I was there at six flags on Wednesday this was the first ride I got on
Yes I have. In the very beginning after it opened. I do not even remember how many times I have ridden it. I lost count. I love that roller coaster. I used to work at magic mountain. Back in the late 1980s. So I have ridden every roller coaster they had at the time countless times. And after I stopped working there. They installed in 1989 and opened viper April 7th 1990. Then I started going back, as often as I could to ride viper. Back then. It was very cheap to get into magic mountain. Not even $20 at the time.
I have been on vioer many many fuckin times my favorite ride at valencia california 🤪🤪🤪🤪 so kool when its closing time let let us ride it 3 times in a row when there was no line lol 🥳🥳🥳
YES I HAVE RIDDEN AND HATED IT
Yes so much fun if didn't hit my head so much😂😂
This coaster is legendary. Still standing after SO MANY years! Can still spot it from the freeway. This was the VERY second coaster I EVER went on and I believe it was in 95’. Classic!!
it’s a clone of shockwave, so it’s not really a classic or original
@gigachad580It has the same layout…
old comment but I just went today and it was my second roller coaster as well almost fainted after the 3rd loop but I was ok other than my head hurting 😂
You come out with your whole body hurtingg off this one!!

My first real roller coaster ride 20 years ago. I’ll never forget the three loops.
i thought it was 5. i miss counted
It's 7
@@너구리-y8eThey mean 3 vertical loops
@@너구리-y8ethere are 7 inversions but only three loops
it's seven INVERISONS with three LOOPS.
this was my inroduction to roller coasters at 11 years old. i'll never forget it.
I heard they were changing the name of this coaster to The Mike Tyson Experience!
😂 lol
Naw ☠️
🤣🤣🤣👊👊👊
I wanted to laugh at your joke, but I punched out instead.
Naw they aren’t,stupid
I rode this in August 2021. Honestly, I didn’t think this ride was too bad. I was expecting it to be rather rough and terrible, but instead I found myself enjoying it. In fact, it brought back memories of riding Great American Scream Machine at Great Adventure, which I sorely miss.
I’m truly amazed at how this Arrow Mega-Looper managed to outlive Vortex, GASM, Shockwave, and even the ill-fated Drachen Fire. I’d honestly be shocked if it manages to outlive Darien Lake’s Viper as well as Fantasia Special (the Arrow Looper in South Korea that has a Triple-Corkscrew lol), although eventually at some point in the future this ride will be demolished and replaced with something brand new.
This ride is much smoother.
I’ve obviously never been on this ride, but I really hope they preserve it unlike the other Arrow 7-loop coasters. In my opinion, these rides should be built to last a lifetime, not a mere 20, 30 years. How could they favor some other kind of ride over a very classic, unique one like Viper?
The second loop and transitions in and out of the corkscrews are the only real rough parts. Especially in the back. Some new trains would rectify it tbh
2nd loop is especially rough bc it pulls like 6.5gs now lmao
@@MoneyMakeOnlineEasy yeah and there’s a kink at the top that provides a sudden snap
@@basictransportenthusiast4386 interesting i think Riddlers is one of the smoothest B&Ms ive ever ridden and probably my favorite overall layout. I like other B&Ms more as overall coasters including Tatsu, but Riddlers layout is elite.
@@MoneyMakeOnlineEasy if it wasn't for the nasty pothole at the bottom it would be great
This is a blessed ride. I took some friends and family on Viper who had never been to Six Flags before. None of them could understand why this ride gets hate. As for me, it's my favorite ride in the park. Hope they never get rid of it.
Get your rides in. This ride won’t last much longer, mark my words. It has very low ridership.
@@triple7marc In theory, I agree. But people have been saying this for years now.
@@Tshiknn Six Flags Magic Mountain is running out of room. Viper holds prime real estate at the front of the park. It’ll be gone soon, 100%. If they want to build a big new ride, that is where they will build it.
When i went on my head got slapped side to the side whole time it was painful 😢
@@strawkeys You have to sit in the front row of each car to avoid that. And hold on tight.
I sincerely hope Magic Mountain never removes this classic. Its the last one standing of the mighty Mega Loopers!! A classic all-American monster. if anything, once the track has reached the end of its service life, I hope they will perform some Phantom's Revenge style refurbishment onto this beast. Long live the last Mega Looper!!!
This was my first upside down roller coaster. Been hooked ever since ! Love ‘em
I rode it many years ago. It was a real head-banger then, side-to-side against the restraints. Would have been more fun without the pounding.
That's what she said!
Very true just rode it a few hours ago felt like a concession
Never rode this ride but every old Arrow looper I've been on has rough transitions.
@@Captain_Crayzay ur not funny kid
You just gotta pick one side to push your head against to level it out
Been coming to this park since 1993, two years after Viper opened. In the 1990s, it was the park's big ride and I yearned to be tall enough to ride it. When I finally was, in 1994, the wait was often more than an hour. Now you can walk on, but I still love it! I'll br gutted if they dismantle it, but a respectable renovation like they did with Colossus would be cool.
I remember they used to run 3 train operations and could dispatch fairly quickly. I also remember waiting an hour at least to sit in the front row. It was sad to see this amazing ride turn into a near walk on (at least it didn't give you a blown ear drum and a migraine like Cyclone did post Northridge).
Anyone else absolutely LOVE the sound of Arrow Dynamic's chain lifts?
Me 👋
Also I love the sound of B&M’s Floorless lifthills
Now THAT'S the true sound of a REAL AMERICAN rollercoaster...LONG LIVE ARROW DYNAMICS...LONG LIVE VIPER!!!
mechanical symphony
love it or hate it, its still a great coaster... just take your headache medicine afterwards
Lol you should of seen shockwave. Viper is a copy of it. It had to be closed down because it had the most accidents ever
@@ilikemymommy2391Shockwave was a beast and I always looked forward to the day I was big enough to ride it and have my first concussion.
That lift hill sound makes me miss Vortex at Kings Island, another Arrow Dynamics mega looper.
Call me OCD but damn, give the track a fresh coat of red paint. Faded colors on anything, especially coasters, bothers me! Lol
I like how the scream at 0:58 sounds like like any Roller Coaster Tycoon game.
I hope Viper stays for the long run. Super underrated.
I.hope.it.exists.at.least.for.100.years

Nah I hope they take it down that ride hurts so much I got neck pain because of it
I bashed my head against the terrible restraints so much that I was in tears at the end of it. Terrible ride
Right? One of my favourite coasters at the park
These people calling Viper rough are a bunch of pussies. It’s not even that bad.
RIP Shockwave and Great American Scream Machine. Stay put Viper! You are an original.
Lol
At 0:30 the cubby door closed by itself lol
A classic, but the most brutal ride, you will feel it afterwards
Great coaster. Rode it when it was young. The que ran under the large 180 degree curve supported by the approx 24 inch dia columns. As the trains would run through that curve, the track would defect and the columns would flex along with it. Went back a couple of years later, and diagonal tension struts had been added, anchored to a central footing as well as large connectors between the vertical columns. Good call. No more deflection, but less chance of fatigue cracking.
Found the engineer
Lmao just watching this video, I can feel my head banging against the head rest. Viper, for everyone who hasn’t had the (dis?)pleasure of riding it, is ROUGH!!!
I passed out on this ride on grade night, May 13, 2022. Hemet high. Good times.
I'm hoping this ride is at least still standing in 2024! I'm planning a California trip then, and Viper is on my bucketlist!
There's no doubt in my mind that it will. I hope they end up redoing the track instead of taking it down when six flags does get back to it though. But neither of those things will happen until many years from now.
On of my first coasters, I rode it in the mid 90s as a kid.
Was this somewhere around 1994, 1995 or 1996?
This is my favorite ride period. I once rode this three times back to back to back once in the front row, once in the middle once from the back. it was a slow day there. if you hold on you don't get banged around as much at least for me anyway. I mean yeah its fun throwing your hands up but I found holding on I guess if your strong enough it don't hurt as bad.
I hope they don't remove this ride this is history
Everyone complains about the punches recieved on this ride...they never this ride is fast af! once you know which turns give u the head bumps....you get to like it....TRUST ME...YOU'LL FEEL THE SPEED ON VIPER!
Did you know that the viper is the longest running coater at the park. It's been there since I was a kid back in late 80s early 90s. Crazy!
incorrect
@@jackgrimm203 yeah I know I forgot about the Colossus..
It’s goldrusher.
@@liammortensen4161 damn! 😂
@@liammortensen4161 Revolution is second-oldest, built to cash in on the Bicentennial hoopla in 1976. First modern vertical loop coaster. I like it better than Viper.
My daughter's first (real) rollercoaster😁 We quickly upgraded to X2 and Tatsu but this one was the first test to see if she was game.. She was!😅
This was the first roller coaster I've ever rode. I still remember hitting my head on the back really hard. Definitely try to keep your head held back if you don't want a concussion. 😭
This is the last remaining Arrow mega-looper. I could see it being removed for a giga if Six Flags wanted to go in that direction. Otherwise, I hope it stays around for many years to come as the last of its kind. You can see how Arrow improved their mega-looper design over the 3 that they built. Shockwave and Great American Scream Machine had short service lives, but they seem to have really figured it out by the time they built Viper. I think it's no coincidence that Viper has lasted so much longer. It has better pacing with fewer trims, doesn't stop on the MCBR, and is smoother. After Viper, Arrow went on to build Steel Phantom in 1991, and Drachen Fire in 1992, but unfortunately both were complete failures, with Steel Phantom being modified after only 10 years, and Drachen Fire just being scrapped. If Arrow had stuck to a layout closer to that of Viper, then I think they could've perfected it even more.
I think theyll pay homage to Viper w a hyper looper from Mack, B&M, or S&S when the time comes. At least 7 inversions.
They wouldn’t do it for a giga cuz they have Superman that’s above giga
@@therobloxions7242 Superman is a Strata Coaster. 415ft tower. Drop is only between 328 and 360ft i guess.
This rides beats my ass.
I remember banging my head on the sides, going through all the loops
ive always wondered what a hurricane feels like (jk this ride is fun u should ride it if u dont mind roughness)
My first coaster at the age of 10 in ‘95. My brother made me ride alone cuz he was with his gf they were 18 at the time. Never forgave em for it but it made me the man I am today 😂 great times! And a great introduction to roller coasters!
I haven’t been to Six Flags in forever!!!! 😻😻
Could you imagine the late Sir Sean Connery riding this coaster? That's what we almost got in the 2000 Clint Eastwood dramedy _Space Cowboys_ with Connery in the role of Team Daedalus engineer Jerry O'Neill before Donald Sutherland managed to win the part and get to ride Viper without breaking a sweat.
Sadly Viper is the last operational Arrow Mega Looper/7 inversion coaster left. All the other are gone now. And of the 3 Arrow loopers ive been on i cant decide between Loch Ness and Tennesee Tornado as my number 1.
Did you know this is mirror image version of a ride in Canadas wonderland that was used to film Final destination 3?
That ride is so intense sitting in the back
Facts. I hated it. I couldn't handle it. Messes me up inside just watching that first drop. My friends knew I was terrified and we sat in the back. Gforce and my guts are a bad time. The rest of the ride was fine after that drop.
I went yesterday with my friends, and there was no line at all around the time the park was supposed to close. We got on it 3 times, once in the front, once in the middle, and once in the back. Without a doubt, the back was the worst experience. That shit hurt like hell. The front hurt a lot too. The middle seemed to be the spot where it hurt the least
@@alexsolano27the first loop and double loop at the start were the only intense part of the ride, though the restraints hurt my neck a bit, the gray out i got was insane and i was pretty dizzy after
Really enjoyed your video!
Awesome coaster
This is THE MOST UNCOMFORTABLE RIDE IN THE HISTORY OF COASTERS.
JUST AN AWFUL EXPERIENCE
This ride's restraints dig into my shoulders, tip from someone who's 6'7", don't ride this if you're around 6'4" or higher.
I'm 5'7" and i have not rode it but it's in my bucket list
@@boltgaming248prepare for the first three loops 😂
@@kasiy2712 i'm 5'9" or something so i shouldn't have a problem
The Best Ride and the longest line when I went there last...1994
Totally Worth It.
I really hope I win the lottery. It would be my dream to open a amusment park just to house rare and unique rides that otherwise would be scrapped. I would purchase this from six flags, hire vekoma to re profile and retrack the entire ride to remove the rough trasitions. Would also have the old trains modified to be completely state of the art and use comfort collars instead of the standard arrow restraits. I would also try to have many unique new coasters as well but I would focus on saving old historically important rides for future generations to enjoy. I've had my eye on that old ba schiff wild mouse sitting in a abandond park for a while but it's hard to get in contact with the guy who owns it. Plus his uncle died falling off of it so idk if he would want to part with it bit it is the last ba schiff wildmouse in existence and I would love to fix it up maybe run it at fairs use the money to grow my ride collection.
Apparently this is the Roller Coaster that was on Final Destination 3
Still like this coaster. I does matter where you sit if you get banged around. I ride in the front row and I swear I got whip lash. Not really but it was kinda hurky jerky up there. The corkscrews are the worst at the end for me. Overall it’s a fun experience. But I walk away a bit dizzy and need time to recover.
It's different from on a camera and actually ridding it
this ride made me think I was going to break my neck 💀
Great ride, everyone claims it's rough but it seems pretty smooth to me.
It was rough. I went today after 11 years and holy hell I forgot how crazy and violent it was 😂
You aren’t real
Every time I rode Viper it wasn't as rough as people say it is (nowhere near as smooth as Scream, which is a similar ride with many loops and made by a company known for smooth coasters, but not a pain machine either). The second half of the ride can be rough if you're not riding it correctly (the first half you can tell it's an old coaster but it's not bad at all), but it wasn't anywhere near as bad as Revolution with the shoulder restraints (a LOT of head and ear banging no matter how you rode it).
Viper is so violent. In a good way 😂
Had my back and neck hurting afterwards😂
I rode this before since 2012 on our Vacation in California.
That looks fun
It’s not suprising to me that the wait time for this ride is usually 10-5 minutes, considering that the actual experience is kind of painful. Nevertheless, not once did I actually regret going on the ride.
I thought there was a shooting going on but it was just the chainlift.
Oh wow! I totally forgot about Viper… I just went to M M and I didn’t ride my viper! This ride thought me not to be afraid of roller coasters 🎢 so much fun!
I’m at six flags right now should I go on it
Legendary. I mean Legendary ride, I hope that epic snake stands forever. Last of the Arrow Mega Loopers. Rode it in 97 when that paint was still fresh…
This ride hurts. The only reason u want to go on this is to see the best views of x2
Nice classic
Fun fact: This coaster was featured in the 1993 movie "True Romance," written by Quentin Tarantino, directed by Tony Scott. Filmed from the perspective of being on the coaster itself, and from the ground. Nothing like negotiating a massive coke deal while riding the Viper. 🤣
It's a great coaster but it's painful
unless ur tall af
The paint is just like the ride itself. OUTDATED.
I always consider this the Warm-Up Ride as it’s the first one I go to as it’s by the Entrance.

alright boys when we all die the first thing we do is all jump who ever made this ride
Any think like Nija?
I hear this ride makes you gray out. But most people have really bad habits of being dehydrated at an amusement park because drinks are so expensive. I have the same habit. But my next visit I'm going to drink and eat more
Looks like the final destination coaster

It is, viper was in final destination.
@@jeremyreese9663 Nope, it was Corkscrew, located at Playland PNE Vancouver, in Canada.
@@jeremyreese9663 no corkscrew at playland in Canada
Do y’all get that butterfly feeling because like it’s going to be my first time getting on this ride help!
Viper is an Arrow Dynamics coaster so each one has the signature intense ejector air time feeling on the first drop. Yes, you will experience the “feeling” and it may be mildly painful from how intense it is. You will feel your organs distinctly moving up while your body is being pulled down.
no stomach dropping on this ride, thats only for those steep drops but the first three loops are definitely high in g force so prep for those
I can’t believe they took out great American scream machine In 2010 and viper is still operating today In 2022
the great american scream machine should've stayed longer to get new trains
They really need to change the restraints on this ride.
Riding for the first time in 10 years next month, can't wait
how was it?
She’s a legend, a mainstay, her time is coming to an end most likely, if Six Flags has any money left which is looking like they don’t. A Giga B&M should take its place under the same name…
Banged my head up every time I rode it. Though if you put your hands in the right place on the shoulder restraints, it'll cushion the blows. Gnarly butterfly loop, so bumpy. Yhe view from the top of the hill is pretty great though.
There's test paint on one of viper's support
No, there wasn't an earthquake happening during filming, it's just that rough.
Went on this in 2004 gave me banging headache
something about aarow mega loopers feels so classic and american
I. Never. Been. On. Viper. Do. U. Recommended.
YES. its rough but just lean your head towards where the ride is going and you’ll be fine. this ride is CRAZY forceful and overall really fun. those first inversions almost made me grey out from the intensity and it whips you right out of your seat. the only thing holding this back is how rough it is. but i definitely recommend riding this
@@yolekzalmost? i grayed out until the mid course brake run and was dizzy after 😭 i was in the furthest back seat tho so maybe it was worse from that
I love this ride, and I usually get to ride it like 4 times cus the lines are always short, since nobody wants to ride this. And the train is really long so you get through a lot of people.
I don't really get why people hate this ride. It's actually a really good if you delete your expectations even with expectations, I still think it's really good
My favorite head banger 🙌🏽
I really miss the great American scream machine great adventure in New Jersey. Yes it was rough and certainly not as thrilling as some of the newer coasters but there was something special about it.
This ride makes me feel dizzy and it is too intense to me because of 7 inversions
Six flags is the only thing I miss from California.
I know a lot of people hate on this roller coaster, but l didn't mind it, even despite it being a bit of a rough ride.
I love this omg I wanna go so bad
Literally coming out of the viper I had a horrible headache because you hit your head during the attraction but its fun
It looks like a cool ride, but seems to be a rough one by the way the camera is jolted violently.
Have no idea the pine trees smell wonderful to nature guy. It’s more peaceful.
me and my cousin rode this yesterday it’s fun but really rough probably wouldn’t go on it again almost got a concussion
The guy walking out of the coaster car walks like he shit shorts and I don’t blame him that looks rank
This roller coaster is in space cowboys
You definitely lose some brain functionality after a ride of this
