Wow, my first Intamin spiral impulse coaster, and what a fun experience at that. The launch was very fun, and the forward tower was an extremely unique experience. I havent been on the vertical spiraling impulse coasters yet, so I cant compare them, but I thought the corkscrew-looking twist while at about a 45-degree angle was incredibly entertaining. During the first pass the coaster only makes it to about mid-way through the spiral, so if you are in one of the middle seats you get a neat, sort of hanging upside-down sensation. The second pass continues all the way through this element, so you get a good flip both forward and backward. There is yet a third and final shot forward that also goes about as far as the first did, once again suspending many riders in a rather unusual position. And lets not forget the back tower. This was straight up and down. Unlike some impulse coasters where I know there is a brief moment when the brakes grab the train to a stop, this one didnt have that, but I dont care. What a perfect sensation of going straight up backwards and straight down forwards. Much like the Deja Vu coasters, this, to me, is one of the greatest feelings a coaster can provide. I think V2 Vertical Velocity is a real winner!
