Viper in the Top Ten!!

[monsterfan99]

^I agree 100% with the last part. It is amazing how smooth the ride is and perfect for just about anyone.

You know something, if Viper were a little bigger, and a little faster, I think it could really win #1 in my heart. But it is a very close #3. (:

Maybe they could replace the lift hill motor while they are at it too.

AGREED! You can have a nice gossip over the top of the lift...

I think this should call for a very nice Viper rehab? Something like, complete re tracking? That would be phenomenal. Even though, it really doesn't need it at all.

What are you talking about? The ride is like one of the smoothest wooden roller coasters I've ever been on. It's so smooth that I just don't care for it anymore.

In these polls, there are just some coasters that are never going to be on top of the list because of the type of coasters they are. You say one train coaster, and enthusiasts are going to rank it down no matter what because it's not a full circuit such as Deja Vu, Invertigo, Mr. Freeze, V2, and what not. I would rather see a poll based on type to tell you the truth because a ride like Riddler's Revenge doesn't have chance to be up in the poll because it's a standup coaster. You notice what's near the top, and a lot of it are the rides with airtime like the Mega Coasters, Giga Coasters, and whatnot. To me, I guess I'm more of an inversion person than a non-inversion person.

Except after it rains and the coaster sounds like a dying cat.

It can be a little bumpy in the back, maybe that's just cause I rode it a bunch a times in a row in the back lol

[tribar]

Viper seems to go faster after it rains but that could have been because i was in the back

[ragingbull1331]

when I rode it in june, it was after a rain storm and I remember it being sort of bumpy

[tribar]

I don't remember it being bumpy but i remember it screeching

[ragingbull1331]

The brakes are screechy at the end of the ride.

[david]

When it's humid, or rainy, the wood sort of expands, and will cause the wheels to screech, and the ride will in turn be a bit more bumpy.

The brakes are screechy at the end of the ride.

No pretty much the whole time it was like that

[SFGAm Viper]

Anyone who thinks Viper is rough and needs retracking surely hasn't ridden any other wood coasters outside SFGAm. Go ride Zeus and tell me Viper needs work! lol

[ragingbull1331]

Cedar Point's wooden coaster lineup is not very good. Mean Streak is the worst wooden roller coaster i've been on and Gemini's final helix is very rough! Those are some rides that need to be retracked! Viper is very smooth and Eagle is a fun ride with a few bumps here and there.

[Ilovthevu']

^Gemini is a wooden structure, but it's really a steel roller coaster. I really like that helix.

[ragingbull1331]

I forgot that it was a hybrid roller coaster, I like Gemini because it's always a walk on and it has some good air time.

[tribar]

im not saying either for woodies are rough I know theres worse out there

[BLADE]

Blue Streak at Cedar Point is a good solid woodie. Relatively smooth, good air, and rerideable, except after eating. I tried that once. Not good.

[ragingbull1331]

I forgot about blue streak (facepalm) I rode that two years ago but this years trip i decided not to go on it. I liked that ride actually, I know people don't like it, but I did.

[tribar]

Blue Streak looks fun i'll ride it when I go to Cedar Point

[MForce4ever]

Well at least we know this ranking wasn't subjective

[Necropolis]

You know something, if Viper were a little bigger, and a little faster, I think it could really win #1 in my heart. But it is a very close #3. (:

Fiiiinalllly! A post I agree with you on. Yes! Viper is so compact and slower than American Eagle. Its not #3 for me, but would def been higher on my list if that were the case.

[tribar]

Sometimes it's fun most non back row times it's not
