V2 - Vertical Velocity, is a coaster that is a lot of fun to ride with a terrific launch and a great compliment to Six Flags Great Americas already exemplary line-up of coasters. The launch is both fast and intense, and the extra power that they provide the train with during the mid-section of the ride really makes this thing haul. The holding brake is also fun, and better experienced in the back (extra height), but the ending of the track on the front spike is better from the front, so take your pick or try them both. One tip - try to ride early in the day, since its obviously a shuttle with only one train and the line can build quickly.
