Well me and some of my friends were talking about six flags and then one of my friends said that v2 hurts. Ive never been on it, and I asked him how. He told me to ride it and I would find out.
Next SFGAm trip: June 5th

When it first launches it may cause your legs to slam into your seat but otherwise it doesnt hurt.

It hurts your head and neck a little but I went on it 12X on opening day suprise it was open and no lines it never hurt me at all the only thing that hurts is when the lines get longer and you go to the park and the ride is close im sure it will happen this season. Its a fun ride you should ride it for yourself.

No, no it doesn't.
Every jumbled pile of person has a thinking part that wonders what the part that isn't thinking, isn't thinking of.

If you ride it correctly, it won't hurt.

Yes, which means dont stick your head outwards when they "Clear for launch" otherwise its going to slam into the headrest when the train launches. Ive seen it in videos tons of times.

It doesn't hurt at all. Although it can when it holds you up on those brakes on the rear spike.

Well, since your friend told you to ride and find out, i'm assuming he is a male and is refering to the sometimes crushing sensation he or any other male might get when the vehicle stops on the rear spike. Just an idea, but it happens sometimes depending on how you're sitting.

Otherwise, lean your head back on the launch and you'll be fine. No headbanging or anything.

The one at SFGAm doesn't hurt if you ride it properly. The one at Six Flags over Georgia on the other hand is painful to ride.

Are you talking about the one at Six Flags Marine World? I always wondered how the headbanging was on that, well, corkscrew they got over there.

The only time it might hurt is on the rear spike if your harness isn't all the way against your body it will crush you down there and it won't feel to good.

It can hurt if you're a guy.

It also can hurt if you have your arms raised when it brakes on the back spike. I've done that a few times, it hurts the arms.

Sorry...Not enough sleep. I was actually thinking of Deja Vu, not V2.
