This ride doesnt look all that exceptional, but I must say it was the surprise favorite at Astroworld. Ive been on several of these compact Schwarzkopf looping coasters before, and while theyre always good fun, that is usually the extent of it. Viper, though, really blew me away. The first curving drop was a doosey. Not only did the tunnel that enclosed it really add another exciting element, but when the curving straightened out at the bottom of the drop, there were just tremedous lateral gs being experienced. We didnt even have time to reposition ourselves after being shoved to the left side of the train before being thrust into that classic Schwarzkopf vertical loop. Following this were several swoops, turns, and dives that really delivered just amazing g-forces. The lateral gs were off the charts, and the negative gs were incredibly effective for the little dips and drops that produced them. Add that to the fact that the only restraint here is a lap bar, and you have a real winner with Six Flags Astroworlds Viper.
