The Viper Rollercoaster at Six Flags Great America, Gurnee, Illinois

It's always been a tradition to end our day at Six Flags Great America with a ride on Viper. This empty station is what greeted us after we sprinted from our last ride on Raging Bull for one last ride on Viper.

We were all al little winded from the run by the time we got in the station.

In all of the years that I have been riding Viper it has never let me down. It's always smooth, fast and full of airtime, especially if you sit in 1.3 (that's the third row of the front car for those of you not versed in coaster geek speak).

Viper really shines, especially when compared to the Eagle. I just don't understand how this coaster can be always in top notch condition while the Eagle is always rough as hell? I don't want Viper's maintenance crew to all head over to the Eagle but they should sure be teaching the Eagle crew a thing or two.
