Like, would you rather have a car that you keep having to take in and spend money on it every few weeks....although it is fast and fun to drive? Or would you rather have a normal slower car that is cheap and requires little maintenance?
The ride can only operate in warm, dry weather. And that kind of weather doesn't happen 100% of the time. There is already 4 rides which do not operate in the rain.
-whizzer- the hot track cannot get wet. -DeJaVu- if it did run in the rain it would probably have a mis catch. -Spacelys- the tires don't operate in the rain very well. -Batman- although I don't see this all the time, the oil drips on you if it gets wet.
So right there, 4 rides which cant operate in bad weather. So they are better of getting rid of DeJaVu for something else in the future. Although, I don't see why they cant wait to take it down, until they are getting a new ride for sure.
You should hear Viper in the rain. Jeeeeeeeze, those tracks can squeal

I wouldn't be surprised if Wolf is ever required to close for weather in the future...

If SWF is going NO WHERE, then why would they REMOVE it from the six flags website, along with Triple Play and Space Shuttle America. I don't give me that "It was closed for frightfest stuff"
There is no reason they would remove these rides from the website.
People also said they took SSA america off the website to change its name for a new movie, but there is also no reason it would take them that long to TAKE IT OFF and then add a new name on, they would leave it up until it was due to change.

-we don't have one -its family friendly -its is large capacity -it doesn't take up much space -and isn't a maintenance nightmare
Plus it would make our skyline look much better.
Or maybe we could get "Sky Whirl" back???
I would love to see a ferris wheel in SFGAm. It would add to the backdrop of the Eagle from 94. YEAH! Lets do that. Lets get a Ferris. Bueller???
On a side note to this.....Dungeon of Doom was a JOKE! Sorry. Amlings in Melrose Park was alot better. That dropping balls bit was a laugh, everyone laughed at that.
