Baja Ridge

The eastern ridge line, home to Viper's three loops and the park's steepest drop on Goliath's far side approach.

  • HeadlinerViper

Baja Ridge is the stretch of park between the plaza loop and the back bay, and its landmark is Viper's interlocking corkscrews, visible from the parking lot and responsible for a meaningful share of the park's souvenir neck pillows. It is a 1990 Arrow multilooper in full voice.

The ridge also catches the afternoon sun later than the summit does, which makes it a decent late-day zone. Viper at sunset, with the valley going orange behind the loops, is one of the park's signature moments.

Baja Ridge tips

  • Viper's shoulder harnesses are famously unforgiving on wide shoulders — keep your head back against the headrest through the loops.
  • Save this strip for late afternoon when the summit crowd drains downhill.

Viper

54"137cm

Roller coaster · 2 min · Line-skip

The 1990 Arrow multilooper with seven inversions and the interlocking corkscrews every visitor photographs from the parking lot.

Viper is the classic that refuses to leave: a 144-foot first drop into a vertical loop, a batwing, and the interlocking corkscrew finale that has been the park's silhouette since 1990. It was among the tallest looping coasters in the world on opening and remains the purest old-school looper at the park.

Tips for Viper
  • Use the current queue and operating hours to decide whether a late-day stop fits.
  • Save it for the golden hour; the ridge view plus short queue is the best late-day pairing.
  • Skip it if anyone in the party is prone to headaches or neck issues; nothing at the park punishes tension like Viper.
