I was there too. And when they started testing it, it didnt even get high enough to stall at the back tower. But they were testing it untill closing. And at night it was working perfectly in my opinion.

This was your problem

Look at the first brake...then look at the one right next to it.

I don't know if this was mentioned earlier in this topic but on July 5 they were doig what the supervisor for the ride called "extensive testing" on it. It took them like 5 tries just to get the train going up the towers to their normal height. So i was expecting the ride to have been open by now.

I thought V2 was open now. Does anyone know if it was open today or was it closed again?

Yes, V2 was open today according to a reliable source.

In the picture for anyone that is wondering the one brake is down and none of the other breaks are down that was the problem.

I take it as two of them are down. The second one looks black in the picture (next to the lamp-post). This is why the person said look at the first brake and then look at the one to the right of it.

V2 was indeed open today and running fine. And so was Deja Vu for that matter. So was triple play. The only thing closed was King Chaos. Great day for a trip to the park. Light crowds, nice weather. You all missed out.

I was on V2 front row today, it was like all the other rides, but the LIMs sounded like they were having trouble, and the holding brakes the second time going up the second tower never held me, I was upset, but I went to Deja Vu, so it was all good.
