But you should have seen how much I was spinning it was more intense than Fiddlers Fling. The only reason why I almost lost it was because we went on that as soon as we got back from burger king.

Both of those are easier then V2... you havent done Iron Wolf?? If you can do Batman, Wolf is nothing and nothing memorable lol.

Regardless of what some experienced guy will say, V2 is the hardest ride in the park as a first time rider. I would highly recommend to stay in the middle if you are nervous and it will be fine. I still get nervous going on the ride, but the restraints come down as tight as you want (no clicks) so it feels a little more secure.

Superman is nothing honestly, nothing should scare you about that ride. The loop is intense, but the rest of the ride is just fun. Although I refuse to wait more then 30 minutes for it (and any ride in the park for that matter unless im with friends who havent been)

Well i know that at first I loved Demon also and i still do when the station is empty. But the straight part coming out of the tunnel and before the corkscrew just ruins the pace of the ride. I know ive said that before.

I do enjoy the back row for the drop and i do like the speed it picks up at the top of the lift and going around the curve.

But no doubt Bull is just a better ride overall, just way more to it

i completly agree with what you said, V2 is hard the first and second ( if you have like 2 years in between like me) but then its really fun

My first time on V2 was 3rd row, had no say where to sit. I didn't know what to expect and I hit my head and I held on for dear life let me tell ya. Now I only ride front row on that.

*shakes head* no actually I don't remember that part the first time I went on it because I was scared but it's not really all that bad. If you want seriously wait to go on it and I will go on it with you, I know that sounds childish and stuff but it's not bad I promise.

Being held on the back tower is always most peoples scariest part, but is because it stops and you fall foward onto the restraint, but its more cool then anything.

The feelings i have about the ride are as such:

-The launch isn't as bad as it looks, when your on it you wont think its that fast.
-The spiral front tower doesn't give you that intense stomach drop feeling, but the when you fly backwards through the station and go backwards up the back tower it does feel a bit intense.
-Going up the front spiral tower the 2nd time is hands down the scariest part for me if you are near the front or in the front. The 2nd time up is the fastest, and it is the closest you will get to the top and trust me it looks like you are going to go over.
-The back row in my opinion will be the most intense row, i haven't done it yet. The front is cool with nothing in front of you but like Raging Bull, the front is just more fun. The back stalls you at the highest point on the back tower and you get pull backwards the highest.
- Try to not let the insane loudness of the station get to you, because it does a good job of it. Alot of the screaming noises are actually the ride and not people.


Iron Wolf is nothing, ride it and see how you like it...but honestly i dont know what has prevented you from doing it. You can do Batman, and Iron wolf only has like 2 inversions. Its nothing bad at all

^I've wanted to do Wolf but my friends didn't want to go with me so I didn't. Thanks for all the tips on V2. The screaming noise I hear at the launch is obviously not completely from people.

I'm very late on this post, but I think Superman is the scariest coaster in the park. The front flip gives strongest g-forces. If you want to ride v2 for the first time, I suggest going near the front. The straight tower will have less of a drop, and in my opinion the spiral isn't that bad. The scariest part of the ride is launch!
