Has anyone heard yet that steel venom is now voodoo at DP? It's on rcdb, and looks very official. Just thought I 'd let you all know!!
Voodoo is an hand me down coaster with problems, as "Farenheit" is new Intamin coaster that looks pretty dang cool. Don't get me wrong I love the holding brake (if they still use it) on Voodoo, I wish Wicked Twister used it.
It's a little hard to install a holding brake on a twisted track. I've been on V2 at SFGAm and that really is a cool feature to the ride. I don't know which I like better though.

Superman/Steel Venom/VooDoo. How many times does one have to get a name-change??
Yes, WT would be cool if it used a holding break, but WT is special and unique and is glad to be different from the other impulses all over the country :)
wicked voodoo is fine how it is

Holding breadks make me want to gouge my eyes out... especially the one at Valleyfair, what a horrible idea.

It tends to be less of a "hold" and more of a stuttering, slamming, experience...

i've never been on any other impulse other than Wicked Twister. The rear spike is my favorite part because of that twist. With no twist, the only view you get from the back car is the second to last car. Instead of a 200 foot drop.
While I'm on the subject of WT, I always knew it swayed quite a bit, but stand back by the beach gate, where the Jet Ski/Parasailing office is, and you'll realize just how severe that back tower sways back and forth. I was very surprised by it the first time I saw that.

I didn't know that WT swayed... Thats kind of nerve-wracking
