The final third of All American Triple Loop is filled with a few quick
dips and several helices for the train to fly through.
Outside of the runs through the the occasional block brake the finale
doesn't let up at all.
While I only rode All American Triple Loop once due to not wanting
to have my head battered between restraints it didn't lower my
impression of the ride at all.
You can still see that like the rest of the coasters from Anton
Schwarzkopf that they were light years ahead of Anton's main competitor
at the time which was Arrow Dynamics.
Arrow built their rides like they were just rearranging pre fabricated
pieces. Put the standard drop here. Put the standard sized
vertical loop here, maybe raise it higher to keep the speed just right
through the inversion, end with a corkscrew, and if there are awkward
transitions between the pre fab elements it is no big deal. There
are no awkward transitions on the rides that Anton built. Each
piece flows into the next as he was creating a complete work instead of
assembling pieces.
