What exactly was the reason they changed it to that form? I think it was room, but I'm not that sure.
This is where I would usually put stuff. Can't think of anything right now... =/

It just doesn't look like Vertical Velocity. I know the back tower is vertical but not that much. It just doesn't live up to it's name that well. But ours lives up to it's name because the towers are at the angle it was intended to be (90 degree) and it goes the speed it was intended to be.

It was shortened because it exceeded their height restriction.

Yea, somehow nobody noticed it was too nigh on paper, so they tilted it. I think it looks neater and pretty awesome. Here you might acually be able to see the world spinning around you.

I think I would rather prefer that type of V2 because the turns on the angled spike are pratically inversions.

I've ridden it. It's way more interesting than our V2. It does look kind of tacky though doesn't it.

It looks so ugly to me. I think they could have made it look better. Did they have to redesign the trains once they redid the ride?

Dunno but it's the same kind of ride so probably not.

I think it looks really unique. It lives up to its name to me....The back spike is the vertical part and the angled "tower" is the velocity part, its cool how it flips you upside down. I think SFMW thought of an interesting way to keep the ride. 8)
