It runs 5 trains simultaneously at high speed which interact with each other. Looks like a creation straight out of a PC coaster sim game.
Last seen at the German Octoberfest. Yes it is a PORTABLE!
YOW!

Holy crap! It looks like the coolest hot wheels set ever! :D
Europeans make great coasters. Wish they'd "port" it over here!

From what I remember there are 3 big portable Schwarzkopf multiloopers.
Olympia Looping (5 loops, still in Germany)
Thriller (then Taz's Texas Tornado at SFAstroworld, now Zonga at SFMarineWorld, 4 loops all circular with the first two making a continuous double loop on itself)
Dreirer Looping (3 loops, still in Germany I think)
Then, there is Eurostar, the large portable inverted looping coaster. (pics here (http://wipeout.free.fr/coaster/06.htm))
Also, there was a portable shuttle-loop coaster that is now permanently in... Vienna I think? Many other smaller portable coasters too. Bottom line is, I find portable coasters to be the wildest, most incredibly fun and scary rides out there with few exceptions.
