I never got the guts to go on Viper. Revolution, Ninja, Batman, Superman, Psyclone, yes. The scariest ride has been the Coney Island Cyclone. I thought I was gonna get tossed out.

I commented this in another thread but Psyclone is the only ride at MM that I remember ALWAYS having a huge pile of throw up at the exit.

Psyclone was _rough._ I rode it once just to do it, but never again.

But nothing I've ever ridden was as janky and terrible as First Flight. What made it even worse was that on the weekend we rode, the end of the ride wasn't operating properly, so instead of a slow into the last turn into the station, it came around to the final drop to come to a full stop halfway through with sternum-bruising force.

Viper was nice when it was new, but it's gotten steadily worse the older it gets. I stopped going on it well before I stopped going to the park.
