From the video i seen taken at iaapa it looks pretty good, i'm hoping to get up there in august to ride them both.

That's what is listed on RCDB.

I just road the one at Edaville last week an it was fun. It run like a kiddie coaster but the spinning can get every bit as intense and Pandemonium.

I hope it opens soon ! Id like to give it a spin at the event next weekend! Plus Sea Viper is a plus too!

Does anyone know if Wipeout opened?

Yes it is open thanks to Luko for the pic

Will have to make a trip up there. Thought the ACE event was a little pricey given Funtown isn't worth a visit since I just went last year.

Went the other day. It wasn’t open that day... oh well.

It’s $8.50 to ride sea viper. To be honest, I wasn’t a huge fan of the ride, granted I only took 1 ride. It was pretty shaky, oddly rougher than the old galaxi. It’s also a hell of a lot shorter. If it were a ticket cheaper it’d be well worth a ride to experience.

The layout is pretty neat though, and I actually got some good laterals at the final helix. It was just a bit shaky with some wacky transitions. I can see the public eating it up though.

From what I hear both Coasters were open at the ACE event. and didn't hear any complaints about either. I Find many carnival coasters have pore transitions because they are trying to keep the foot print as small as possible.

Yay! Both are now open. We are in Hampton in a couple of weeks. Looking forward to some time at PP for the first time in years and two new coasters!

yea i hope to make it up there next month to ride them.

I made it up yesterday (didn't realixe there was the ACE event). I saw it opened on Friday per RCDB.

Sea Viper looks like a major win for the park. It had a full queue the whole time I was at the park. I rode in the back and found it pretty smooth. The last drop had some really strong laterals.

I enjoyed both coasters. They should be a home run for the park for sure!!!! I'm currently editing the video from Saturday so It should be up in a day or two!

We rode both today. We have ridden a bunch of the SBFs so nothing special there. Sea Viper was unique for us. We found it a bit rough but worth the ride. We did find their operations a bit frustrating. The refused to send the train until it was at least half full. We were there just after park opening and it took a while to get that many riders, so we sat there for almost 10 minutes. I guess it was because they had bracelets and didn't want riders just repeating over and over. We were using tickets but had to wait like all the others. LOL

The train may need to be half full. I have heard of coaster that don;t run well if under a certain weight.

^Then how do they run it empty for testing each morning? This was almost certainly, slowing the number of times they would have to run it for folks with bracelets. Since the station was empty they would let folks with bracelets stay on but they would have to wait some time for more riders and who wants to do that.
