- V2: Vertical Velocity is an inverted steel roller coaster located at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo, California. It is California's first and only Spiraling Impulse Coaster, built by Intamin AG and opened in 2001. It stands 150ft tall and reaches speeds of up to 70mph. The ride is tied with Medusa in the same park for Tallest Coaster in Northern California. The coaster’s track is essentially a large U shape that is loaded at the base and uses a series of LIMs to accelerate the train up each side of the track. One side of the track is twisted track (commonly called an inline twist) that ends in a straight section angled at about 45 degrees, the other side is a perfectly vertical straight track. Seating on the one train holding twenty eight riders is a standard overhead suspended design. When it was installed the ride was 186ft tall. Both sides of the track were vertical, the front spike twisted, and the rear spike straight with a brake segment at the top (designed to hold the train momentarily). In 2002, the ride was temporarily closed while the track was modified from 186 feet to the city ordinance limit of 150 feet. To lower the height, the front tower was tilted to a 45-degree angle and the reverse tower lowered to 150 feet. For the 2007 season, V2 was repainted red with maroon supports. Before the repainting, it had yellow track with blue supports, which made this ride's paint scheme very similar to Vertical Velocity at Six Flags Great America, which has yellow track/blue supports.
- V2: Vertical Velocity in Six Flags Discovery Kingdom ist eine Stahlachterbahn vom Modell Twisted Impulse Coaster des Herstellers Intamin, die am 8. Juni 2001 eröffnet wurde. Das Layout der Bahn ist recht einfach gehalten. Vor und hinter der Station befinden sich zwei Türme. Der hintere Turm besitzt ein Gefälle von 90°, während der vordere Turm lediglich ein Gefälle von ca. 45°, dafür aber eine 360°-Verdrehung besitzt. Dies ist auch einmalig bei diesem Modell, da bei anderen Bahnen diesen Modells beide Türme ein Gefälle von 90° besitzen. Der Zug wird mittels LIM aus der Station heraus auf rund 105 km/h beschleunigt und fährt den ersten Turm hinauf. Danach rollte der Zug diesen Turm wieder rückwärts herab und durch die Station durch, in der er wieder beschleunigt wird, auf den zweiten Turm hinauf. Der Zug pendelt also mehrmals zwischen beiden Türmen hin und her, während er in der Station neu beschleunigt wird.
