Vertical Velocity was another coaster that Bond wasn't quite ready to try earlier in the season.

Just starting off on coasters it was a bit unnerving to him to have nothing beneath his feet so he stayed away from these until July when I got him on Batman down in St. Louis. Here he is getting ready for his first ride on Vertical Velocity.

I love the kick in the pants you get when you're shot out of Vertical Velocity's station. You shoot back and forth picking up speed as you go until you can make almost to the top of the spikes at both ends of the ride.
