V2 question.

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

I do the same thing. Half the time I don't even pay attention to the train flying by me in the station. However, I do like the noise it makes when it launches.
2010 is going to be one to remember forever!!

Let's try to stay one topic here (save techno arguements for the general topic).

I've ridden with Kyle on V2 (my first time) and he didn't even flinch on the launch where as I was freaking out. Now I can do just the same.

Good info on why the LIMs make that noise, I was acually looking for information on it. Do you know what brand the LIMs are? If you are in the front row the train stops right under a sticker, but I forgot the manufacturer name.

If you look at MW's V² then you will see that it won't need them. The back tower is short enough to not need them and the whole spiral tower (it's at a 45 degree angle to the horisontal) and the whole tower is supported.

Here are two pictures
Here is the back spike, as you can see, the whole train does not go vertical
Front spike, tell me if this needs more supports

I read somewhere that premeir rides did the lims for Superman:the Escape, so My guess would be they did the lim's on v2 also

I know it's not Premier LIM's on V², it sounds something technical like 'LIMTECH' or thereabouts.

Manufactuer is ProLim.

580 volts, I forget the amperage, and they operate at 60hz (frequency of the noise you hear)
