SFMW Online posts several photos of the new front spike of Vertical Velocity at Six Flags Marine World. Construction looks to be complete and it's quite a difference! The retractable floor that is supposed to be added to the station has not yet been started.

Well, it looks wierd because we are not used to it as opposed to the other impulses.
I an wondering if they can market that new twist as a zero g-roll. It sure looks like one.

"The Peoples Elbow" or "The Spinaroonie?. Cant decide which is the most electrifying move in sports entertainment!!! LOL
That is the sorriest looking coaster I have ever seen! It may have a decent ride but that is just so sorry looking that even if it did give the greatest ride ever I wouldnt want it in my home park.
Blech!

Going trough it 6 times seems pretty exciting to me (3 forwards, 3 backwards)
I would be more than glad if one of my parks would get that kind of Impulse and the look looks pretty wicked to me.
Is it indeed true that the mods were done in part because they overstepped their height bounds per zoning regulations? If true, it would be public record. It'd be nice if a local could check it out.
Going forward through the spiral might not be a big deal, but I've got to think that going backward is going to be pretty amazing.

If they put it in a hole, they would have had to completely take it apart. It sure wouldn't have been open this season.
I hope it gives a good ride, because it sure doesn't look that great...
I think it should be an inversion. I say 45 degrees or less (on a heartline) is an inversion. Anymore than that and its a spike.
