Deja'vu has been running all season with a minimal number of breakdowns, i've riden it at least 10 times this summer alone. Also has anyone noticed any of the demon's new themeing, rumor has it the waterall will get turned back on for fright fest. :shock: I would be so happy if it did.
Demon is the coolest ride i've ever been on

Just for the record, Deja Vu has not run all season - I KNOW, quite a shocker! - and did in fact open around June 10th or 11th, I believe. Will it make it until season's end?

And if it does, will the employees, by years end..look like this?!?!

That has to be at SFMM. SFGAm's does not have black restraints... and never will. :) I like the green harnesses.

Wow...Six Flags is starting to over-do advertising when they put it on the employees...

That picture is SFMMs but all DejaVu's have the Heinz ketchup sponsorship including hats and buttons. This isnt new, many SF parks did it last year with "Driving Force A&E" including V2 at SFGAm.

Oh come on you guys, sice when DejaVu air gates are located on the right side, harnesses are black, and since when we have cast members having grooming issues? This is Magic Mountain guys.
Six Flags Ameirca as the number 1 park at SFI.... this is JOKE!

Nope, never gonna happen. Dont ever believe theme park rumors unless you've read something official (such as a press release). The waterfall on Demon can not be turned back on until the framing in the rock is refurbished wich gam won't do because of the cost. This reason goes to river rocker too because the water couldnt be supported in the pool. Sorry, no water for a while.

^ Uh I don't they'd would ever make a press release just to tell people that they're turning the waterfall back on.

Ok, I have to ask...how does a pool not support the water? I would think that a bit of water sealer could do the trick.... :?

Yeah, after i read that it didnt make sense either. I cant remember exactly, but i know there is some reason why water cant be in the pool, it may be for the RR structure that would be in the water, not the pool, sorry, my fault.

It would be neat if the waterfall was turned back on. Maybe someday the infamous tunnel with the Demon's eyes will come back... :mrgreen:

Yes, the ride did open late, and the days i have been to the park it hasnt been open when the park opens and has had down time each day.
But it has run slightly better this year once it finally opened, still a waste and I would much perfer a true launched coaster than the two medicore ones we have now.

^ I'm ignoring you because everything you say makes me angry...

The waterfall can't be turned on because it was eroding the supports... and obviously erroding supports=Bad.

I'm assuming you meant to say that the waterfall was corroding the supports. Erosion is when water runs downhill and carries dirt with it that settles in a different spot. Corrosion is the oxidation of metals to form rust that results from water contacting the metal.

Every time since Vu has opened and I have been there, it has opened with the park. It has gone done while I have been there, but it has had a great season since it has opened in mid June.

Also, what is the second launch coaster SFGAm has? V2 is one, where is the other one at? :?

Honestly, who knows whether it says or goes besides corporate employees. Rightly so, it has had a great season so far with minimal downtimes, meaning that it goes down, but nothing so far for days on end with the exception of Vekoma visiting the park to perform maintenance. As stated in other topics in the forum, it was supposed to run opening day, but there were issues and it didn't open until June.

Um,i think they were just refering to vu because its a "reverse inclined launch" coaster. Basicaly it means since you go out of the station backwards, up the lift, and then BACK THROUGH the station, it is kind of a launch out of the station, if you wanna look at it that way.

Vu is not an "inverse inclined launch" coaster. It is a Giant Inverted Boomerang and is classified as a shuttle coaster, which last I checked, it was not a launch coaster. Launch coaster is something that launches you like TTD or Mr. Freeze, not shuttles you back up a tower, then drops you. That has no launch in it whatsoever.

That's what I was going to say. There is no actual launch.

I know, read the post. I said its not technically a launch, it just can look like it because it comes out of the station FORWARD fast. :wink:

for the waterfall on demon...... how much would it cost to replace or enhance the structure? And how does it affect the track.... do they have to replace constantly or what?
