Well, the title says it all! I think that both equal themselves out. Both have their strengths and weaknesses.

I never rode either of them, but I'm guessing Wicked Twister is better than both

it used to make you weightless all the way up, now it just does it for a split second.

I rode Superman:UE. Which the first V2 was cloned from, and I think it's a better ride then Wicked Twister. The new V2 looks werid as hell. I never been on it myself, but just looking at, I don't see it being better then before. It looks more like a barrel roll/inline twist then a 'spike'.

I've been on WT and it's amazing, but there's one thing that I don't know about VV or S:UE, Is it LIM launched, or Reversed inclined?

S:UE is pretty much the same as WT, but shorter, and the back spike is straight. The back spike has a brake hold that holds the train for a few seconds, and that is the best part of the whole ride.
