Did anyone relize that this year is vipers 10th season. I was just surprised because none of you guys said anything about it and since a lot of you guys like viper. Viper opened on April 30th 10 years ago. Happy 10th Birthday Viper!

It's amazing that IW is 15 years old. I don't think of it as being that old. I also don't think of SSA being 11 years old or BTR being 13 years old. The moral of the story is that time goes fast! Speaking of time, only 13 hours left!!

Whizzer is 29 years old!!! That's pretty good for a steel coaster. And it's still one of the smoothest coasters in the park!

Anyways, Happy B-Day Viper!!! :)
Finally Coaster Season!!

Happy Birthday or as Dejavu says "Feliz Cumpleanos A Ti" LOL. I will make it a priority to get on that ride sometime in the day. Give it a happy b-day kiss LOL. They should put the cars backwards lol that would be cool. Although that is pretty much Eagle's trademark. But anyways I am just rambling on..its because it is so close to opening day I am chomping at the bit to get there and all I have talked about all day was Great America.

Its crazy I can't stop thinkiin bout it. I put a dollar in a claw machine at the mall to win somethin for my GF and it clicked and "We Like To Party" came on...I swear its like torture!

Viper got individual seat belts this year for anyone who didn't go to the park. I think that it was running alot better this year in terms of air time.

I think the reason for that is because Viper's lap bars don't get locked in as good as AE's do. On Viper my friend was able to push his lap bar as far as it could go and it was only a 2 click ride.

Yeah, while waiting for Viper in the morning, the seatbelts looked new. I was thinking why the heck do they look newer than they did last year. I got on realizing there were individual seatbelts.

Actually yesterday the lap bars clicked much more than they did last year, might have been coincidence but I dunno.
