It's too popular to take out, I say just keep a mechanic in the back part of the station give him a newspaper and coffe and have a rotation.

That aint a bad idea, someone should go to Guest Relations and suggest that.

Actually, with the way rides have been running lately they should stick him by Raging Bull, or AE:B...

When I was there Friday, they had a mechanic just standing there. I don't know if it just broke or what. I don't think so. Maybe, they feel that they are sick of the exercise always traveling to that ride.

They should put one on RC too. Just kidding.

So was The Bat :wink:

Just kidding :D
Seriously though, Deja Vu has come a very long way. They finally have it operating on a daily basis. I think that if they wanted to remove it, it would have already happened. Especially at the low point of it's career(most of '02, and half of '03)
Finally Coaster Season!!

Apparently they've been doing some work on the second tower cable something (so any of you that saw a crane there today, no, they are not taking it out :lol:).

D Vu' shirts on clearance for $12.98 (to XL) at the front of the park store. Good deal, I bought one last night at C.A.D. for $10.41 (25% discount). Usually, roller coaster shirts are higher price. Too bad it was closed all day yesterday.

Or hopefully this eliminates the chances that the cable will snap. :lol:

I noticed on this website that it says that D Vu' has a total of 6 inversions. Is the reason of this is because the Cobra Roll includes 4 of these? Whenever I go on it doesn't seem 2 inversions on Cobra Roll each time, just one.

Please Clarify

Cobra Roll (2 inversions forward and 2 backward)
Loop (1 inversion forward and 1 backward)
Total: 6

Or do they count the two towers being inversion and Cobra Roll only 1 inversion backward and forward

Not to be rude but how or why would the tower be considered an inversion.

inver'sion n 1 The act of turning upside down

Is the tower upside down? No. Its vertical but not upside down.

http://www.coastergallery.com/CP/Raptor3.jpg <<Look at that picture of a cobra roll. How many times are you upside down? Two. So if you do it backwards thats 4 times upside down plus the loop two times. For a total of 6 inversions.

Just to get back to the subject. Deja Vu is most likely going to be here for another 10-15 years. Its not going anywhere soon. Disapointing to some, joyful to many.
