^I dont know, i think that vu's anywhere are extremely overrated, they're fun a few times but then after thats, its just a vekoma but really, then its just really a borring down and back coaster.
Personally, I doubt Vu is going anywhere. To build something so big only 6 years ago, why would it go? Also, with all the problems, why would anybody want it?
But Freeze replacing OUR Vu would look good cause it would sit right next to BTR.
as much as I love Vu, I cant see it being around all that much longer. Land might be better used for something else with higher capacity and more uptime. I personally would like to see an Intamin Triple Wheel back, but either that or a coaster would be nice.
Favorite Wood Coasters: The Voyage, Ravine Flyer II, Thunderhead, Balder Favorite Steel: Voltron Nevera, Steel Vengeance, Expedition GeForce, Olympia Looping Parks visited: 232, Coasters Ridden: Steel: 894, Wood: 179, Total: 1073
Great America needs a new Triple Wheel, it at least worked half the time. Every time I mention the park and I mention Sky Whirl to someone they tell me they miss that ride so much. Unfortunately, I doubt it'll ever happen though.
Either that or an enclosed coaster with awesome lighting effects would be great. A S&S Screamin' Swing would be great too.

What an awesome idea! Seriously. I never thought of that before.
Theyre not going to take out one maintenence nightmare to add another maintenence nightmare. I can tell you Vu is more reliable than the Screamin Swing at SFNE.
DejaVu is not being removed.....and if it were it would probably just be a Thomas Town anyway.....so I dont see why anyone would want it to be .
DejaVu, V2 and other coasters are staying, and they are not going anywhere anytime. If our park was to add a coaster, don't worry we have a whole bunch of land.
Six Flags Ameirca as the number 1 park at SFI.... this is JOKE!

Wow, I didn't know Mark Shapiro posts on sfgamworld.com ***<edit> Due to a minor mental mistake, I had formerly typed the name Robert Shaprio (a famous attoryney) instead of Mark Shapiro. Thanks for the correction. </edit>***
Beware, Mr. Shapiro - you will read many comments about people dreaming about multi-million dollar coasters that you obviously won't be buying anytime in the foreseeable future as you have a hefty debt to worry about paying off first. But, don't crush their dreams, Mr. Shapiro. Let them continue to believe that one year soon SFGAm will be home to a $15+ million floorless or $15+ million Intamin rocket coaster, or maybe even both!
Also, don't let them know that *IF* you do decide to take out a coaster one day, that you *might* actually not replace it with another coaster.
Please, don't crush the hope and dreams of today's youth. Let them continue to believe that the future will be a bright one for Great America...that way they will always think of da Nile (the Nile) as a river in Egypt, and never believe it might possibly also have another meaning.
(pardon the horribly overused bad pun )
