V2: Vertical Velocity is a thrilling Impulse coaster that is not to be missed.  The acceleration is awesome and the twisting tower is fantastic.  The highlight is the holding brake on the rear straight tower!

this is an awesome ride but its so discriminatory. i'll explain. you have to be over 54 inches and under 80 inches! so
if your 6 foot 8 and over dont even bother waiting in line i snuck on a couple of times last year and just raised my
legs up so i looked short but the ride should have a floor that lowers down like on batman so everyone 54 inches and up
can ride!

I LOVE this coaster! The forward AND back LIM acceleration is awesome. It's a very smooth ride. The freefall (5x
total) on both towers is lots of fun. I actually enjoy the face first drop on the straight tower more than Shiekra's
dives. Sitting in the front row when they hold the train face down for a second has a very strong effect on the
bladder. It's a bit scary to look at the shallow pond 150' below you and think that 100% of your weight is resting on
the shoulder restraint. SFGA didn't even bother theming this.

I didn't feel the twisty vertical bit the first time I went on it, although I might have just been in shock because i
was in the front row and thought I was going to die... Oh yeah, and that noise when you get to the bottom of the 'U'
always freaks me out before I get on because it sounds like people are screaming, but it's just the coaster screaming.

A great nice little ride. The brake on the vertical spike got me by surprise. 8/10.

I meant to give this ride a 10, NOT 1. Could someone at CF correct this?

This was fun! I sat near the front on this ride and it was awesome! Next on my Impulse Coaster list: Wicked Twister at
Cedar Point.
