Vertical Velocity Six Flags Marine World
I have searched all over the web for a recent video of the Vertical Velocity at Six Flags Marine World (as it is now - 150 feet, not 186). I want to really understand what people are talking about. If someone has any idea, that would be appreciated.
I think the spike tower is at a 45 degree angle, not 90 degree angle. I read something of that nature online. I'll try to find that link. I know for a fact it's not the same as the one here at SFGAm.
When originally constructed it was a clone of V2 at SFGAm and SUE at SFWoA. The city of Vallejo has saddled the park with a height restriction of 150 feet, which V2 clearly violated.
When the city found out the park was forced to change the coaster. The rear spike was lowered to 150' and the front spike was changed from a 90* ascent to a 45* ascent.
mOOSH

Ridden it, and liked it more... The sense of slowing on the 45 degree incline is more pronounced, and really gives the feeling of "hitting the end." Pretty cool. The stalls on the first and third time are pretty cool, all sideways, etc... :)

No, that isn't the issue, I just need a video, I know what it looks like, I just want to "ride it." Thank you though, again, if anyone can help me out that would be great!
While I don't have a POV, I do have some offride footage. As you can see in the second clip, the holding brake isn't on very strong. Also, the video is in evening light (dark) what what the coaster does is still very visible. Download it here (about 4MBs in Real Media 9 format).
