Back to Dejavu, it has always had problems with misparks. I noticed a few misparks when I was there last week, but that's pretty normal.


Yes it did valley and there are obvious signs of it valleying on the track by looking at where they had to remove a piece of track.


Yeppers! The keen observer will notice this to be true if they are looking at the right spot. :)

And despite that issue, the ride was ready to go on opening day with three trains. Nice work, maintenance! ;-)

It's really cool to see the track bend like that.

Haha, I can't wait to see 50 people looking at Bull's track next time I go.

Clearly, as you can see the pieces have been taken apart and put back there. And you only knew that cause someone told you where exactly to look, which That Guy showed me.

DejaVu opened yesterday and she was running beautifully, like a tank. No problems from what I saw, the catches were smooth, it was a great sight. Hopefully this continues and Vu has a great year.

RB vallied twice, after the turn-around and in the frenzy.

if it's a timeframe, I say within one month, if you want an exact date, I pick July 3.

Hundreds of park employees gather together and push it around the track.

There are multiple ways. In the case of Bull, take a piece of track off and take the cars off and put them back on in the station. They could also take the wheel assemblies off and hoist the cars off, but that is a lot of work doing it that way. Also, if possible, they push it up a hill, which has happened too before. Lastly, some coasters may have a wench system where they attach it to the train and just pull it up with a cable.

^ Yeah, he can push a roller coaster train like nothing I'm sure. For those of you who don't watch wrestling and don't know who Mark Henry is, he is dubbed "The World's Strongest Man", FYI.

Mark Henry??

No way. It's totally Chuck Norris.

My friend Jessi works on Vu crew. You should say hi to her, she's cool.
I thought it was interesting that she's trained on vu and on american eagle so that she has something to do when vu doesn't work; like a secondary position. Sort of like how the lifeguards all come out of the waterpark at night and raid the op positions.

Here's my crossed fingers to vu working tomorrow- I still haven't gotten on it this season.
