The Viper

Roller coaster
Minimum height to ride: 48 inches

About The Viper

The lift up the hil takes about as long as The Ride of Steel, which is about 100 feet higher than the Viper. I suppose it's to build suspense, i don't know. Once at the top you swing around a banked turn and down a hill into a regular loop. Then I lost track from there. You get looped and twirled and swirled and all of that. Then it almost completely stops in the middle of the ride and you go down another hill, pretty close to some trees. You roll around some more then come back to the station. It's a good ride. -- Last edited by dyLO :p

Great speed, nice loop into a pretzel, a spiral, and then it's down into the tunnel. For a 26 year old coaster it's still a blast to ride. The cars could use a refurbishing to make it a little more comfortable though. - Chris McCombs

Good but too short. Some headbanging on some parts but overall typical of these. Wud ride again. The best part is playing mini-golf while the coaster is going all around you since it's in the middle of the coaster area. Now THAT'S kewl! - Adrienne McDonald

Screamed my head off! - Bryan Brownell

Kinda boring - max mooney
