While riding AE last year there was a squirrel on the (hand) rail on the red side that was eating a pretzel he found on the ground. It was sort of funny since it was at the very top of the lift. Im amazed he got up there without falling or being hit by one of the trains.

Here's a good one. Last summer, my friend Kaylie and I were on Bull, It was her first time, and it was pitch black outside. When we got to the part where you go up the hill and they brake you at the top for a few seconds, she realized that her phone was ringing. Well she thought the ride was gonna be over and I yelled "Don't!",but she answered and got in the words "Hi Matt", (her boyfriend), and then "Holy s**t!!!", because we started to drop at that point. Once we were in the station, all I said to Matt (who was still on the phone), was "I tried to warn her, but she's a total blonde!''

Then, at BGT, my friend and I had this guy in the row behind us that puked on the station the second the ride had stopped. We were so happy, because Sheikra's seats have a cool design where the people behind you are sitting higher than you, and if he'd done it a second before, it would've been all over us!

But the worst one was getting stuck on the indoor Men In Black Ride at Universal Orlando for over an hour. The entire time, it was completley dark in there, and you couldn'tsee anything except the red EXIT signs. They finally started the ride after that.

^My aunt had a similar thing happen to her on Pirates of the Caribbean, however, instead of making her wait there, she got to get out of the boat and walk through the scenery and out the emergency exit. Too bad they didn't let you do that!

Another one...

Last July, in the evening there was lightning nearby. They closed all the rides. Sometime after 9, there was still lightning. We're walking past Deja Vu and I stand there in total shock. It just opened back up along with all the other rides. I rode it twice during the lightning. It was pretty neat haha.

^Heh, that's post 50,000 in the Six Flags Great America Forum.

I was in line for Deja Vu when an old lady and her kid got on. When they got back the lady smacked her kid in the back of his head and yelled at him, "DONT EVER MAKE ME RIDE THAT AGAIN YOU LITTLE S#IT!!!" It made me LOL.

^No way!!! How stupid can you be. You can feel the intensity of that coaster just by looking at it. What was she expecting? The ride to be like Jesters Wild Ride....

Unless there's a MAJOR breakdown or if there's an accident on the ride, DejaVu is usually open.

Sorry for the late reply but where are these motors that got wet on splash???

Sure about that?

If there's the slightest doubt it wont operate correctly, it's not gunna open.

Deja Vu is a ride that..well..needs to "break itself in" every season.
It takes a few test runs..

Dejavu is an awesome ride,but I only got on it 3 times this season because of the breakdowns.I wouldn't mind getting Dejavu taken away and six Flags putting a coaster that actually worked more times than Dejavu,that's just my opinion though don't get mad about it! :D

I'm not quite sure. We didn't realize we did anything until we were just sitting there in the water at the end and the guy came out to "calm us down". He said that our boat's splash got a part wet that isn't normally wet and sort of like shocked it or something. I don't know, I just laughed. Especially when he didn't want to give us our exit line passes because we were responsible for it. 8)

I thought these were pretty entertaining.

I got stuck on the Bull on the lift b/c some guy was trying to get out of the restraints, and also in the brake station
Got stuck on the Eagle in the station and the said that we couldn't get out until they figured out what happened, and I also got stuck on the Eagle on the lift for some unknown reason.
Got stuck on the wizzer in the brake station
Got stuck on batman on the lift
Got stuck on Superman in the brake station
I know i've been stuck on a lot of ride but that is b/c i am always on the ride @ the wrong time
Go Fright Fest 2007!
