This infamous steel coaster was the first in the world to turn riders upside down five times. Beginning with a speedy four-second, 75-foot drop, each passenger experiences a 360-degree loop, double corkscrew and boomerang curve at speeds up to 50 mph. The Viper opened in 1982 and was the first coaster built at the park.
