Viper @ SFGAdv. offically gone!

Dannerman: That B&M Tech was probally just telling you what you wanted to hear for his own amusement.
I doubt he even knows.

The park had a Giovanola Stand-up called Shockwave that went around the country as part of the RIDE ROTATION PROGRAM™, perhaps they felt that they didn't have the need for one again.

Stand-ups are sooo 90's anyway ;)

I gotta weigh in with kRaXLeRidAh on the launched standup idea. Even sitting down, you get that initial sorta 'ook' sensation with that first push. Action = equal and opposite reaction. And a good strong hydraulic or air launch? Fuggedaboutit.

And let's not even bring up the knee traumas suffered by the growing number of obese folk in America. It's pre-existing condition city.

NOTE: Severe fecal impaction may render the above words highly debatable.

Yeah they won't be getting a stand up at all when the last one built was Scorcher @ SFOG in 99,not to mention a planned stand up for a certain SF park that never got built a few years back.

Viper is a piece of crap, but everytime I was there and it was running I took a lap. Last season I even took 2 laps on the same visit. ;)

A drop tower im sure may be next, atleast one with sheer size.
