Out of many visits to SFGAd in the last 2 years I have only seen Viper run once, and that was during the Coaster Celebration. On behind the scenes tour they explained many of the maintenance troubles it has. MAN, that ride just sounds like it's awful to keep operable.
I wish they could get trains for it that make solid contact with the track (ala B&M and Intamin) and had a better restraint system.
It was weird, I had never seen ERT when 1500 coaster freaks were present, and only 3 or 4 people riding that coasster!
I never want to see a coaster be removed, but I didn't cry when Windjammer was closed, and I won't cry when this one goes to coaster heaven. (Whenever that might be)
