A very simple and beginners upside-down coaster. It is always fun, but nothing close to a competitive, serious coaster in todays time. You will wanna ride this coaster a lot though, especially because there is usually litterally no line; you can get right on! You do have to keep in mind though, that this is one of the oldest steel loopers, so it was still in an experimenation stage and designers had to keep g's to a minimum. One other consern is that it would of been nice to take advantage of the "Viper" themeing and really exadurate it throughout the ride. Overall, the ride is a classic and one you will want to ride over and over, but comparison wise, it is nothing to give you the shivers or a screech.

Rating : 6.0 / 10
