Anton Schwarzkopf designed his first coaster in 1964, the Wildcat. Today the name Schwarzkopf is synonymous with quality portable and permanent amusement rides. With each new ride that he designed, he suprised the industry with his inventiveness, indeed some of his coasters were never built because of his "inventiveness". Anton also gave everyone the first proper looping roller coaster, Revolution. When he retired to Germany in 1995, he left with him a legacy of passion and determination. This legacy ensured that his company will continue to provide quality thrill rides into the 21st century. Anton sadly passed away on the morning of July 30th 2001 after a long battle with Parkinson's Disease.
