...if you mean the slightest thing can make the train catch not catch then they have to manual, a few times lately the brakes have gone off for some reason I have no clue of causing it to valley then almost causing it to valley, if some tard pulls on the airgates it makes the ride go down, and a bunch of other random crap?

I was there for one of the gate problems, and it seems stupid for it break just because of that. On the otherhand I wouldn't want the gate to be open and the ride going. The problem is that it's so big so people have to lean on it, or push it on accident. Sometimes, problems happen because of the ride ops too. I was on another ride at night and the girl (worker) said she broke it (on accident of course).

why dont any of the other dejavus have this problem, is it because this dejavu was a prototype or what?

I've heard Stunt Fall hasn't had nearly as much down time as ours.

Are you going to celebrate your 1000 post by treating everyone on the forums to a day at SF???

Everyone on here should have a pass already! Well if you want to get someone a pass, come to Wyandot or go to SFDL, it's only 49.99 - however I got mine early in the season for 39.99. Crazy, huh? That's like a one day admission to SFGAm! Back on topic - I heard Stunt fall is also doing terribly. You would think with Vekoma's expertise with all their boomerang installations they would have this under control sometime soon.

I do have one already. I don't think everyone does. There's other things than park admission (food, pay rides, games).
It' only a joke.

Anyway, it's only a year later, 2002. They plan rollercoasters ahead of time so maybe they didn't realize how bad the other ones were doing until it was too late. In other words, when the others were up, the pieces for Stunt Fall were probably already done.

Vekoma was kicked off the project, a LONG time ago, and I don't think SF is going to invite them back to work on it :wink:.

StuntFall was Manufactured at the same time as the other 3 GIB's were.

I dont think Stuntfall or all the D-vu's are breaking down because they are prototypes,,, i think that maybe some how that vekoma is miscalculating something........

Yeah, gravity, and different weights on different trains. This just has to deal with the two towers. Sadly, (pretend sad face) there are a lot more problems than just catching though.
