I rode Viper at SFoG and to be honest the rides are pretty tame. I'm not pissed that Carowinds got rid of theres. Intamin took everything about these rides and made them better. So if anything, we should get an impulse coaster at Carowinds, that would be sweet.

Gonna have to disagree with that; personally I would take a Schwarzkopf shuttle loop over any of the Intamin impulses any day.

I mean the loop really isn't as forceful as it's put out to be. And on top of that, the launch is extremely overrated. Intamin Impulses have a faster and more forceful and much scarier than the Schwarzkopf Shuttle Loop I rode.

Ok, you are comparing one of the first launch coasters in the world to a coaster an inverted launch coaster? That is comparing apples to oranges! I have never ridden a shuttle loop, but Wicked Twister at Cedar Point isn't really amazing after the first launch.

I have ridden viper at SFOG and montezooma's revenge at Knotts. These rides are incredible, classic, and fun. Not big or intense, but fun. The lap bar adds alot, and they aren't intense and gross like a boomerang. One of these shuttle loops is worth hours of re-rideable excellence.
