T2 is a steel roller coaster at Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom in Louisville, Kentucky. It is an SLC coaster that was the first suspended looping coaster to be used in North America. The full name of the ride is T2 – Terror to the Second Power.
T2 was originally painted red, which is why the station is painted red instead of black like the rest of the ride. Six Flags originally stated that the ride would receive a Batman theme. The ride was painted black to match all of the other Batman the Ride coasters, but the rest of the theme was never built.
The ride is disliked by some coaster enthusiasts due to T2 being extremely rough and painful to ride, a common complaint of Vekoma coasters. This type of coaster has been nicknamed "hang and bang" due to the rough ride.
T2 is also commonly noted to be visually unappealing. The black paint job is peeling in many places with red showing underneath. The T2 sign is also beginning to fall apart.
