But wait,repparttar 135634 Viper is set to lose this title to an even taller and faster opponent withrepparttar 135635 planned unveiling of The KingDa Ka. Towering at 456 feet and launching you screaming at over 127 MPH, America's theme parks just keep getting bigger, faster and meaner....almost out of control. So make sure your camp is based aroundrepparttar 135636 Los Angeles area if you decide to takerepparttar 135637 plunge.
