the Lochness Monster.

FEAR THE FOUR
Drachen fire what will happen to it?

This is the best strategy: Get there as early as possible. As the ropes drop, run to Apollo. Ride Apollo twice, then run to catch a train to Alpengeist. The train is about 20-30 yards from Apollo. I did this and the Alpen-area was a complete ghost town. I have a picture of the station, with nobody in it. I rode front and back without a waiting a single cycle. They sent off trains w/ 2 people for crying out loud! Do this strategy, it works. As for BBW and LNM, just do whatever.

Definitely head for Apollo's Chariot first as it's closest to the front of the park. Just make sure to pay attention and make the left turn towards Escape from Pompeii when entering the park. Then I would head "backwards" toward Germany and ride Big Bad Wolf and pay your sympathies to Drachen Fire. Next either hit the Wild Maus or Alpengeist. Finally head to Scotland and ride Loch Ness Monster. Finding your way around this park can be very tricky the first time as there are lot of small villages that "hide" the rides from view. It took me a good 5 minutes just to find the entrance to Alpengeist when I entered from the Canadian village. *** This post was edited by Intamin Fan on 3/20/2001. ***

Thanks for starting this thread, and thanks for the advice. I can't wait to go to BGW this summer! Apollo's Chariot is going to rule!

Every time I've been to BGW, the Loch Ness Monster has opened at 10:00 when the ropes drop, but the others don't open until 10:30 or sometimes even later. I've only been there during the less-crowded (and cooler) times of the year, so maybe they do it differently on busy days.

The only way we've done it and the only way I ever will unless they open stuff in the future is walk until you find Loch Ness. It's easy to find. Then ask someone the fastest way to Big Bad Wolf. Then ask someone how to get back to Alpengeist. Then ask someone how to get back to Apollo's. Well, not really. BGW is easy to navigate. I have issues with the order I ride those coasters in. It has to be in order, the order they built them. Front seat of them all first, then back seats. The rest of the day we can ride whatever however in any order.
