The ride is boring as hell. Seriously, the vertical towers gimmick can only keep someone entertained so long. Going back and forth a few times, not my definition of thrilling. in my opinion, even Spacely Sprocket Rockets is better than V2.
I never saw V2 move yesterday. I went by it about a half-dozen times not to mention I did try to keep my eye on it when I was in other areas of the park.
My Favorite SFGAm Coasters:
Raging Bull, Viper, Batman: The Ride, Iron Wolf
^ Yeah no kidding. I think the line moves a lot faster on V2 than DJV.
"There should be a B.O. squad that patrols the city like a "Smell Gestapo". To sniff 'em out, strip 'em down, and wash them with a big, soapy brush..."
"Why is nice bad? What kind of a sick society are we living in when nice is bad?"
Count me in as "would rather have the lighthouse than that Intamin POS" group. The ride just does nothing for me. The launch is weak (or at least weaker than Rock'n'Rollercoaster at WDW) and the towers are dissappointing. I was expecting my stomach to drop on the vertical tower but no, no feeling at all. And the fact that I get a headache everytime I go into that station is enough to keep me away from that ride forever. I wish they would have put in a Swat ride instead. Ok well i've filled my V2 bashing quota for the year .

Wow the V2 hate is really bad here. It did kill the theming though. 2001 was my first time at SFGAm, so I never saw it before V2 was there. The theming in Yankee Harbor is a joke now. BTR and V2 are really harbor themed. But I would rather have a coaster, and hey it at least eats up some GP. in my opinion the only coasters V2 is better than are Iron Wolf and Spaceleys.
Its also amazing to see all those old pics of SFGAm. Park has changed so much.
In my opinion, V2 is a great ride. Hopefully, punkbunny2424 (I know she used to like this ride.) and I will be the only ones in line when it opens up. Yeah right, who am I kidding.
I think the other Intamin coaster is a piece of junk.
"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"
Yep it's tried with Raging Bull for my favorite in the park! Wouldn't that be funny I'd walk up to the only other person waiting.... me "you must be ilovethevu" you "hi punkbunny"
I would go on it....all my friends think it's unreliable so they're like "I don't think so..." me, I would go on it in a second. Of course, lately they also think I have a death wish, but....
Nope V2 nor Vu was running that day. I think Vu tested, but after that, I never saw it run. I know because I was going to go see if I could ride solo if I was getting on with an exit pass, but the ride wasn't running anyway. I was SERIOUSLY bummed. All my friends are really afraid of that ride. Practically thought I was a fool for even suggesting riding it. Now, do you see why you need to move back here??
I thought the same thing that day! I haven't been on either one of them since they've been put in. Eric thinks "They should take them down and put up something more reliable." I'm like, "Noooo...it runs, just never when I'm there!" I think I need to borrow you one of these days and we should go. Even if your baby doesn't. Be easier if you guys lived here (did I mention that ? )
