Probably the best ride in the park now that Raging Bull has been trimmed to death. Very smooth with a few abrupt airtime moments.

Viper is by far the best of the Cyclone-Clones... I liked it more then even the Coney Island Cyclone!.... The air time is great and the way they "updated" parts of the ride... its so much better then the others.

The only "cyclone" I've ridden and for being built by the park, it was great! 3 nice spots of airtime; the double down, hill after, and the last hill. Comfortable PTC trains with no stapling! #2 on my woodie list.

Easily the 2nd best wooden coaster I have ever been on!!! It has amazing airtime, no roughness whatsoever, and a layout and ride experience that makes you want to never leave!!

This coaster was fantastic! I would normally consider a woodie this smooth to be a bit of a snooze because I like rides that beat you up a little bit, but the air was wonderful, and the pacing was superb. I only wish Psyclone was as good as this version. Seriously, if you have ridden a Cyclone clone, you cannot miss this one. It is in my top five woodies for sure.
