Impulse?
What exactly is an impulse coaster? I know WT is one, but is that where it gets launced by LIMs or something along those lines?

It's just the model name given to Intamin's U-shaped LIM-powered shuttles.

Scientifically speaking, Impulse is the measure of change of direction, as in momentum. Fitting name for this ride, eh?

Some of them have brakes on the back spikes (Superman: Ultimate Escape) and others (at least one) have twistage opn the back spike (Wicked Twister).

One has a 45 degree inline twist as the front spike, with the LIM holding brake (V2: Vertical Velocity @ Six Flags: Marine World)

There is also a V2 at Great America... I think. My cousins said there is. If not, sorry for the crap info.
