Viper • Six Flags Darien Lake

First Drop Inversions Dead spots

This ride is pretty underrated by most. It’s definitely one of the best rides at Darien lake. Only negative about it is the break run about halfway through that brings the train to a crawl before going into some of the later elements.

That first drop in the back row is insane...... It legit tries to kill you. The inversions are fun, especially the batwing, it's intense. It is a better arrow looper, def the higher tier of arrow loopers

Fun Intensity Ejectors Discomfort

This whole ride is amazing. the ejector on the drop is awesome and the batwing and loop have amazing forces. the corkscrews have float and laterals and the helix thats underground is fun and a suprise. i was expecting a rattle but the ride is very smooth. there is a few bad transitions, mostly the one into the batwing but overall a fun ride!

First Drop Inversions Intensity

Very underrated coaster. Sit in the back and you will get insane ejector on the first drop. The vertical loop gives great positives and the batwing gives great whip going into it followed by crushing positives. The corkscrews can either give amazing hang time if running slow or they give some positives and this very weird sensation that’s hard to describe if running fast. The final helix also gives some solid positives. If the ride is running really fast you can even get airtime coming into the MCBR and final brake run. The ride is also butter smooth with only 1 or 2 awkward transitions. This ride is an absolute hidden gem.

One of the better Arrow loopers. Smooth, intense, and the only reason I'd consider returning to Darien Lake.

Please stay with us Viper! Don't leave us, we need you!!!... Viper's a great ride and I'd hate to see this thing go any time soon. It's at my home park, which I'm thankful for. You get HARD ejector towards the back on the first drop. It's incredibly dangerous feeling, it's awesome. And the inversions are fun, the best one being the Corkscrew. The helix is intense and you get flashed by the cameras while you enter the tunnel for an awesome experience.

Inversions Location Layout

Viper is one of my favorite Arrow coasters. It's relatively smooth, well paced, and the plot of land it sits on is pretty. The inversions are great, the final helix is excellent, and the coaster feels like a classic. I do hope this ride sticks around.
