Fakten: V2 was closed for the start of the 2002 season while it was modified to be 150 feet tell. There is a 150 foot height limitation imposed by the city (the V2 was about 186 feet tall).  This explains the mystery why the press releases claimed 150 feet tall for the V2 while other Six Flags parks with identical roller coasters advertised about 186 feet tall.  I guess someone from the city noticed it was a bit taller than advertised.  So, the forward tower was changed from 90 degree vertical tower to 45 degree inclined tower.  The rear tower is still vertical, but shortened to 150 feet.
