Not as good as the original Cyclone at Coney Island, but probably the best of the remaining cyclone "clones" still around (RIP Texas Cyclone, Psyclone) Viper delivers an enjoyable ride; it's not terribly rough like some other woodies are, but it's not smooth as glass like El Toro. Just like a wooden coaster should, not to smooth, but not to rough. - Mike Brilhart

This coaster is awesome! It is my favorite wooden coaster. (When I was at Six Flags Magic Mountain I didn't get to ride Apocolypse) It has intense airtime especially in the back seat. Also the line moves very fast for Six Flags coasters. - raging bull

I really hated this coaster. It was bumpy hurt and was exteremelly uncomfortable. I really didn't enjoy it. - Andrew Dougherty

Viper comes alive in the dark, and is a beast in the light as well. Great airtime for this coaster. If its one thing that Great America has that is better than any other park, its there two GREAT wooden coasters. - Joey Till

For a wooden coaster, Viper is remarkably smooth. It has lots of great air-time, too. LOVE it! - Trisha Levine
