Viper for sure but I still like AE a lot too. Viper is just more exciting going through and around the body of the coaster.

Viper. Some awesome airtime on those hills!

Viper. Better airtime. Faster (at least it feels like it on the final third).

EDIT: Actually, I think American Eagle does feel faster, except for the helix.

I like them both! Viper does give you more airtime but the legendary first drop on the Eagle is unforgettable. And the bunny hops which connect the drop and the helix makes you feel like you're an eagle. It's a classic. I like the Eagle a little better because it loads twice as fast as the Viper.

Actually the wooden coaster I like the best nowadays is The Boss over in Six Flags St. Louis. Sorry to get off topic.
R.I.P. Splashwater Falls and Space Shuttle America. Deja Vu, enjoy Idaho.

Most definitely VIPER!!!
Has great airtime and more intense than AE. A excellant and under-rated coaster.

Jeff already started a topic about this two months ago http://www.sfgamworld.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=4286.


But anyway I will post. Viper. AE is rickety and it doesn't give you enough air time.

Viper, no doubt about it.
I'm running to Bull on opening day, anyone gets in my way and they'll get trampled.

Yeah, it feels faster to me. But the helix is really slow, it seems like you just creep around.
