Well, to me Deja-Vu is like a fine wine.It will age with perfection.Why do I say this? Well, give it a a couple more years and it will be a pretty reliable coaster and by that time it will have lost its fizzle. That means a constantly running coaster with average size lines.That my friends is a beautiful thing. :)
I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.

Like Everyone Is Saying....They Should just put new seats like they are doing or have done on SFMM and SFOG clones. 4 across instead of 2 and 2 that jut out from behiend. That loading is a pain in the a** because you have to let people get around to the other side before you can sit down, and I've ALWAYS hit my head of foot on the car or upper part of train. It drives mr crazy. Seat changing will opt for much faster loading if you ask me. :D

The day I was there last year (my first trip there ever I might ad) I went on Deja Vu. It was about a 3 hour wait and it was literally the hottest day of the year. I almost passed out. But I got a ride and I absolutely loved it. Then right after I got off, I looked back to watch the next ride and it had vallied. I was lucky that I rode it when I did because if I had been there 5 minutes later I would have beed stuck on it. Actually, I guess that would be kind of fun. And I've heard of people getting free fast-lane passes and stuff like that when they were on it when it did that. But so anyways it vallied the day I was there and it seems like it does that quite often. And after a while it will be doing that less and less (like with the wine thing). I don't think they should remove it and I don't think they will, like everyone's been saying.

I don't remember MM and OG ever doing that? I know everyone thought that maybe they were, just because they took the seats off of MM's Deja Vu... But I've heard that Deja Vu at MM is back up and running, and that the seats are the same.

Yes, I'm thinking the same thing. There weren't any announcements and pictures from this season have been posted from MM and there are pictures of the original seating on DV. Wow, this topic is really the source for rumors!

Yes the seats are unique and pretty cool but are they worth the confusion. Plus I think the inside seats are WAY too close to the car ahead.

Yeah I think the seats are worth the confusion. No matter what row you sit in on the outside seats you have a very open feel unlike 4 across seating like on Batman where you can't see that well from any row but the front.Dave who in his 52 rides on Deja Vu has never rode on the inside seats :)Except for Row 1A.

deja vu did break down during fright fest. i went on october 19th and it wasn't open ALL day :( i was so upset. i really hope they don't get rid of it. everyone who has ridden it said it was awesome. B&M coasters DO seem to run better and more regularly than any of the other ones but that doesn't mean the other ones aren't just as good of a ride.. just harder to get on. haha i hope to get on deja vu on opening day!!!

Uhh... No coasterguy... Someone on this forum said it wasn't going to be open till June. And besides, the park opens in less than 2 weeks so why don't we all stop debating over it and wait to see whether or not it is open.

I love Deja Vu. The seats have a really cool design. The ride itself is great. I am amazed that something like this could actually be built. Vekoma is a pretty small company but they made the impossible a reality. I have to give them that. The ride does have some problems but you have to keep in mind that it is a prototype. In fact our Deja Vu was never built or tested at the company site. SFGAm wanted the ride so badly that they just had them build the ride on site and have them test it there. Anyway there is no way that it is coming down anytime soon because it is ranked as one of the top coasters at the park. Personally i put on my list Raging Bull as the best ride at the park and Deja Vu is the number two best ride at the park. This ride will be a park favorite for a long time.
