I LOVE THE VIPER!!! It was my first roller coaster with an inversion.

[@Davidjon1946]

Im so old i remember the concessions stand that was in the middle of the walkup leading the the ride.im so old i remember viper having two trains running everyday due to the long wait times. I remember viper commercials

[@crystalklinedinst4580]

The Viper was my first roller coaster ever

[@Police-vk9ph]

Crystal Klinedinst me too

[@Davidjon1946]

Mine was the old wildcat at fantasy island

[@mariyah1203]

The ride of steel was mine...not a good choice for me lol

[@messybielec5294]

My owners first upside down coaster is here it’s the boomerang

[@coastaku1954]

This is my favourite Arrow Custom Looper, it's much smoother than some others

[@gabe4096]

I love the viper!!

[@aquilamines3247]

This is the best roller coaster ride I ever been on because I remember rightness when I was 12 years old back in grammar school in high school!! But I still love it especially the upside down part and definitely the tunnel part. And it's definitely much better than the predator because there's too bumpy wooden& rough!!

[@brads6903]

Viper is classic but come on bring something new in soon, like a coaster!!

[@oldaccount4546]

Your wish has been granted

[@jesscarlson3541]

[@sralyn]

Way better than the Steamin' Demon at Great Escape

[@ryanr2885]

Now if only it ran two trains like it did 35 years ago...

[@Davidjon1946]

Right!!!

[@missjennzaaa4365]

yea since 82

[@djmajik862]

but its time for a new one

[@charleyhibschweiler4555]

What I mean is that the ride experience isn't that good, and It's one of the rides you enjoy because of its significance.

[@charleyhibschweiler4555]

For an old coaster. It's time for a new one

[@charleyhibschweiler4555]

I would keep it due to it's historical significance. I would take out Mind Eraser and get a B&M or something like that.

[@jeffwalker2721]

they are getting a new ride in 2018!

[@adelaideyy]

I think they should keep all of the coasters they have.

[@oneandonlysound3453]

It'd be so cool if Six Flags taking this park back would give this the vekoma vest restraint trains, keep the name though, it'd be so sweet, and get them a few new rides in the future, as the lineup itself is pretty solid really.

[@erinmachowski9369]

I got stuck on the viper at the top of the hill

[@daved1535]

Wow 35 years old, how safe is that??

[@anotheroldaccount2993]

What seat is the best?

[@allielittere6261]

second to last

[@thefirefighter]

front

[@ryanr2885]

Last seat, you get some nice airtime on the drop.

[@oldaccount4546]

I tried all your suggestions this is my new account it was the best! Each spot was a great experience

[@Chris-bt2sd]

REALLY

[@daltonandrews5023]

[@abbylauuu]
