How does a rollercoaster like that just randomly NOT make it through the Course of the track? but does ever other time
Trips Planned 2009: ?Unsure?
^Wind, weight (or lack of). And it's happened before on other rides, remember when dragster stalled at the top? Good stuff.

Another Vekoma that you might have seen a little more. It has valleyed a few times in this spot! Last edited by Suf03sfgam on October 23rd, 2006, 10:18 am, edited 1 time in total.

Jubliee Oddsey is usually closed as unless it can run a full train with no wind at all it generally wont make it around the course, that's been a problem with that ride since day one (along with newspaper documented Nipple Burn)
 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
^That must be horrible for the park having spent money on a ride that needs to be run at that sort of degree!
RIP: Trailblazer and Deja Vu...heck, even Alien Encounter

I suppose there would be no way to alter the rollercoaster and move the station and make the lift hill higher to make it be able to finish its course every time?

Hey great photo of Dejavu. I've never seen that before.

Why is the train on deja vue so short? its like half gone. Were they like testing different train lengths or something?

It was probably halfway being dismantled..or it broke itself.
The train is inbetween the Loop and the Cobra Roll.
Since they can't pull the train through in this situation, they dismantle it and re-assemble the train in the station. As for Jubilee Odyssey. They tried re-doing the course a little bit. I think the shortened the loop, but as you can see, it hasn't done much.
If look closely youll see the other half of the train in brake 2 on the other side of the loop, I remember the day this happened (sometime in May of 02). You can tell from this pic that they seperated to the hitch bars and used a crane to pull it through the loop so instead of taking it off the track they can just winch it. Also I remember after this exact valley hapenned they built the loop unload platform  .
^ Correct!
