I want to seperate this topic from the other v2 topics because it`s something I feel very stongly about and I would like feedback from you. I HATE THE NEW SUPPORTS ON V2!!!!!!!! The track is designed to sway. By adding more support, the track doesn`t sway as much, adding more stress to the ride because now the towers are more rigid. Not to mention, the new supports ruin the aesthetic of the ride.
I feel no difference when I'm on it. It actually feels smoother. Would you rather have good looks for v2 or have it be safe?
I'll leave the designing to the people that know how to do it.
Itamin does have a habit of doing things the hard way though.
But get over it, the ride will have the new supports and there is nothing you can do about it.
When I rode it I didn't feel any difference what so ever. I didn't even notice the supports.

Its not like it changes the ride! Some people didnt like the swaying, so, they fixed it. Get over it.
That Krazy kid on the DDR machines!
Its doesnt matter because it doesnt change the ride.
Personally I don't think they even helped the swaying all that much anyways. The tower isn't going to snap, our harnesses aren't going to magically stop working...v2 is safe and good.

Maybe I should get over it, but I liked the sway. It made the ride unique. It was safe before the new supports were added.
Now its safer
Well, they could of matched the colors better and they are pretty rusty. It looks terrible in my opinion. It could of been that big of a problem because if it was the ride would have always had the supports.

Nobody in the GP will even notice, I am willing to bet that even some employee's don't even notice unless they were all told about them.

The added supports will NOT make V2 form stress fractures in its supports. They were added to prevent this. They also do NOT make the supports not sway all together they just make it not sway as much. Too much swaying is bad for any steel structure, the supports just prevent this.
Regardless of what you guys think about the supports, I'm sure they were necessary. Why the heck would they add supports unless there was a serious problem that might need to be corrected. You are not the engineer who determined they were needed, so why are you second guessing?
If they're there, there are necessary. Simple reason why: if it's a required safty change, they were constructed and installed at INTAMIN's cost NOT SIX FLAGS'! And do you really think a company with financial woes is going to spend the money to design, construct and install... how many of this ride are there now?... sets of supports unless there's some pretty damning evidence that something might break?
THANK YOU. He makes the exact point I was going to make. They added the supports BECAUSE THEY WERE NECESSARY. Not because Six Flags wanted to make the ride look ugly to piss off people on sfgamworld.com! Honestly, all my friends complain about them, and I didn't even notice them until Sunday. It's no big deal... not nearly as bad as people put it out to be. If you want to see ugly... V2 at SFMW... yeah that has issues. Track Record - 330something
Hail to the THIEF
No your wrong because the park ONLY cares about the looks of its rides! Six Flags just liked how those things looked, not like it was for saftey reasons.
*Note sarcasm* Seriously is it really that big of a deal? "No, Viper does not have any loops."
Me either. Not that it's supposed to change the ride in any way... except appearance. 
Thank you all for your feedback. Iappreciate it. You guys are right. I need to deal. There`s nothing I can do about it now, and you`re right again, it doesn`t change the ride at all. It`s still great!!!
So with that said, this topic ends.
I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.
