V2 noise

I was at Valley Fair on Saturday and Steel Venom (replica of V2) their magnets of that model were extreamly loud, like when it stops you in mid -air it makes a loud screeching sound. Does V2 at Great America do that?
Well if you're there in the morning when they start it up it almost hurts your ears cause it's so quiet around the park, and yes it does make a noise when it stops (although I hear it's not as bad as Valleyfairs).
Yes, it does. All that "screaming" is mostly from the ride itself. You have many other rides by V2 (Whirlgig, East River Crawler, and BTR), and thus these can block the noise somewhat.
I have a question: Does whirligig make noises?
I want the sfgam survivor to be held every July and August.
Yes, actually it makes two. The main one is like a whining noise. The other one is when it goes up. It's hard to describe it though. I guess it's like a stomping noise.
The sounds are cool. They sound like the people are screaming even when no one is on it.

That's the LIMs for you there.

No its made out of state-of-the-art materials that create no noise. A mechanical first. Of course it makes noise, : $ Around the world and back
I just never hear. It may not be state of the art but it sure is quiet to me.

What's kind of funny, is if you go on the website for the Village Of Gurnee, and dig through the meeting minutes, when SFGAm proposed V2, they said the new coaster would be located on the site of the Whirligig. They also said the new coaster(V2) would have advanced technology, and be quieter than the ride it was replacing.
Do you think the park gave that line just to make it seem more appealing to the neighbors, or did they really not know how loud V2 would be?? Finally Coaster Season!!
^That lighthouse was annoying and really loud. You could put ten coasters together and yet it was even more noiser than that. j/k
I think they were trying to stress the point that V2 had no moving parts to move the train (i.e. a lift hill) - therefore, it shouldn't make any noise. I guess they left out the fact/didn't realize that the LIMs still make lots of noise. Still, when you're in Yukon Territory, you can't hear V2, can you? (or at least to the point where it's obnoxious)
I don't remember that lighthouse very well let alone remember it making noise.

He was joking.
I just want to make an annyoing comment. I hate it when people change their avatars. (Not that you shouldn't) i just usually know if it's the cubs symbol it's sfgamer, or if it's the shot of vu's cobra rolle it coaster corey. It always confuses me. anyway...I'm done talking now.
Yeah i'm sure they appreciate it when it starts up around 8am the clear signal "WHAAA WHAA WHAA WHAA" then the launch which you can hear from real far away in the morning "baaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh," lol.
Yeah that pretty much describes it.

Whirligig actually makes alot of noise, just not anywhere near the ride
Everything the ride does is Hydraulic that is fairly silent, but the motor house across the midway(between the bathrooms and that gift shop) that feeds the ride makes plenty of noise all day long. Same with Orbit(though I know it wasnt mentioned), just that all the stuff that makes noise there is across the water nearly in SW territory. 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
What's even worse is that the sound echos in the station making it even more ear piercing then out of the station.

I love the sounds V2 makes. When you are in the station and the train is coming back from the first tower. The LIMs make a VVVVVVVVVRRRRRR sound. Also when you stop on the back tower the brake makes a RRRRRRRRRRRR sound. I just love the sounds.
It's green. It's blue. It's all over you! Enjoy your ride on Déjà Vu
Who else likes V2's sounds
It's green. It's blue. It's all over you! Enjoy your ride on Déjà Vu
When on the ride the sounds are great and yes the holding brake rock too.
V2 actually is one of my favorite coasters there /X\
V2 and Deja Vu are my favorites in the world.
It's green. It's blue. It's all over you! Enjoy your ride on Déjà Vu
Raging Bull is my favorite.
And I also love Demon, V2, and Iron Wolf /X\
Raging Bull is my secand favorite

Oh I do! I do! It defnitley adds to the excitement of waiting in line. Plus I love seeing "newbies" faces when they hear it while waiting in line
