IgetAround Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Up for sale is a wheel from the infamous Great Adventure Coaster VIPER. The wheel was briefly used on the coaster ( as you can see from the wear) This is a unique item for any collection and surely a great conversation piece. Feel free to make me an offer, there's really no saying in what exactly this is worth. See below photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gafreak Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 I worked viper, and I would be interested, however the color is wrong, viper ran clear poly wheels ,at least it did it's opening year, do you have any way to verify it is from viper?

29yrswithaGApass Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 You can see the reddish color wheels in this photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IgetAround Posted March 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 As the photo above states, it is one of the side rail wheels which typically were red. The wheel was gifted to me by a mechanic of the park in 2005. That's how I acquired it, unfortunately, there is no solid way to verify it came from the ride other than my word, and matching the wheel to photos of the ride.

dougdrummer Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 I wonder how often they have to replace those wheels due to wear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Kaiser Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 They usually send the wheels off to get new polyurethane coatings (the outer layer) on them when it wears down to a certain diameter. The metal part gets re-used. I'm not sure how often that happens, or how often they replace the entire metal wheel, but I do have a wheel from Nitro, metal and all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
