Demon was down for 10 min. this morning at around 11. Raging Bull was also down for maybe 15 min. at around 6.

Stop asking. I'd say there's a 50% chance that it would be open that day, or less. I'll let the experts tell you. Last I heard, there's a small chance it'd open next weekend. Who knows, something may go wrong again...

Told me the same. The eight ball has spoken. Deja vu will be closed on the 20th.

All I know is that the train is on and the catchcar has returned and reattached on Sunday. Photo was taken mid to late day on Sunday. The ride might be able to open this weekend if they can get the cycles and certification done during the week.

Hopefully it's open more this season. Do all Vekoma rides have a tendency to close down like Vu does?

most Vekoma rides operate rock solid, though most Vekoma rides are clones and all bugs were worked out a long time ago. Some of the newer rides are buggy though, mostly due to how complex they are, like DV and the Flyers.

DejaVu will not be operating this weekend, but from what i've heard if everything goes on track both DejaVu and Sky Trek Tower should be open for next Saturday.

yeah, was at the park Friday, there was a crane and some work was being done on DV and it looked complete for the most part, and Sky Trek was no longer stranded at the top, it moved around a few times during the day usually moving between ground level and 1/4 of the way up.

Will be nice to have both open again, park visit just isnt complete without a ride on an observation ride of some sort :)

Love the update for Vu. Sky Trek Tower was operating quite a bit today with mechanics working on it. Looked good. Deja Vu didn't move but everything looked normal in the station as well.

BTR was running 1 train all day on Thursday, the other train just got brand new harnesses that do look somewhat different.

Whizzer was running the third train empty all day Thursday and should be ready to run now.

Demon also has its third train, it was sitting right next to the track on Thursday, it should be ready really soon.

Whizzer and Demon are now in 3 train op, along with Raging Bull (which has been all season).
