deja vu faster??

by **nkavy71** on August 18th, 2003, 9:51 pm

Well, from my understanding Deja Vu is closed now. But when it was open for a few weeks in early to middle August... I was there, and is it just me, or did the new Deja Vu train run a lot faster than the older one?? It seemed like last year, during the very few days it was open, their old train went through the course slower. What do you guys think?

Well it felt faster to me, but honestly I can't judge fairly. The last time I had rode the ride it was 30 degrees out so it was running slower then normal.

i really don't think it ran any faster than it did with the original train on it, you probably more or less forgot just how fast of a ride it was after not having ridden it for over a year. i think people just told themselves it was a cruddy ride, and were surprised at how much fun it was when they rode it again this summer....

To me it seems like its running faster and smoother.

So is deja vu back and running now? What caused it do not be open this weekened?

I went yesterday and Deja Vu is still closed and the ride ops didn't seem to know why.

That means it's not planned downtime. And yes,its faster. It now has bigger Upstop wheels,I don't know why that makes it faster though.

I feel as though the DV is faster.. the 4 times i have been on it this year makes me beleive that it is in fact faster. But more importantly, What is the deal with DV now? Is it now permanently closed for the season? Will it ever be fixed? I love the ride. This year was the first time in 3 years that i could finally ride it, and i want to ride it the 5 times i plan on going the rest of this year and the Many many times i plan on going in 04.

so is dejavu open yet

by **Aero737** on August 24th, 2003, 5:58 pm

Well, according to coasterguy's trip report, it is. Now that the park is only open on weekends, Six Flags should be able to do enough maintnence in the 5 days that the park isn't open. Lets give them that time to keep our DeJaVu from looking like Magic Mountain's DeJaVu. :roll:

by **coasterkid86** on August 24th, 2003, 8:31 pm

Some people can't pick up sarcasm these days...

by **goldmember** on August 24th, 2003, 9:01 pm

Maybe because it was a stupid statement. :wink:

by **InsaneNewman** on August 24th, 2003, 9:32 pm

Sarcasm is a little hard to pick up in typing... unless of course it is delivered by Travis. Whenever he speaks, you can just assume that he's being sarcastic! :lol:

by **coasterkid86** on August 24th, 2003, 9:36 pm

im sorry i, im an idiot i don't pick up sarcasm. but i thought in this forum you actually told what goes on not mocking the person with sarcasm!!!!!!Mod note: Please use proper spelling and grammar. This includes use of capital letters. Thanks.

by **coasterswimgurl12** on August 28th, 2003, 1:28 pm

i think its definatly running faster, especially through the boomerang

by **coasterkid86** on August 28th, 2003, 3:25 pm

It goes faster going forwards in the boomerang than backwards.

by **nkavy71** on August 28th, 2003, 5:49 pm

You know it's pretty funny just watching some of you guys trying to be sarcastic just cause "Travis" is. It's the cool thing to do now I guess....And yeah, coasterkid86 is right. Instead of being sarcastic why don't people just tell them what the deal is instead of being all *I know so much more than you about roller coasters and you are inferior*?

by **goldmember** on August 28th, 2003, 8:49 pm

What the hell are you talking about?

by **nkavy71** on August 28th, 2003, 11:52 pm

What do you think I'm talking about? Read the thread from top to bottom. and I'm also talking in general not just about this thread

by **coasterkid86** on August 29th, 2003, 7:04 am

So is anyone going tomorrow? Let me know if its open, I'm going Sunday.

by **coasterswimgurl12** on August 29th, 2003, 11:28 am

yup im going this whole weekend (including monday) so i'll immediatley update everyone whether its open or not.....but i really hope so!

by **coasterzak** on August 29th, 2003, 2:36 pm

Newbies... cool down, this is the best coaster site out there... sure we're gonna have some fun with sarcasm! Travis didn't invent sarcasm - or... did he? :?:
