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!!
Just to let you know. Trance-Same beat reapeated over and over again in a loop.Few Words. Example-Omnibus(Laut Sprecher) Techno-Features a melody and does not loop.Has alot of Words. Example-Words(Dance Nation)
Gah, let's just call it Electronica. Then there's no confusion.
this is a signature
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.
V2 update- saw it a few minutes ago, all the supports up, just like 'Steel Venom'
 .
Speaking of Steel Venom's anybody know if Valleyfair's Steel Venom recieved these new supports this year as well?
Go Bulls!

What about sfmw's V2, i know its somewhat modified, but did it need atleast part of these new supports?
Around the world and back
SFMW's V2 hasn't gotten the extra supports.
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 Around the world and back
I know it's not Premier LIM's on V², it sounds something technical like 'LIMTECH' or thereabouts.
Intamin has their own electronic dept that designs and makes them.
I just rode Mr. Freeze yesterday, and it doesnt make noise like that at all.

Mr.Freeze has way different LIMS than v2's.

Manufactuer is ProLim. 580 volts, I forget the amperage, and they operate at 60hz (frequency of the noise you hear) Favorite Wood Coasters: The Voyage, Ravine Flyer II, Thunderhead, Balder
Favorite Steel: Voltron Nevera, Steel Vengeance, Expedition GeForce, Olympia Looping Parks visited: 232, Coasters Ridden: Steel: 894, Wood: 179, Total: 1073
Thank you VERY much. I was looking for that. See I told you it was something like LIMTECH.
