Chill out with 'Alpengeist' at the Worlds of Busch Gardens Europe

It was 300 years ago, deep in the German Alps. Blizzarding gusts of falling snow blocked out the sunlight and snow drifts heaped up past the rooftops. But one noise and one noise alone rose above the deafening wind. It was the Ghost of the Alps, or "Alpengeist" in the native tongue.

Find out what happens next in our newest feature movie for Busch Gardens Europe's star inverted coaster Alpengeist, still the largest ride of its kind on earth. Haunting the park's Germany section since 1997, this $20 million ride sends thirty-two riders at a time through its custom layout.

Get a look at the ride up close and personal in the three-and-a-half-minute video, which includes footage of nearly the entire ride.

Take me there!
