Well yeah, it was a fun ride. I think the ride I miss more though, is the ride that was there before Deja Vu. Sky Whirl. But eh, what can ya do?

Isn't there a Deja Vu topic already on THIS page? Anyway, for those who never rode it I bet they could care less by now. It has been 3 years. I rode it once. I never had so much fun and fear on a ride before. I wish I knew it was leaving earlier. THAT upset me more.

Put me in the Sky Whirl camp but yes alas, it's time had come. Now if Six Flags was all awesome like they'd convert Sky Trek into a giant swing tower and add a decent sized ferris wheel somewhere in the middle of the park, but what do I know? :D

MrRy10, HELL YES. It was my favorite ride at SFGAm & the fact that Silverwood can run it so well but we couldn't is awful. You know CP has 10x the amount of issues with TTD & WT but you don't see those goin anywhere. I just wish that SFGAm would have tried harder than they did is all.... I don't need the crew tellin me THEY DID, Ive heard it all before.

I'm sure a lot of people still miss Deja Vu, but it has been almost 4 years. Most have just moved on. Although, it was a mild disappointment that a 178 foot tall boomerang was replaced with a 2 foot trough known as Buccaneer Battle. But, oh well. Never went on Deja Vu all the years I went to the park pre-2008. Of Course, I always knew it as the ride that would never open! :lol: Deja Vu, you've been missed.

The ride was only really fun at SFGAm. Riding it at SFMM and Silverwood just isn't the same being that all the times I've been to those parks it has always been running...not to mention it wasn't the "best" ride in the park. When it was at SFGAm it was always a challenge. Either riding it in the first place, or riding it enough times to get stuck or have a miscatch. The ride always seemed pretty mysterious as a middle schooler for some reason and that is what I miss the most. Really that whole feel is what I miss a lot from the old Six Flags parks of the early 2000's. Rides like Mr Freeze, Batman Robin the Chiller, Zonga, Evolution (when at SFGAdv), Yankee Clipper, or any ride that just was not open 100%. I can see why parks have done clean up with rides like that but this is the one thing I actually kind of miss from the old Six Flags era.

Of course I miss it, that ride is my favorite. I even had a dream about riding it last night. Hopefully one of these years I'll get to ride it at SFMM.

Yes, I miss it a lot. It was a great coaster and very unique in the spot which stood. I always liked seeing that green and blue monster standing over me in the middle of the park, even if it wasn't running. When it was running the lines were nice and full. I regret not going to SFGAm in 2007.

Now a days, that low capacity, walk-on, boring looking ride sitting in DejaVu's spot is a joke.
Whose idea was it to replace a great ride with a shitty one, Shapiro's?

Jeez, moving on.
At least we still have Raging Bull...

This is why i hope the park will come to their senses and and get rid of BB which in return will give us more room for a new attraction. But i doubt it :(

Has BB been getting longer lines at all, is it even popular? How often do you see it with hardly no line and no one operating the guest water cannons that get the riders wet?

Is BB really worth it anymore?
