Just go up to them and say "What? What's wrong?" They'll say something like "Where'd it go?" to which you respond by screaming "THEY TOOK IT!!!!" and running frantically to the exit.

Or if they say "where did it go" be like "they moved it to Idaho, so if you want to ride it...better get in line. Its going to take a few hours".

Yeah!^ I told my friend that it is going and he said that ride was really awesome and doesn't believe me. You has only been to SFGAm twice which was both with me and he never has rode Vu so I don't know what he is talking about! :lol:

I took some new pics today:

As you can see, the loop is gone except for some supports. Also, no tower work has begun(for those that thought that it had).

Also, to see the track pieces of the loop, go here(these arn't my pics): http://www.pbase.com/rob_drebel/dejavuremove

I took some today too but I only could get pics of the towers and crane so I won't bother to post them.

that crane appears no where close to tall enough to do anything to to the towers. I would think they will take down everything but the towers, then rent a larger crane for a short time to do the towers.

since they are removing it and splash water falls, they should build another roller coaster, like a water coaster or a floorless coaster!!!!!!

I myself would take a vertical drop coaster like oblivion at alton. I don't think there'd be enough room for a floorless and the only way that could happen is if, dare I say, they took Demon... :cry:

These were taken by a friend with permission.

Looks as if they tucked the missing longer support under this piece.

Screw that, will all pitch in on a trailer and nab one of the loop track pieces. It's not like they'll ever know it was gone and I'm sure the police won't notice a big green piece going down the road, lol! :lol:

Great pics Rct2Wizard! I'm gonna have to find a way to go down to there and check those pieces out.
