Viper

About Viper

Made for people with tall necks only, and people who don't mind getting their head banged around the whole ride. I myself am one of those people.

After ascending the 177 ft. drop, we are treated to a 144 ft. vertical loop, a wide turn to the right, then 2 vertical loops back-to-back, a brake run, then the batwing element that most people seem to enjoy the most. After that, comes my favorite part-- the corkscrew. After that we go through some straight track, make a quick dip under the lift hill, then head into the final breaks. -- Last edited by Vahe Arevshatian

Readers' Opinions

Ok, i actually thought this ride was really fun. Its a little bumpy and stuff but oh well. I personally think its a lot more fun if you sit in the back of this ride...it seems so much faster! - Chloe !

To me Viper is just a taller, more looping version of revolution. Nothing special except the the Batwing and the first loop... I'll give it a 7/10... - Mateo sams

Viper was very rough. My head bounced off the shoulder restaints alot. I felt alot of G's on the first three loops. The batwing was OK. But the best part was double corkscrew. that was the highlight of the ride.I think they should rename it HEADACHE!!! If you are going to go on it, then sit in the front row. Trust me its the best. - Timothy Berg

Painful, Painful, PAINFUL! Ear aches, head aches, shoulder aches, you name it. Also, the way the restraints are designed allows a frightening amount of wiggle room for taller guests. - Josh Bishop

for shorter riders not a good experience but since i'm 6 foot 2 inches it's an awesome ride 7/10 - Michael Brunson

Viper was my very first Six Flags ride. I love it! It is awesome! - Sarah Meeks

WEll, It was an OUTSTANDING RIDE!!! But just be careful, cause no matter how tall or short you may be, you are going to get your head or neck bashed. But you know, still an absolute must ride!!! - Corey Nelson

Its a fun ride, my only issue was that near the end it kind of freaked me out a little cuz the ride was squeaking lol I thought it was gonna fall apart! - Kitty Kat

I love this ride! It was my first Six Flags coaster and it was great! I don't know why people say it's rough. I went on it and it was very smooth. - John Quinteros

this ride was ok but it was to jerky and wasnt that smooth but overall it was a good ride. - mark lunod

8/10 Used to be my absolute favorite. Now I'm into bigger and better rides. It bashes your ears like crazy, but is a lot of fun. My friend Chase's first loop heavy coaster. - Jack Borgeson

It would a REALLY GOOD ride if it was not so insanely jerky. - Sam Collier

Viper is an okay roller coaster. It is basically one big drop followed by seven inversions. Due to the roughness and better coasters at the park, it is probably not worth more than a ten minute wait. - AJ Hummel

this ride is really unsafe and needs to be removed asap, thats my opinion but still... I tweaked my neck even keeping my head back, if I get hurt on a ride I do not give it any praise, this ride did not have any fun parts its a torture ride. If you like that go right ahead. - Matthew Shelman

Everyone says this ride is bumpy and rough. It is a little but still a GREAT ride with cool loops. - David White
