Viper not in Sixflags Greatadventure (RCT version)

I was looking at some screen shots at www.gadv.com ,and they had some new ones of Sixflags GreatAdventure, and Viper is not next to Rollingthunder,and why is Medusa Yellow? anyway I think it looks really bad,but I noticed that Viper is not there, Maybe SFGAdv asked Chris Sawyer not to put it in the game? I know it is just a game,but you would think they could have done a little bit more with the park, maybe they just want to leave somthing for the player to do. However Im happy to see my homepark in the game, its great. (maybe this may give a clue that Viper wont be there next season?)

4 things

1st maybe an inline twist is not going to be available in the corkscrew(closest to Viper's style of track) in the new game as it wasn't in the old game or he didn't create those rings that are on the ride or it may not be an entirely accurate recreation and viper is there just not visible in the screen shot

2nd doesnt the dive loop look like crap I'm glad we are getting it but wouldnt a large half corkscrew into a large half loop look more accurate

3rd check out the screen shot of Skull Mountain that's a new type of skull in the theming and it also proves that we now have waterfall theming

4th what ride is where the swinging ship is in the Skull Mountain screen shot? Is it really a swinging ship or is that old ride from the original RCT substituting for a ride we wont be getting in the new game?

I see what your saying and I questioned that theory. Viper starts at the mid section of Rolling Thunder's lift. I think it's gone for a reason but we won't find out until next season...or next week when I go there and ask..... ALSO......MEDUSA IS FRIGGIN YELLOW!!!!! What the hell is up with that! That's not acceptable; these are freakin recreation by so called professionals! RCT has the lime green, where do they come off with yellow!

John, That flat ride is supposed to be the Buccaner but that ride isn't next to skull mountain. It's to the left of Blackbeard.

I think that Viper will be in the game. We just have to wait. In the current pics that we have, Riddlers Revenge and Batman: The Ride aren't pictured in the SFMM pics. Those are two popular attractions at SFMM and they'll definantly be in the game. Remember, "Patience young grasshopper."

PLayerPunk I see your point but Batman and Riddler aren't missing. Viper is missing. Riddler and Batman just wern't photographed unlike Viper which is plan old missing from it's area.

Also, if you check out the videos of SFMM, Batman and Riddler are there.

Actually, Viper may just not be in the spot they pictured. From what I remember, Viper is at the beginning of rt's lift. We dont really have a good angle of that area, so we cant tell yet.

Where's a video of them being there? I have all five of the IGN vids downloaded and I didn't see them anywhere on the map. They're both towards the back of the park right?

Well, I don't see them, and if oyu do, can you point them out to me? Anyways, where Batman and Riddlers Revenge are supposed to be, there is just a blank spot of grass that would fit the ride perfectly. Viper will probably be in the game, they just haven't built it yet. Remember, this game isn't coming out for 2 months.

I havent seen the vdeos yet, so I cant tell you, but they are located both near medusa.

I cant get the movies to work! Can anyone help me when I start up the Media File it says that the computer cant find the filter files.

You may be right, but look at this picture http://www.gadv.com/rctgadv2.jpg it shows most of RT lift,and you see runaway train on the lake ,and some of Medusa ,shouldent there be a brige there, then Viper next to it, but since it is a game and it cant be perfect it might be a little before RT lift. I guess we will have to wait till it comes out to find out, or another screen shot is out.

I still don't think that it's there but if it were it would be completly obscured by RT's lift hill and the bridge should be to the right in this picture based on the position of Medusa. Either way it's not very accurate. None of runaway train gets that close to Medusa's dive loop.

Woodencyclone I also wouldnt take the fact that you dont see it in the screen shot as an announcement fom Six Flags that they are removing the ride If it's not in the game the most likely reason is that Chris Sawyer did not create an inline twist for the steel corkscrew type coaster

I did not see it as a annoucement that Great Adventure would be removing Viper, im not that type of person who sees somthing not to the norm,and go's and start posting rumors (far from it) ,I thought i'd share my thought with everyone who was willing to read it, and see what they had to say,and maybe if they knew somthing more then I did.

I'd say that for Viper, they'll just use the Premier track and make different trains for it besides the Premier trains. After all, Chris Sawyer put lots of things in the old games that he probably didn't think were going to be used much, but just for laughs.

You totally read my mind. The first thing I thought was, Medusa? Yellow? Then I looked at pics of Rolling Thunder and didn't see Viper. I figured maybe it just wasn't in the screen shot but, in real life the coaster takes up the space BEFORE the drop on Rolling Thunder. It wasn't there. And yes, Medusa looks like crap in the game. I hope the new game has some really cool new UNEXPECTED things because from the screenshot the game just looks like another expansion pack. I hope it lives up to it's expectations.

I think the game probably will have Viper he probably put it in front of RT. Look at the recreations we can tell they aren't that accurate because the Buccaneer is not next to Skull Mountain. I also saw the picture with a big plot of land where R.R and B:TR had to go for the sfmm recreation. He wouldn't leave out a coaster like that. I think Medusa looks more yellow than Lime, I like the dive loop but the way he built the line, station, and everything else is all messed up.

I think I know why Viper isn't pictured.

Look at the second paragraph. It says that for the real parks you have to build missing attractions. Maybe Viper is missing and you have to build it yourself! I figured it out!
