You feel like you're going to fall out when going throught the corkscrews. Other than that, the ride rockszers!

It's one of my favorite looping roller coasters.

I thought this ride was going to hurt, and it did, but it still is a great looping coaster.

This is my all time favorite looper! Totally fun and wild as soon as you leave the lift. I like Arrow's tight loops way up in the air. The ride really is not too rough for an Arrow, especially for one of this size and speed. The trims after the butterfly seem, to work differently every time though. I've had them let the train fly, and I've had them cause a lot of hangtime on the screws. Still, just a fantastic ride. The look of it standing on the hill in the back corner of the park is one of the most impressive sights I've ever seen in a park skyline. I'll never forget the first time I saw it. It didn't even look like it could be real to me.

I don't know where to start about this thing. I used to hate it because when I rode it as a small kid, I was short so my head would be in between the harness and I would get the most painful headbanging, and would come off with a throbbing headache. Now that I'm 20 and a strapping 5'10" :), I don't get headbanging and I can truly appreciate Viper for the spectacular ride that it is. It is extremely intense and well paced --- with (surprisingly) airtime in some spots (like the pop of air going into the mid-course blocks) and the incredible "floating out of your seat" sensation in the double corkcrew. And that first drop. Killer. So tall, so steeply banked and so fast. Definitey the best traditional looping coaster I've ridden.

Another coaster that has gotten worse with trim brakes. Although, it still is very good. This used to be my favorite coaster at SFMM. I really like the high loops and the corkscrew.

This is by far the best corkscrew coaster i have ever been on! it is totally amazing and the height of it is pretty sweet. it is showing it's age a little bit but it still is a really cool coaster.

A massively tall coaster that ends up being decently tame. Still a great coaster by all accounts.

Hurt like Hell! Too much hype on this coaster. It was O.K., but not really that much better than Shockwave from SFGAmerica, Gurnee

This ride hurts, but I still had to ride it.
