Remember how I mentioned that the Great American Eagle was
underrated. Partly it is due to being in the same park as Viper.
Viper was built in house by Six Flags and the rides layout is modeled
after the legendary Coney Island Cyclone.
Here is Bond getting ready to take The Viper on.
Unfortunately the best seat on the ride was only available on one of the
trains so Emily and I had to wait a little bit longer but with The Viper
the third row is always worth the wait as that seat has some of the best
airtime in the world.
The Viper has always been an extremely smooth wooden coaster and I am
certain with Six Flags Great America's maintenance department doing the
actual construction themselves they had quite a lot of input in the
design process and made every little bit of the ride the right way.
