The Viper at Six Flags AstroWorld was an Anton Schwarzkopf designed Looping Star model and had operated at AstroWorld since 1989. It consisted of a single loop and was demolished with the closing of AstroWorld on October 30, 2005. It had originally been the Jet Scream at Six Flags St. Louis.
The ride has an identical, still operating clone known as "Silver Bullet", located at Frontier City in Oklahoma City Oklahoma. It has a different paint scheme and its tunnel is in it's final turn, rather than the drop hill.
