Viper (Six Flags Magic Mountain)
Viper is a steel roller coaster made by Arrow Dynamics of the United States. The roller coaster is located in the Baja Ridge area of Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, California. Viper is the last of the three 7-looper roller coasters built by Arrow Dynamics to remain operating. The other two, Shockwave at Six Flags Great America and the Great American Scream Machine at Six Flags Great Adventure, were demolished in 2002 and 2010, respectively. The roller coaster replaced a HUSS ride type named Condor.
==Record holding==
When Viper opened in April 1990, it was the tallest and fastest looping coaster in the world. However, it was eclipsed by the opening of the Steel Phantom roller coaster at Kennywood in May 1991, which had a top speed of . Viper would appear to almost beat the current record for world's tallest 360-degree loop at . Technically though, it is a standard size loop of which the top is at . Arrow Dynamics never changed the size of their vertical loops, only the height at which they start. The current world record holder for the tallest vertical loop is held by Full Throttle, also at Six Flags Magic Mountain, at a height of ; it opened to the public on June 22, 2013.
Viper remained the tallest looping coaster in the world until the opening of Alpengeist in 1997. When Steel Phantom was modified in 2001 to become Phantom's Revenge and it lost its inversions, Viper recaptured the title of one of the fastest multi-looper coasters in the world, tying with Superman Krypton Coaster which opened at Six Flags Fiesta Texas in 2000. Both have a top speed of .
It was only when Storm Runner opened in 2004 at Hersheypark, with a top speed of , that Viper once again lost the title of fastest multi-looping coaster. Viper however, is taller than both Storm Runner () and Superman Krypton Coaster () with a height of , which then made it the third tallest complete-circuit, multi-looping in the world, behind Alpengeist and Griffon, both at Busch Gardens Williamsburg. It could be argued that when the Vekoma Giant Inverted Boomerang coasters opened in 2001, they were, at , taller than Viper; however, since they are shuttle coasters, not every vehicle of the train reaches that height.
