How is V2?

Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.

V2 Rules!

Well the first time I went on V2 I was exactly 54" and I had some troubles getting in to the seat, mostly because it is so high off of the ground. It is a really fun ride overall.

V2 is my least favorite coasters at the park, it is better than some coasters, just SFGAm has high quality coasters, and they are all really good, but V2 happens to be my least favorite.

For me, V2 is only awesome if it's my first ride of the day. After that, it's fun but nothing incredible.
Finally Coaster Season!!

I agree. Its an ok ride, but its not worth two hours of waiting for it. The first time I rode it I thought my eyes were going to pop out of my head at the break part. Kinda hurts. But yeah, its ok. Maybe if it were longer.

I think its boring and not worth a wait that isn't already at the top of the stairs in the station area.

Sorry to bring this thread back up, but do you get to pick what row you want ride in when you get into the station?

Dude, don't be sorry. Your question was definately not worth it's own topic. Better to bring up old ones for little stuff like that.

Anyways, yup, just like every other coaster, your choice.

No way! You get all the way up the 185 foot twist. It looks awesome.

Front is awesome for the view of the front spike, on the back spike you can see a lot of the ground no matter which row you are in. Personally, I like back row just for the extra height on the freefall.

^ Exactly how I picture it. Long free falls dont phase me, but maybe after a few rides ill go for back row.

It's really cool, but not worth a wait over 15 mins.

Im willing to wait whatever for this ride since I have been waiting 3 years to ride it. If I have to see that stupid sign one more time "Rides not operating today: V2."

^If it is open, just give it a try, but don't wait an hour for it. You'll regret that.

^ Everyone says its not worth waiting a long time for it. I just cant see this ride being that bad. Well, I'll find out in 6 months if this is really true.

^Why is that? If they have it working again, he should only have to worry about small breakdowns, right?!
