Anton Schwarzkopf, known for his innovative steel coasters, dies Monday morning following a 15-year battle with Parkinson's Disease.
Schwarzkopf began building coasters in the Sixties, and produced them for several decades, even enduring bankruptcy. He is perhaps best known for shuttle loops and an array of portable rides that include Jumbo Jets, Looping Stars and Wildcats.
His son Weiland now runs a new company with the Schwarzkopf name.
