I have to say atleast GA had enough common sence to keep this ride.If the buccanneer evr leaves the park i think that i will have a witch doctor cast a spell on the parkso hat no one will ever go there again.Lol. SF need the buccaneer to keep the kids who pay there salary comming to the park. I think the new managment that the park ha this year has already messed up by removing the swings and looping starship. They really need to redeem themselves in 09. All i have to ay to them is good luck, you better pull your head out of your butts and see that flats keep the park afloat, not 500 foot tall coasters!

Please do not ripp any more stuff out of the park. Put a new show in there! We cant afford to have something else ripped down. I dont think GA is getting another coaster.I think there gong to anounce another freefall type ride for the park. i see no reason to remove and try and pack another coaster in that area with he addition of dark night its to crowded. There are plenty of open spces for a ride an i dont see one going there. Look for the coaster in 2010 i old country. As far as shows years ago they had dolpin and seal shown lose it who cares, lets see te high divers and water ski show again. Do the still do the fireworks from lake grandstand . SF needs o look into the past to see what worked and stop taking chances and removing stuff people like!

I hope were going to see a spotlight of lightning loops soon.It was one if not the first loping roller coaster in the park. I love the sound it made when the catch car would push you of the hill. It could be heard from the main gate. Im also waiting for one from the haunted castle, enterprise, and really looking forward to viper. ( i was an operator on that the first year it opened). also a great spotlight may be mtwe as t had massive lines every year. I think that may end up over in adventure rivver in next few seasons. there werent many prolems with that ride was there? anyways every spotlight is totaly awsome and lov refredhing my mind by reading them. this site kicks butt!!!!!!!!!

This was a great ride. I remember when this was new.The lines were crazy long. But it was the only ride in the area. I liked it better with the orange paint though.

We need rides other than coasters too. we need rides like Enterprise and Swiss Bob to be reintroduced to park. Why spend millions on one coaster when we an get several flats for same price and bring back up the ride count.

Would have been cool to ride this one again.But its kinda hard to get parts from a company that no longr exitis.TOGO went under because of Viper and their rides killing people in Japan. Actually they had no business in the roller coaster industry as every one of there coasters beat the crap out of you!

I think i remember GA running both trains on thunder backwards one year. it kicked butt backwards. I would love to see it done again.Lets petition GA!

I used to work on viper and one of the bigest prolems the ride had was the 3 foot stress crack in the heartline spin. i had to be forced back intop place and the rewelded . This weld caused the wheels on viper to ake a rough section of track and it tore them up. The wheel house could not refab wheels fast enough to keep up with the amount it went through. It already had a wheel problem from day one as the wheel compound was very hard and couldnt take the amount of friction heat it was making. In general the desin was bad and untl the track was replaced the following year this is why it was closed as much as it was

I always got the chicken finger platter with a chocolate parfait. I also used to love the little fruit drinks in the plastic containers shapped like the flavor it was with the crazy straws! Do they still sell those at the park?

that looks totaly awsome.I would bet thats going to be a smash it with the kids. I know my kids will love it! I will definitly play every time i do go when i mov e back!

The rumors i here is that GA is getting a new drop tower ride in 09 due to the fact that all thje free falls six flag owned are sitting in a dirt lot somewhere.I do know for many years frefall was a huge draw to park and that drop towers have the kind of pull SF needs. Dont be suprised if you see a sign towards the end of season stating this fact.As far as a location for it?, im not sure but th area around the yum yum palace needs something. ever since shockwave left that whole area is a drag to go through.

lets figure out a way to build a giant dome over the entire propety and keep it open all year long! lol

man you have all kinds of GA memoribilia. I remember that posting in the park. wow is there anything you dont have?

Does anybody remember the twicket.You would have to validate it for 5 $ but if you paid to get in you got one for admission another day. i went to ga one season on just these alone.lol

well if the sign is gone you can kiss this one good-bye.In all the years if the sign is gone the ride is sure to be gone. with the entire old country area being closed i think GA is up to something big. however i have thought this before and was wrong. but im thinking with new park management the future is going to bring us something good.rumors say they have something planned every yar till 2010. i just hope its all g.ood

every one who worked on that ride used to fight on who was doing test runs before park would open. and if we had extra people and an extra seat on the train one of us were in it. rough ride but still fun.

Batman the ride is great! i just wish the would have put it somewhere else i was a huge fan of lightnin loops. too bad thats gone. well at least they still exist in usa. but black track is the way to go on the paint scheme.

I didnt work ops but i had a friend who worked the dive show.One day when we were off and hanging out with the divers we got to go swim in the pool. We climbed up the high dive tower and jumped. I only made it to the first platform i think was 60 ft. All i remember was people yelling from the sky ride to jump. My hats off to the divers who did flips from 100 ft. you guys are nuts. While screwing around in pool that day one of the divers was videoing us. I did a stupid flip twist belly flop and if anyone knows any of the divers from the 95 or 96 season you should see if they have that tape. I swear its funny!

Ya that sure is it. i guess GA was tring to save money on paint.lol. Well ill be more than happy to tell ya anything i can remember about viper. or any of the shannanagins that went on back satge.lol, just thinking of those days makes me laugh. That might have been the most fun job i ever had. Well i live in Az now but will be moving back to sayreville in few months. I cant wait to go and see how the park has changed

Hi, my name is Neil. I worked on viper back in the 95 season. I remember the mechanics comming out every morning to weld the 3 foot crack in the track in the heart line spin section bout 1\4 way in.lol & And the air conditioning in the computer room was wicked cold! i had the high score on solitare for the longest time. Anyways it was alot of fun back in the day but the outfits we had to wear were redicoulous! rember the jean shorts with the red checkered shirts and hankerchief. Well the best part of working rides was it was easy for us high school kids to pick up hot chicks and give them the 'backstage tour' or hook up with your supers and go 'hang out under the station' anyways too bad viper is the only sfGA coaster to ever get completly scrapped. But TOGO built a horrible ride. it was fun to go to top of lift hill like 30 times a day to hit the start button. they should have welded a chair up there. well i got lots o story to tell of viper days. ill post more later
