Sea Viper is a steel roller coaster at Palace Playland, the beachfront amusement park in Old Orchard Beach, Maine. It opened in 2018 in place of the Galaxi coaster, which closed in 2017, and partly sits on land the park added for the project.
The ride was built by the Italian company Preston & Barbieri and is an Anaconda 2.0 model. The park gives its height as 70 feet, its top speed as 42 mph and its track length as 1,500 feet, and calls it the first of its kind in the United States. A chain lift pulls the single six-car train, which seats 24 riders, up the hill, and the layout has no inversions.
The park's minimum height is 51 inches, or 48 inches with a paying adult.
