This is one serious coaster, that doesn't
get recognized as much as it should. Think about it, a 180 foot
drop coaster in 1990; 7 inversion including a raised loop, this
is an extremely advanced coaster, even in todays time! The line
is usually fairly short and gives a nice ride on the giant hill
top that it lays. You hit a huge drop then go through an endless
amount of inversions, then back in. Themeing could use more,
but with the palm trees and sandy surroundings, it does give
an excellent "viper" kind of feel. Overall, an excellent
ride that medium to extreme riders should ride.
