So, only done 14 and quite frankly, with the exception of Jetline and Lisebergbanan they're all a bit rubbish.
 
For their time - the 70s and 80s - Schwarzkopf coasters were the premium coasters and the best available. The alternatives at the time for steel coasters were either Arrow/Vekoma or Zyklon (Loop) Galaxi coasters - and boy those were/are the real rubbish with all their nice headbanging and jerky transitions. Additionally compared to the competitors named Schwarzkopf coasters really aged quite well while the others turned from bad to worse.
Compared to most modern coaster manufacturers and today's computer power they cannot compete - but like most coasters of that era they were still calculated manually.
 
I've done 36, and I've got most of the big ones that are left standing.

The ones still on my bucket list are:

Big Roller Coaster, Wonder Island
Shock Wave, Six Flags Over Texas
Oasis Express, Entertainment City
Golden Loop, Gold Reef City
Katapul, Hopi Hari
 
31, 12 of which are gone (or moved) now.

Disagree with Lofty though, whilst they aren't GREAT by today's standards, a lot of them are still pretty good (not just the two) - lot better than "mediocre" anyway. :)

I'm pretty sure I rode Tower of Terror at Camelot when I was a kid but not 100%, and I also may have rode Wiener Looping when it was at Boardwalk & Baseball in 1988, but again, it was so long ago I can't be sure.

Should be adding Mindbender at SFOG to this list later this year, and maybe Enigma too!

Disagree with me all you want, it doesn't make my opinion less that I think they're absolutely mediocre experiences. I think this because their experience is very flat with little to no fluctuation in the style of forces and they become rather formulaic. Opinions of course.
 
Mind Bender at Six Flags Over Georgia
Scorpion at Busch Gardens Tampa

This Edward M character is one of the most "overrated" people on the site. Has barely ridden any coasters! Sad!!!
 
When and where did you ride those two?
Wade Shows brings it to the Florida State Fair in Tampa in February. It's been there the last three years or so and it's probably the best run Wildcat I've done.

Comet II

Here I am with it at the State Fair in 2014

Dopple I got the chance to ride in Miami at the Miami Dade County Fair for its final visit before Conklin sold it ( supposably, Pakistan?) Back in 2008 before I had even moved here.
