I've gotta go with the big Green lawn ornament on this one. Low capacity, long lines, never open, and isn't as thrilling as it once was. The only thrilling parts for me are the first spike and the possibility of a miscatch.

Have to agree with Woodland (for once). I don't ask much of a ride, but it would be nice to have one that works and moves crowds. Plus this hunk of junk got the park sued by the IL Attorney General for false advertising.

American Eagle Red. It's my least favorite coaster left on the list.

I knew eagle blue would lose. I voted dejavu, because in round 8 i voted for viper but i was the only one who voted for it, so i would like to see dejavu leave instead of eagle.

Don't get me wrong I love viper but it's not worth round 10 plus
American Eagle is the best wooden coaster in Illinois.

And explain to me how deja vu got sfgam seud for false advertisment.

Im going with Viper, just hasn't been running as well as it could this year. American Eagle Red however has been running great with very light trims, and dare I say better then Viper.
Go Bulls!

People came to the park in 2001, expecting the ride to be open. Intense advertising for the ride was occurring, but Dejavu was not yet open.

VU! Vote off the vu! Excuse me while I go start a "Die Vu Die" ad campaign.

Just kidding. I like Vu. And even though it's gotten better in the last year or so, it's broken down a lot. And i belive this is my Third vote for vu, so maybe third times the charm.

Six Flags Advertising campaign that year was something along the lines of "Two great coasters in one great year". All of their promotional stuff including the website carried this tagline, and also had footage of a Deja Vu running (might have been test run from another park). After recieving many complaints, the IL Attorney General brought suit against SF Great America, who changed their ads later that year. I believe they changed the ads by simply adding an "Open Soon" logo in front of all pictures of D'Vu.

I travelled 300 miles to the park expecting D'Vu to be open first week of June that year. They had a sign in front saying the ride was "temporarily closed" and an op out front saying the ride might open today. Despite seeing construction cranes working on the ride right behind the op, I believed what he was saying. After reading about the suit and how long it was into the season before the hunk of junk finally opened, it was a long time before I visited again, and I still have yet to trust SFI again.

Vu again - The way Eagle red is moving this year and Viper just being a great coaster a woodie should win the whole thing

AE Red is running a lot better than Viper this year. It was a surprise to me.

I think Vu should last another round. I'll go with Batman, last time I rode it, my blood rushed to my feet. Very uncomfortable.

Inline twist or heartline twist.

I voted for Vu; w00dland put it well.
