The American Triple Loop at Indiana Beach, Monticello Indiana

When Indiana Beach announced this coaster they didn't quite have a name for it.  There was some speculation that it was just going to keep being known as it's original name: Drier Looping.  Eventually Indiana Beach picked a similar name for the ride: The All American Triple Loop.

The All American Triple Loop begins with a tire driven lift hill that wraps around the ride up to the highest point before sending you down this one hundred foot drop.

After speeding down that hundred foot drop the All American Triple Loop sends you rocketing back up into the sky at fifty-three point four miles an hour.

The first third of the All American Triple Loop is spiraling drops and then a spiraling climb up into one of the rides block braking section before sending you spiraling back down into the rides three loops.

When this coaster opened up to the public in June of 1984 at a fair in Hannover Germany it was the first coaster with three vertical loops.

Anton and Werner Stengel really made a wonderful work of art with this one.  Despite the ride not being up and running like any good work of art it moved me without even climbing aboard it.
