Viper POV 5K UNDERRATED WOODEN COASTER Six Flags Great America Gurnee, IL 

One of the best rides in the park one of the best Woody’s I’ve ever been on. It has crazy airtime. After that second turn that double down is unique to this ride not on the original cyclone. It rode a little slower and more rough when I did it more recently but it was flying in the past. It’s super awesome and I used to go to this park a couple days a week when I was in middle school and high school and it took me a while to really stumble upon it and appreciate it. I used to go on everything else all the steel coasters all the time. And then I discovered how amazing viper was and I would just love to go on it every day in the back row

This is one of my favorite roller coasters of all times. I know it may not be as tall or fast or have all the bells and whistles of other coasters but it's pure fun. I laugh through the whole ride. Love it so much!!

I just went on this ride yesterday and it was a blast! I was terrified because I don’t like big drops but the drops are so thrilling! You will def feel the drops but not in a uncomfortable way. The airtime is also insane!

Damn, that airtime looks insane!

the air time you get on this ride is insane, you feel like you’re floating. plus, it’s not too short of a ride!

First real rollercoaster I ever went on! Great wooden coaster.

This ride was a BLAST. Such a pleasant surprise.

I went on this ride at 11am and the line was only 5 minutes long! Definitely one of the best rides at six flags

Woohoo! My favorite ride! Love wooden coasters. Sadly, American Eagle was closed the day I went but I remember it being lots of fun years ago.

As a person that lives 7 minutes away from it, trust me on video it doesnt look bad but its hella bumpy and fast when you’re on it 😂

This is hands down my favorite roller coaster of all time.

One of my first roller coasters! I’ve been in love with them ever since I rode this when I was 8.

Awesome video. Thank you.

Gotta love those woodies that throw ya around! ❤

I’ll always remember being like 10 and with my father when this ride first opened. It opened with only 1 train , took about 3 hours but it was worth it. Now I’m 42 and I still see the chain lift hangs you there for a few. Best seat is the back , just like the American Eagle , back seat , RED train.

I’ve been on it yesterday and it was my favorite out of every ride.

Best coaster in the park. Its the only one i ride twice whenever i go. Never get tired of how long the ride time is, you really can't tell how long it is looking at it from afar.

The underrated airtime is WILD

the front row airtime is mind boggling its not stomach dropping feeling airtime but where you at levitating out if you seat ever single time, it feels dangerous and the laterals are phenomenal

I love the viper, I haven't been to Great American years,

Went here around memorial day. I was quite surprised. The second hill however had massive jackhammer but the rest was such a surprise. I just wish it banked a bit more

Airtime on this thing is so good... I wish someone warned me about the crazy rough bump on the drop cuz it ended up hurting my back but still this coaster is VERY underrated.

We used to have this Cony Island Cyclone replicated woodie at SFOG before RMC gave it the RMC treatment in 2018.

I went to that ride and it was so fun you should definitely try it

That ride is so fun, and the line usually isn’t too bad. The kids want the “new” faster rides. I like that is really loud, and kinda weathered.

It crawled over the lift hill and still had all that speed 🤯🤯🤯

I like this coaster especially because I went on it a day before this video has posted

Ride this with my brother in 2003 for the first time. Every drop made my stomach drop. Nowadays it doesn’t have that affect on me anymore..

He went from Human to Hulk really quick 🤣🤣

Watched this before going on, my stomach felt like a washing machine after 😔

Viper and Ga Cyclone, back row/car were the best. And great clones of the original CI Cyclone

I remember riding it when I was little and I just kept flying out of my seat. The airtime was just violent

Don't know what it is, but it feels like it is hauling this year compared to the last few years

Ive never laughed harder 😂1:07

this ride has force, but the park offers a lot of better g force, tight turn, and airtime drops. ik its a wood coaster, but it felt really off. almost unsafe LMAO, but it was fun, went on 2 weeks ago.

After the 1st Drop @1:07 This year there is a Crazy rough Bump! not sure what it is but a lot of people ive talk have also felt it. Love this ride

I got to ride this in 07, is it a clone of Cyclone? Hope you’re doing really well Samson!

looks tamer than the viper at magic mountain xD

Looks like it's also as rough as the Coney Island ride lol

This and the former (at least, the original form) Georgia Cyclone has the same layout, it looks as if... My home Six Flags park, Six Flags Magic Mountain, had a similar ride with a mirrored layout (Psyclone) that was practically flawed from its opening in 1991 due to the weight of its trains (which were built by B&M using technology intended for heavier STEEL COASTERS, basically 🤦), and then this ride would be left damaged for much of its existence by the infamous 1994 Northridge earthquake (its structural integrity would be gravely impacted). That ride, mercifully, was torn down in 2007 alongside another coaster that has ties to Six Flags Great America, actually...

The Cyclone of Illinois

This is the only six flags , one hour away from me

Wassup East Coasters! Have you ever been to New Hampshire's Canobie Lake Park? I'm planning to go there in about a week, and I couldn't find any good POV's of it! You have been able to create the best rollercoaster POV's around the East Coast from Cedar Point to Six Flags Great Adventure! I hope you can visit Canobie Lake park soon! Anyways, have a great day!

Love it but 2 parts after hills literally busted a vertebrae

Road it yesterday. Love it BUT mark 1:13 i specifically heard a loud pop and it felt like the wheels or whatever they are called, ran over something

It doesn't look like much from the outside, but I assure you, this coaster is INTENSE.

Back row is so painful tho 😭

Reminds me of comet almost

Why canf I put it at 1080

Did they ever fix the chain at the top ? Ever since it opened it would just hang there.

Fun fact, Six Flags built and designed Viper by themselves, no outside help or coaster designer.

It is a great ride. I suppose you could say it is a Coney Island "style" coaster, but if you want the true mind-melt experience of a ride that your brain can't process, you have to do the Cyclone at least once in your life.

This ride was a little scary but at least i tired that ride earlier today

It’s quick and not that tall so big surprise. Rmc nice but won’t happen since they have Goliath and eagle needs update

Viper reminds me of coasters like Wilde Beast at Canada's Wonderland or Apocalypse at SFMM, forgotten in the dark woodies that aren't at all talked about, not univerally liked or even universally hated, just kinda non memorable I suppose. Don't see very much about those.

I Personally Think Viper Should Be RMC'D. It looks rough, And An RMC Viper Could Solve THAT Problem.

Yo the airtime looks great! I’m not gonna lie though, this would be a great conversion into an RMC hybrid!

This ride is straight up painful. This needs an RMC redo because the curves messes up your back

I sometimes prefer this to Bull, or even Goliath

Sounds really rough

bro i lost my voice on this

I got a headache from this ride.

I wish RMC gives this one a killer makeover.

Tall people beware of this ride

I. Sorry but i HATED this ride because it wasn't as smooth as x flight

Ride sucks.
