add a second loop, increase the height of the two lifts to 200 or more feet
make the lines go faster, and always have the ride open everyday of the season.

Extensively, or just for a limited time? So, if I understand correctly, Vekoma first worked on it, then Six Flags kicked them off and hired a separate maintenance team, and the regular maintenance crew also assisted that team? EDIT: You know your company (Vekoma) is screwed up when you get kicked off from putting a product together that you yourself designed. 
All of those Vekoma Giant Inverted Boomerangs are prototypes, so they're gaurenteed to have problems. That's why it's down so much.
And that's why Six Flags should not have built THREE of them! I still criticize them for doing that. It was a STUPID move!
Same here. It was not worth the loss of Sky Whirl. But it is fun.
Yes, some Great America maintenance guys did work on the ride. Ask some of the maintenance guys when you go back to work there next season, twixmix.
Yes, Six Flags should have not bought 3. They did and now they are dealing with it. I think our park is doing a good job and you guys give them a hard time for keeping a ride down when they have no choice.
Six Flags bought 4. There's one in Madrid too.
Oh yeah, I forgot about that one. 
I do agree with this. I am thrilled that the ride is finally open as consistently as it is, but whether or not it is now, it was still a bad move to construct four prototypes. The idea is to construct one and get it working reliably before constructing four. You wait until after it is working reliably to clone.
Nope, it's called Stunt Fall.
I'm excited I've made a thread that has had several posts!
Cool

A furious storm once roared `cross the sea, catching ships in its path, helpless to flee. Instead of a certain and watery doom, the winds swept them here to Typhoon Lagoon! *****Are you ready to Rockit?!*****
Yep, It's not that great. I'm just kinda knew here and nobody ever thinks of my posts.
It doesn't have an s at the end. The official website said so.

Isn't ours one of the most reliable if not the most reliable? They also did an amazing job painting and decalling it this year. It is almost like a brand new attraction. Also, just because it is closed one or two times that you go doesn't mean that it is never open. RIP: Trailblazer and Deja Vu...heck, even Alien Encounter

So when it goes into an inversion the bottom wheels arent touching?
Touching the track? Yes they do touch the track at all times.

Two words:
Less downtime And, I would keep the paint scheme, it's cool! "And that farm girl walked off with slippers off a dead woman? She must have been raised in a barn!" ~Wicked, an excellent musical
Two Words......New Crew.
THey need to get that girl that works Raging Bull over at Vu, shes a really good operator.
personally, I think Deja Vu is the best ride at the park and the colors are simple amazing, it makes the ride look exciting...
the only thing i would want to change is the downtime...but i think it gets better every year, hopefully in 06 they can keep the breakdowns to a minimum... RIDE TRACKER 2006-- Visits:2

Their crew is a good one compared to some other rides... "And that farm girl walked off with slippers off a dead woman? She must have been raised in a barn!" ~Wicked, an excellent musical
I think it would be cool if they launched Vu backwards up the first tower. It would also decrease wait time by a little bit. But the problem with that is the ride would have problems with the launch.
Build a twin track on the coaster. Then the vehicles can race against each other.
R.I.P. Splashwater Falls and Space Shuttle America. Deja Vu, enjoy Idaho.
Hear ye, hear ye: "After 45 years, Six Flags has stopped smoking."
