- V2: Vertical Velocity is an inverted steel roller coaster located at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo, California. It is California's first and only Spiraling Impulse Coaster, built by Intamin and opened in 2001. It stands 150 ft tall (46 m) and reaches speeds of up to 70 mph (110 km/h). The ride is tied with Medusa in the same park for Tallest Coaster in Northern California.

The last clip, when they say V2 at Six Flags Marine World...The V2 being shown is actually the one at Six Flags Great America.
I always loved watching the track flex and sway, was trippy to watch...but it was safe.
AngryGumball I see the track move
AngryGumball no it ain't. When it first opened the one at discovery kingdom was originally painted yellow and was vertical just like at great america. Due to city height regulations it was reduced to 150 feet and edited so the spiral tilted forward. This was also when it was repainted red
This one is still the one over at Discovery Kingdom. Initially when the ride opened, it was a twin to the V2 at SFGA same height, same layout, same color, same, station design as a descendant to the Superman Ultimate Escape ride at Six Flags World of Adventures. The ride opened for about a month until the locals in Vallejo who has too much time in their hands complained about the structure being to high and not abiding city codes. The ride was repainted red in 2007.
Also that was the year that V2 Vertical Velocity was repainted because I was trying to figure that out which year V2 Vertical Velocity has been repainted and now I finally got the answer it's 2007
@@WJF388 No that last clip is definitely from Great America. You can see the surrounding area when it goes up the twisted tower, Logger's Run, Yankee Clipper, and Camp Cartoon Network are all visible.
"it's a *dangling* coaster"
Versity Parrot lol
The spiral was designed to shake slightly. The train would go through it at high speeds and put a lot of pressure on it, and if it didn't shake, then the track would be over-stressed.
I think the best thing about this ride is that they originally built over the City of Vallejos height limit, and they did it knowingly thinking the city would just overlook it
If you had read, I said that the LAST PART of the video was V2 filmed at Six Flags Great America. I am 1000000% aware of what's happened with SFDK's V2 as it's my home park. You can CLEARLY see Yankee Clipper and Logger's Run, the 2 interlocking flume rides.
AngryGumball oh you’re right
This is the one in Vallejo. You have to watch the WHOLE video. Some time ago, they changed the track and repainted it.
It was about 20 feet over the city hight limit so they had to change it, it’s red and yellow now and it’s called The Flash Vertical Velocity
Extreme Rollercoasters
I loved it when it was yellow and blue. Why did they repaint it? I'm so pissed off!
Actually I found one image with the same paint style but with the current layout
It's so much better being red on a darker red because it isn't a copy from other parks. Plus yellow and blue isn't an interesting combo. Now, it's red and yellow because they force this superhero image on every park and it's become even more tiring.
I'm lucky I guess I got to ride this in its original version... I have ridden a few clones as well as the one at Cedar Point though.
I LUV THIS RIDE !!!!!!
they should flip the trains backward and call the ride reverse flash
did anyone else notice the spiral move lol scary
Gabriel Hernandez i was gonna say that
925. jay looks trippy eh
Gabriel Hernandez oh yea
Gabriel Hernandez thats what iys designed to do, it would cause to much stress if it didnt move. completely safe dont worry
its that old man that went on superman with a banana
925. jay yep
925. jay I love that video
I operated V2 at marine world from 2016-17 and if I saw this commercial I would of gagged. I guess being from a different time can be pretty convincing but V2, even being as unique as it was, was really nothing too special. It was still one of the best in the park tho.
Being as SFDK IS my home park as well V2 USED to be vertical on both ends....as i rode it many many times...unfortunately buoilding codes made it change
But when it changed its was unique and the only invert shuttle to invert
@@staringcorgi6475 unique doesn't make it better
@@staringcorgi6475 the rear magnets don't even hold the trains anymore, it's not as Tolland it was called v2 because of the TWO VERTICAL ends.....now it's like V1.5
@@IAmAnonymyz they didn't choose to change it the town forced them to change it
Some time ago, they repainted it and changed the track.
ik
So riders can see the ground going forward. And not just facing up
Oh... Ma Bad yo... ma bad...
why was this ride changed?
chad d it was changed because it was over 150 feet and the city of Vallejo has strict height limits so they had to either remove it or alternate it and so they made the first spike at a 40 degree angle
Can someone please tell me what they were thinking when they changed it
Where Discovery Kingdom is located. Each city has their own requirements for height of height, or state --- this case city it seems. Alton Towers are not allowed to go above the trees. Discovery Kingdom I believe were not allowed to go over 150 feet I believe, they got in trouble with V2. So the city told them it either has to come down or change something the the spiral that exceeded the height. Thus the barrelroll.
@@skyngo2873 but it's the only inverted coaster with that layout
@@faxiok yeah I know, due to the height restriction by the city it's been modified to where it's 45° front with barrel roll, bit slower, etc etc etc.
At the beginning...the track is shaking??
Hackzx yeah it has to do that
How do you explain Monsoon falls in the foreground then?
TheRealDenoci idk
OMG the twist is swinging???????? not safe!
actually is safe
@ Agreed
Why they changed vertical velocity
The ride was built over the height limit so SFDK changed the spiral to an angle and shortened the vertical spike.
When SFDK bought marine world they redid everything
Nicholas Guzman
V2 was over the height limit so they shortened it and put the spike at a 45 degree angle.
+Nicholas Guzman Actually Six Flags owned it the since 1999. The reason was actually because it was built over the height limit (but they advertised it as 150 feet which I find pretty awesome for them to do XD) so they had to shut it down and make it 150 feet. I like this video because there aren't very many videos from before it was redesigned.
Elias Mertens why did they take out the brake on the spike?
ahw :d
i know right? that's just unsafe.
Jalen Thompson it is safe. If you want unsafe, look at China.
Unlike that NASA crap, the V2 is real
His is not the ride at six flags marine world
