Why not? It's not like V2 is anywhere near the end of it's life at Great America. If it was somewhere like 15 years old, i could see why. But it's barely 9 years old.
It's not about age (sometimes) the majority of the time is money. They probably don't have the money to fix the brake and I think they took the brake out i have no idea.
They have the money, but they just don't want to do it fix it. You have to remember this is the corporation that says everything is going to be running the same as last year, and they yank rides or theaters out to save money. With Chang coming, could we see Pictorium going?? With this company I would say yes because they would take it out.
"I've been staring at the world, waiting. All the trouble and all the pain we're facing. Too much light to be livin' in the dark. Why waste time? We only got one life. Together we can be the CHANGE. So go and let your heart burn bright"
Well we don't know if we are getting Chang or not, but if we do I could see them getting rid of the Pictorium for the coaster. That area would be a nice area for a coaster.
I heard they will probalby be fixing it during the off season this year. I personally hope they do, I loved that snap at the top, especially hearing the people go "uuughh" and "owww", haha, quite funny. I forget who told me, but I seem to remember it being someone that should know. We'll see, only time will tell. Plus this topic has already been created a loooong time ago and shouldn't be too far down the page, "V2 Occasional No Holding Brake Malfunction".
