Viper retained the inversions record until Vortex opened at Kings Island in 1987.

On November 17, 1981, Darien Lake announced that they would be building a new roller coaster for the 1982 season.

After exiting the station house, the track makes a wide U-Turn to the lift hill, which then brings the car up 121 feet (37 m) above the ground.

At the bottom of the first drop, the train reaches its maximum speed of 50 mph (80 km/h), which is followed by a vertical loop.

Also, there is an on-ride camera that takes pictures of the guests and photos can be purchased at a shack near the ride's exit.
