Viper is a steel roller coaster located in the Baja Ridge area of Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, California. Viper is the last operating roller coaster with seven inversions to be built by American manufacturer Arrow Dynamics. The other two, Shockwave at Six Flags Great America and the Great American Scream Machine at Six Flags Great Adventure, were demolished in 2002 and 2010, respectively. The roller coaster replaced a HUSS ride type named Condor.
In August 2018, Viper closed for an extended refurbishment. On December 22, 2018, Viper re-opened to the public.
Upon exiting the station, the train immediately begins climbing the 188-foot (57 m) lift hill. At the top, the train curves into the 171-foot (52 m) drop and enters a 140-foot (43 m) tall vertical loop. The train then makes a sharp left, entering two vertical loops and climbing into the mid-course brake run, followed by a zig-zag into a Boomerang element, where it goes through a half-corkscrew followed by a half loop. Next, the train goes up into another half loop and half corkscrew so that it returns in the opposite direction. Riders are photographed by an on-ride camera in the middle of this element. Riders then make a right turn and immediately enter a corkscrew which inverts riders twice. The ride leads into a flat section of track followed by and s-curve drop and rise into the final brake run before turning into the station.

One of the best coasters in the park a legend
No
ゴライアス怖かった
I am legitimately surprised that this hasn't received the Coaster Landmark award by ACE.
It deserves it
This ride is defiantly underappreciated
Brock Drozeski it is! Night rides on this are awesome
Love that pull over the lift hill and off the mcbr. Came wait to got this park for the first time over the summer
Six Flags needs to repaint the Viper tracks
Fong Productions Exactly, and get some new vest restraints trains.
My 1st time riding this in the, I don't know, around the time it 1st opened. My Dad is an engineer, very mathy & as we're going up the hill, he looks to the left & says 'that loop doesn't look safe'. effin' freaked me out, like, really? You're telling me this now? Too many loops though, I can't handle this ride. I like Revolution when ya just had the lap bar.
Thanks for the back seat view! I'm tired of watching other coaster videos from front seat only.
Opened in 1990. And the big snake still stands strong and proud
I visited this park for my third time the day after this was filmed. Glad I got to visit and ride this in time before the park closed down due to Covid.
fav ride in the park!
This coaster is a masterpiece and is one of the best coasters in the park there's been talk of removing it the last few years I honestly hope that does not happen they have this perfect Arrow coaster and a great Schwarzkopf the revolution
Yessir, and I love them both dearly.
Only thing that'll make Viper a whole lot better is new trains and a fresh paint job, just like Revolution, and it's still a winner in my coaster book!!
Very Impressive! 👍
I really hope I get to ride this. My favorite seat on Vortex was 7-1. 7-1 on Viper looks sooooo fun (and intense!), perhaps even more so than Vortex!
Rode 7-1 and 2-1 as per suggestion of others, and I actually found 2-1 to be a bit better. Smoother and more forceful! But the drop is definitely sublime in 7-1!
This blows vortex out of the water.
if you still haven’t, id recommend it especially in the back
update: I finally got to ride Viper back in August! It was relentlessly intense! I thought this would be a bigger Vortex, but it proved me wrong 😅 Viper is a beast and I’m so glad I finally got to ride it, including in 1-1 and 7-1! I didn’t get 2-1 but I rode in 2-2.
This video is top 100% good roller coaster are good and great to ride
All I was thinking was scream machine it reminded me of it if so this ride is tough on the body
Everyone gangsta till after the chainlift
❤👍
This is better in the front 2 rows of seats not the back, speaking from experience. 😁
Oh it is? i’ve had some pretty good rides in the back
Are dispatches slow for this ride? Also, how long is the average wait time for it?
the wait for this ride is less than 5 minutes. often times i didn’t even need to stand in line cus no one would be in line to take my place💀. that’s how hated it is
it has 30 min wait time AT MOST but most of the time it’s only 5 to 10 mins. but if you’re lucky you can walk right in which means you can board instantly.
I never been on fiber do you guys recommend it
Yes, fiber is really good for you.
Here after seeing it on Lucifer season 3 ep. 25
lat time I rode this it was incredibly rough.........can't tell if they have refurbished it on not
They did recently
This ride is ROUGH. I refuse to get on it... last time I rode it I had such bad back and neck pain
Kait Cattt Oh it’s not that rough, never got one bad ride on Viper, you all are disrespectful to Arrow Dynamics.
Is this ride really as rough as people say it is?
Malik Nelson Not in my opinion
There was only one bad transition that I found when I rode it
Other than that, it’s a superb coaster
Been there for several years... Shat a great coaster ride ❤️
Absolutely. In my experience, those who say it isnt are usually tall, so they dont get their heads slammed into the rest lol. If you look at reviews, 90% of them talk about how painful this ride is. Magic mountain has FAR better coasters that wont hurt you, so this is the one ride I skip.
I have no idea why so many people have a boner over this ride lol. I wish theyd replace it or re-track it.
@@mooncow-io really? I rode it several years before, but it was okay. Sure today coasters are more smooth, but for a real Rollercoaster fan it's a big ride 😍
To me no. It's My favorite in the park
Front row is the worst row in this ride doesn't matter what row its still headbanging any row but front row is the most painful
get a stronger neck
OK, time to lay down the law on all of you so-called experts or know-not-much types (i.e. GENERAL PUBLIC). Viper is old. Any old ride be it steel or wood is going to give you similar experiences, that comes with the territory.
Granted, I haven't had any issues with Viper all the times I've rode it, I have found it to be enjoyable, at times. Only a bit of dizziness here and there because of the forces and all, nothing much.
That said, slow it down (the criticism, not the ride, lol), MMMMMMMMKAY
Manhattan Express is better
Ahhhhhh! Please keep away from viper!
Whenever the first words out of someone's mouth after riding any ride is about how much it made their head hurt, then you know that the time is up for said ride. C'mon, SFMM. Time to finally get rid of Viper, the same way that SFGA got rid of The Great American Scream Machine.
Bob Schneider All they need to do is give it the Vekoma trains like on Blue Hawk at Six Flags Over Georgia and maybe some track work and it’ll be a very good coaster
I think it’s a good coaster how it is personally
There is nothing wrong with Viper!!! One of the best coasters at Magic Mountain!!!
SFGA did not get rid of it. Rode it today. I basically need a chiropractic adjustment now. Roughest ride I've EVER been on
@@susul2843 wait whattt
Whoever designed this peice of shit needs to be fired. this ride is incredibly painful, to the point where u can genuinely really injure yourself on it
This is an OLD Arrow. Would you say the same thing about Ninja? Gold Rusher? Or what about another old big-sized Arrow, Magnum XL-200 at Cedar Point (yep...the world's first hyper)? Many like you would say the same about all the smaller Arrows that still stand and operate. These rides were built using the basic technology that existed at the time, not EVERY coaster you may take a liking to has to be a Beemer or an Intamin (well, at least the ones that don't break down spontaneously!). So chill out some! 💯
Waaaa, i'm so weak I can't hold myself upright, waa waaa waaa
@@tbx59 I know, right
