Viper is a decent Arrow looper. The ride opened as the holder of thw rodl record for inversions back 20+ years ago, and is thrilling a second generation with a fun ride. The ride starts out well, with a good loop and batwing, and then it hits the brakes. This is a reoccuring theme on these Arrow loopers, and that is the rough ride after the brake run. The train drops into a double corkscrew and messes around with an underground helix and a couple more turns before heading back to the station. That last section is extremely rough and just rattles the skull. However, a redeeming quality of the last portion is the fact that it is set just feet above the heads of mini-golfers, and such interaction with the course makes the ride a bit cooler. With a seven, this is a pretty good looper, even if it has seen better days, almost all of these rides have trouble in the corkscrews so I cant be too upset.
