I want to ask about two rollercoasters because they LOOK good. They are by the same name. The first one is Viper at SFGAdv. How was it if you ever rode it, and do you think it deserves another home?

The other one is the Ultra Twister that was at both SFGAdv and now the departing SF Astroworld. They are both Togo's by the way if you didn't know.

Ultra Twister suffered from really bad restraints, other that that is was actually a pretty decent ride.

Viper has already been scrapped though (never rode it, was already SBNO when I finally got to SFGAdv)

I could see UltraTwister showing up someplace else as Premeir Rides supports the ride(and all TOGO's) in the US, so spare parts isnt an issue. It'd have to go into a fairly small park though, or some place landlocked. It'd probably work better at a smaller non corperate owned park as really it cant compare to most new rides at SF parks.

Though in the end I bet it ends up as scrap, hope not, but probably will be the outcome.
