About

The story

Viper is a steel roller coaster located in the Baja Ridge area of Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, California, United States. Manufactured by Arrow Dynamics, it opened in 1990 and is the last remaining Arrow coaster to feature seven inversions following the removal of Shockwave at Six Flags Great America and the Great American Scream Machine at Six Flags Great Adventure. Viper was built on the former site of a HUSS tower ride type named Condor.
