They do. I can attest to that. XD "Oh, hey, I wonder what this button does?" *PUSH* Is it like, a tradition for them to do that? We've been going to Six Flags Great America for years since the 90's, and they still do it.
@@Whimsy3692 Good question! I've never worked there and haven't thought to ask the employees about it so I don't know for sure, but I always assumed it was something they were taught/instructed to do during training, or that an operator did it once years ago when V2 first opened & it just became a tradition.
We went last weekend and they would say “clear. Clear for launch........GOODBYE!” And the other thing he said after a little bit of a wait was “sorry about the short delay, but now you’re on your way!”
The scariest part about this ride, and I’m getting chills just thinking about it, is the anticipation and the build up while in line and sitting on the ride before it starts. Once you’re riding it though you never wanna get off. This ride is so fun!
I was prepared for them to do it on 1 or 2 but they just said "one.. two.. three" and then waited like 10 seconds and then pressed it. Scary shit maine
The first time I rode V2 was on May 30th of this year. From my experience, I had great fun but it seemed so scary going up in the air and stopping for like two or three seconds, especially if your feet are dangling. I was terrified, when I thought, "Hmm, what if the ride stops in mid-air?" I was so happy when the ride was over...I got Dippin' Dots!
this was my first time on this today and it's honestly not that bad. it's super fast but in my opinion your stomach doesn't even drop. it's really fun though 😛
I’m gonna go to Great America on a school field trip later in the school year and I’m currently studying the rides to be prepared, and last year we went to Cedar Point and I found out that they removed Wicked Twister and I never got to ride it and I was really sad but Vertical Velocity is basically an exact copy of Wicked Twister so I’m gonna ride this one.
Originally, the ride had a stopping brake there that would hold the entire train for a brief moment, throwing the riders into their harnesses before falling again. I guess they had some common sense knocked into them when they removed it ;).
Actually the only one of these to have the holding brakes is Possessed at Dorney Park in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Wicked Twister at Cedar Point is actually the only one to have the back spiral, which was added since it is the tallest and fastest of it's kinda, so it's an extra bit to help set it apart.
I dont know what you're talking about. The ride is fully functional. Im a vertical velocity lead this year. It works and will be operating this season.
Justine Panzeca I remember early in its operation that the third pass through the straight tower, not the twisted tower, that the train would be stopped for a second or two before dropping into the station. Now it just does 2.5 laps (that means 5 passes through the station instead of the original 6). I was told that the vertical brake was broken.
however, possessed has a holding break on the back spike that stops you, looking straight down, on the final circuit. Which, in my opinion, definitely adds to the overall experience.
That's why I was wondering what the acceleration was like, although it doesn't go too quick to start, the acceleration could be within a small period of time making it better.
The ride operators for V2 are the best, they love messing with everyone 😂 it's a huge reason why I love riding it.
They do. I can attest to that. XD

they just give us more reasons to be terrified before the ride lmao
I remember riding it this one time, and the operator started counting down from 10, but we never actually got to 1 😅
We went last weekend and they would say “clear. Clear for launch........GOODBYE!” And the other thing he said after a little bit of a wait was “sorry about the short delay, but now you’re on your way!”
my hat is in the lake at the bottom on the back hill. RIP.
Rest in peace hat.
why would you wear it
rip your (whatever color it was)hat
f
Last time i went i got on batman without realizing i hadnt taken off my hat and had to hold on to it the whole ride 😂

OMG YES i was so nervous in the line but once i got on it was SOO fun
the ground literally shakes when the coaster runs by its nerve-racking
Yess
0:38 That one dude who said "OH MY GOD" Got me laughing bro😂😂💯
Lolol
He broke the Third Commandment of God
Well that was offensive to God he should of said oh my gosh or oh my Lord instead
@@marcsoshiesty he just freaked out don't take it serious
@@marcsoshiesty merch
"OH MY GOD" 😂😂😂😂😂
It's a fun ride but they trick the operater says 3 2 and boom your off or he says let me tell you a joke and he presses it
Anthony Vela 10... 9... 8... 7... 23... 42... 11... 0 (start ride)
I am 10 and I when ton that
they did that to me🤣
I was prepared for them to do it on 1 or 2 but they just said "one.. two.. three" and then waited like 10 seconds and then pressed it. Scary shit maine
They also do that on full throttle! LOL!
The scariest part about this ride is the start because it's so fast 😂 but the rest is just fun.
I got on this yesterday and what scared me was when it dropped forward
M
@@3mi_249 agreed. I didn’t know I could scream as loud as I did on that ride XD
i love the back seat since its the most brutal
Hello eduidi I didnt think i would see you here
why are you doing this to me
Back seat is awesome.
MegoZero I was on the backseat at the one at discovery kingdom it was so sick
Wtf😂😂😂😂😂😂
"I just came in my pants" -roller coaster dude
+Michael Morales Didn't you just say that same thing though . .
+Ndia Liphford it was fixed
It’s Robb
Tf
Time frame? 😂😂
It’s actually really weird not seeing Goliath there, you get the best angles of it from this ride
Bryan Terry it probably wasn’t there yet. Goliath is new.
@@lovingmiranda123 That’s what they meant
@@harleystubbs6199 no shit
even if goliath was there you aren’t going to be paying too much attention to it lol
I keep thinking my legs are going to be chopped off at that one part.
I just LOVE the sounds of those Intamin LIMs.
Is that what those screeching sounds were? I was always curious to what that was, at first I thought it was screams when I was younger
Me too.
when I went on they said 10 9 8 7 1 GO
I’m going on this. In July 2019 July 1 oh god I am nervous but I’m sure I’ll have fun on it my friend got on this 3 times and he calls it his baby 😂😂
In my opinion this ride feels much better in the back row
HELL NO
Hell no that’s the scariest part
I was sitting on the seat before they launched the ride, I almost dipped😭good thing I stayed tho bc that was fun even though it was scary🤣
They trolled the living hell out of us on this today:
"Hold on a second...just kidding, goodbye."
Wait a minute, I need new underwear :S

0:57 AHHH!!!! Terrifying!! 0_0
God I miss living in Illinois...I was little when we'd go to six flags, but wholly hell V2 was the bomb diggity. Nothing beats the first time
this was my first time on this today and it's honestly not that bad. it's super fast but in my opinion your stomach doesn't even drop. it's really fun though 😛
One of my favorite rides at Six Flags, I rode it 3 times in a row yesterday! But we got stuck on it yesterday😂
I was there today and went on this for my 1st time. It was awesome!!!
this ride was absolutely amazing omg

That was fun. Reminded me of all the times I rode Steel Venom at Valleyfair! Front seat is by far the best.
you have no CLUE how scary and fun this ride is
OHHHHHHH MAH GAWWWWWWDDDDD
hi eleven year old alchemist how ya doing
BEST RIDE EVER!!! Went on it today!! Last year I chickened out and this year OMG !!!
the feeling you get when the rides starts >>>>>
I love this ride(: they never tell you when you're going to launch so it makes it 10x scarier with the anticipation!
Does it cause nausea? or is it just really fun
This looks like fun but i dont wanna die... Lol
You won’t?
Mr Gold Man now im willing shit that was 5 years ago adulting is hard 😔😂
Angelique Marie LOL YOU ANSWERED A COMMENT FROM 5 YEARS AGO
Mr Gold Man fuck yeah i did 😂
Angelique Marie damn I thought you were dead
Really fun ride! It's scary, but it's a amazing ride.
The scariest part of riding this is the launch noise.
you go up THAT high on the drop in the front seat ?! imagine what that drop must be like in the back seat.
I love the types of rides :D
One of my favorite rides at six flags great america i would recommend it 100%
the inital launch was a little a little scary. i laughed the rest of the ride! fantastic
This type of ride is amazing.
This ride is crazy scary. This video does not nearly depict how fast this coaster goes . But Its really fun
I've been on V2 and it's probably my favorite
This ride is amazing
OMG this ride I just love it I went on this one like 3 times 😂
That looks fun as hell! Reminds me of Rush at Thorpe Park for some reason...
Originally, the ride had a stopping brake there that would hold the entire train for a brief moment, throwing the riders into their harnesses before falling again. I guess they had some common sense knocked into them when they removed it ;).
i think a 3 sec clip from this when you say oh my god is gonna be the best advert for this ride haha
haha, yeah just sitting in my computer chair and I could feel my stomach leap into my throat >.<
I love that ride it was so much fun and super fast.
I was at 6 flags great America just yesterday! It was amazing
I WENT TO SIX FLAGS THE OTHER DAY AND THAT WAS SO AWSOME
It was my first time on this yesterday, it was so much fun and almost wet my pants.
this is my favorite ride ever
Good ride
The only ride I’ve came a crossed that the back seat is the scariest lol great ride
0:47 oh look there the butterfly farm got me dead 🤣
The best ride love it
Me the whole time with my hands hanging on:
I got stuck on this ride. Fun times 😢
I was scared at first to go on this ride but it's really fun

Its fun,better than I thought
The operator for me goes: “Hey do you guys want me to give you a countdown or…” LAUNCH!!
I got on it , it was Hella dope!!!
It's just that one launch. ...
I love this ride
thats sick!!!! don't have the guts to ride something like this loll
Yeah! You came to my local park!
Nice, bro!
I should go test out this ride.
I miss when V2 at Discovery Kingdom had this layout.
Love this ride. I went on it once and it was amazing
i like this
i love the one in six flags discvery kingdom cuz it has the loops on it
i love that ride
I just completely let go and didn't even hang on, it was so much fun!!
It's too bad the vertical brake doesn't work anymore and they refuse to fix it.
I dont know what you're talking about. The ride is fully functional. Im a vertical velocity lead this year. It works and will be operating this season.

Now it just does 2.5 laps (that means 5 passes through the station instead of the original 6). I was told that the vertical brake was broken.
I know exactly what you're talking about. I just rode "Possessed" the other day at Dorney Park. The break works on that one.
I remember riding when the brake worked
***** That's great but the Vertical Velocity coaster is a different coaster and that one has a broken vertical *brake.
What type of camera does one use to capture video like this? I need one.
I was so afraid on this coaster but had the best time of my life when 8 of my friends went that day.
my dad went on it said never going on it again xD
Can we be real,that looks hella fun
I like it when it stops at the top.
I went on it yesterday most fun I ever had
Convert to 3D and wear a glasses... switch to 720p and feel the FUN!
the voice in the background sounds like hes getting killed! LOL
however, possessed has a holding break on the back spike that stops you, looking straight down, on the final circuit. Which, in my opinion, definitely adds to the overall experience.
My head was rushing from watching that
What if it was the other way around? You face down when doing the twist.
Like the one at cedar point that got taken down?
when I saw this the first time I taught the construction peoples were still building this but then I saw a rollercoaster on it then I realized
Hey, the Tidal Wave of today!
I went on on this ride andd itmwas crazy fun I went on it 19 times on it great ride
I also went on the goliath 2 times cool ride
the guy saying @ 0:58- 0:59 " Hello, my god!!!" so funny :) lol
Silly.Luke. Skywalker he said Oh my God u moron
I used to ride all of these rides at six flags great America it’s crazy how now I just won’t do it lol
I just spent 2 hours trying to figure out why this ride is similar to wicked twister at Cedar Point.
yes!
I freak out on the launch
I'm going to try to go on this ride hopefully I will
That's why I was wondering what the acceleration was like, although it doesn't go too quick to start, the acceleration could be within a small period of time making it better.
Miss my days
Intamin LIMs have the most satisfying sound
Brace yourself for the 70mph upchuck💀💀💀💀
