I really would like it to open sooner :(

but I'd much rather like it running better and later than crappy and early. :roll:

haha, I WISH!^

I'll be there tomorrow, so I'll post an update. Too bad I don't have my camera, may it return safely from Sony soon :(

I'll see if my sister will let me use hers to create a PTR.

I have no pics, I left the park as soon as the cold front hit....all wet and it was like 45 degrees outside.

It was too ridiculous and we left after only going on 3 rides.

V2 is OPEN (And I never got to ride it :evil: )

But every time I seen it running, the holding LIMS at the top were not working....just as I thought.

Is it holding on the back spike?
Remember, there's nothing but air beneath the chair.

It probably won't hold on the back spike when its too cold or when its wet. Which is the case when I was there yesterday.

No, it is still "broken" and it is not yet known what they're going to do about it.

^That is just plain stupid...understandable but a lot of people will not get it. It is a feature of the ride and anybody going on the ride or to the park itself will tell you V2 always held for a bit on the back spike. Not a big deal but certainly one they should have thought about earlier...like when the ride first came to be.
