The Tig'rr rollercoaster that is actually a Jet Star rollercoaster that was designed by one of the pioneers of steel coasters, Anton Schwarzkopf.  It is the most intense coaster for the space that it occupies.



In a space that's just 144 feet deep and 88 feet wide the Tig'rr has over 1700 feet of twisting and dropping track packed into it.



In 1999 in honor of Anton Schwarzkopf's 75th birthday I spent an afternoon taking 75 laps on the Tig'rr and can attest that it's a fun and an extremely re-ride able rollercoaster.



The Tig'rr normally seats two to four riders but when we were there six people crammed into a car and my thought was that if they weren't related when they got on they would be by the time they got off of it.
