Don't expect it to be. Wow, Some of us thought that they were going to open just for CAD then Brian the front of the line guy said maybe then it never opened. Oh-well. It pissed everyone off that the best ride in the park isn't open for CAD AGAIN. Can we shoot for three times?
Watch out theres a new Hurricane in Gurnee, IL!
Haha I was there when somebody said that they were going to open for CAD, but I didn't want to wait and went to Raging Bull then came back and there was the unhappy sign of "THIS RIDE WILL NOT OPEN TODAY"

They hosts were saying it wouldn't open all day.
DejaVu was closed all day today(7/22/04) or at least until 4. It most likely didn't open today at all.
They were testing a lot starting around 12. Then the brakes after the station slowed the train and it stopped for 5 minutes. Then more extensive testing with maintenance. Then the funniest(well not really) thing happened. The ride made it all the way through the course caught the catch car at the end then started to go down. Then there was a loud sound and then there was a cracking noise and the train bolted to a stop. A big cloud of smoke came from the cables. The ride stopped testing for the day. Trip report from 7/21-7/22 coming tonight.
thats not good
It's green. It's blue. It's all over you! Enjoy your ride on Déjà Vu
That doesn't sound good at all, blown a cable motor possibily?

I hope not. I think that's what was wrong with SFOG's Deja Vu this year, that kept it down from March through the end of May.   Finally Coaster Season!!
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!
Please be fog, Please be fog, Please be fog!!!! "I've been staring at the world, waiting. All the trouble and all the pain we're facing. Too much light to be livin' in the dark. Why waste time? We only got one life. Together we can be the CHANGE. So go and let your heart burn bright"
THATS NOT FUNNY. I went today ( thursday ) I dont know what day it is but it was not open at all but I didnt see the smoke but I got there like at 3. But De Ja Vu wont probly open till August or even Fright Fest or maybe closed for the rest of the season. But today was a good day to go.
Deactivated for not following Forum Rules
If you're talking to me, I really mean Nooooooooooo!!! There's no sarcasm here. I also hope there wasn't smoke.

Not my baby!
 Danget, ME NEED VU!!! 
I wouldnt be at all suprised if its up in a week
Around the world and back
Yeah, it could open up tomorrow as far as I know. They did get the train back into the station, so maybe it's not a blown cable motor? Though it was the first thing that came to my mind. It is definatley something to do with the cable and/or the motor. For Hispanoway, it was just a puff of smoke and then it stopped. It wasn't smoking for longer than 5 seconds. It was weird.
Wow, that sounds interesting. Doesn't sound good whatever it was... I'm hoping it wasn't anything too serious, I would hate for one of my favorite rides to be down much longer.
:lol:
What a pathetic piece of dutch crap
 . I hope it's open on Thursday, but I'm not counting on it.
I'm not sure how serious it was(or if it is normal?) but there was at least 8 people around the ride when I left the area.
Today it was cycling over and over and over and over and over again until afternoon, I saw a person on it once (not sure if it was maintenence or lead/supervisor). In the afternoon it stopped cycling and maintenence started working on it. I left at 5.
I knew the motor didn't go out because they did get the train back down. The ride is a total piece of you know what. It has the weirdest noise and it can't work properly.
Now I think the thing that happened was normal and that the ride just sucks(maintenance wise), not ride wise. I still don't know why smoke came off of the ride when it jolted.
I was on IW today and I passed D Vu to get to it. There were two workers guarding the entrance. This was around 7:30. I saw smoke from IW by the D Vu tower. After that, the workers left.

That is weird. And Ilovthevu, nice signature.
(And you know why I'm mad)
The only reason they're out there is to keep a line from forming when it's cycling.
I was there yesterday. I saw workers in the station. But i never saw any smoke. What do you think the smoke was from. They really should just rebuild the whole ride. They would probly save money.
Or just kidnap a Vekoma Engineer. (Which we might have done already...)
