thispagecannotbedisplayed says In-House-Development, but I am not too sure who that is, and I am not sure if they made any others.

gees not even rcdb has this, but it has to be a good company to have built the viper, because it is the smoothest wooden i have ever been on. It is a really good ride.

From what I know, it was one of the few built by Six Flags Inc. I'll need somebody to confirm that though.

Yup, Viper was built by Six Flags themselves, it says so under the information for Viper:

I'm surprised Six Flags could create this coaster.

Well seeing as how Viper is a mirrored clone of the Cyclone, they didn't have to design much at all. Still, if Six Flags can make a woodie that smooth, then they should make more!

It's strange, that if SF made Viper, why no clones??? But seriously, Viper is awesome and doesn't take up too much space and probably isn't that expensive to build. I wonder why they haven't done another one like it or similar.

Such an amazing coaster. If Six Flags took control in ride designs for their park, we may have better luck with the delays in getting a new ride to operate. I am proud of Six Flags for this coaster since it is so much fun, fast and smooth. The only time I had a painful ride on it was when it was raining really hard during Frightfest. Those raindrops hitting your face @ that speed feel like needles.
