Here is a video of the last ever miscatch around 7:30. The miscatch was on tower 1 and when we walked up to it it was sitting in the brakes.
Then I filmed it valleying back and forth until it stopped.

Thanks for posting those videos! I love seeing when rides malfunction - as long as it doesn't interfere with my wait times.
I like the V2 one. I actually was on V2 this year when it was E-Stopped.
"Oh My Gosh, She is such a whore!" - heard behind me exiting Raging Bull.
Thanks.
If you are interested there is also a Knex coaster POV, and a necropolis porta-potty video on my channel. knex http://youtube.com/watch?v=35ekWzkfD4s necropolis http://youtube.com/watch?v=0pyLz_LCqHc
I got a miscatch on Deja Vu earlier this year. All the people on the train were freaking out and I was having a blast. When the train finally stopped in the station a mechanic asked me if I was okay. I told him I've been waiting for a miscatch since Deja Vu opened and that it was fun. He gave me a strange look and then pushed the train back a few inches.
I was in line for V2 a few years ago when there was an E-Stop because someone stuck there arm out towards the train when it launched. The ride operator in the booth said it stopped because a sensor detected his arm. I've been on V2 twice when it stopped during the launch but I don't know if they were E-Stops or not. R.I.P.

I was on that Miscatch, funny thing is I was on that ride using an exit pass I got from a tower 1 miscatch I had a few weeks ago
I guess i can say I was on Deja Vu's final F***up Favorite Wood Coasters: The Voyage, Ravine Flyer II, Thunderhead, Balder
Favorite Steel: Voltron Nevera, Steel Vengeance, Expedition GeForce, Olympia Looping Parks visited: 232, Coasters Ridden: Steel: 894, Wood: 179, Total: 1073
I don't think anything will beat the one Aero filmed in '04.
Ahahah. I'll never forget that miscatch I had in the summer. I took pics while we were just sitting there.
"Dutch piece of crap..." Frank
Do you clips of the miscatch and estop taking place right when it occurs?

A furious storm once roared `cross the sea, catching ships in its path, helpless to flee. Instead of a certain and watery doom, the winds swept them here to Typhoon Lagoon! *****Are you ready to Rockit?!*****
The V2 E-Stop was about 3-5 mins after the stop.
And the dejavu one was filmed about 5 mins after I saw it. We were about to get in line for Raging Bull when I looked at dejavu, it went up then down. I was like, "holy sh*t lets run over there". So we were able to run there pretty fast, then when we got there we waited about 2 mins for it to release.
Those were neat.
Yeah, i wish I could have gotten the V2 "bloop" sound or the siren.....i already miss those sounds
I do too, as long as no one gets hurt. Thanks for posting the videos, it's nice to see our 2001 coasters acting fussy again! It's too bad i've never had a miscatch, i've only got a mispark on Vu.  RIP: Trailblazer and Deja Vu...heck, even Alien Encounter

I just found this video on YouTube: http://youtube.com/watch?v=uzM8Pnq_cLI
It appears as though the train had a miscatch or vallied in between the second tower and the vertical loop. Last edited by coasterkid94 on November 6th, 2007, 6:10 pm, edited 1 time in total.
^ Delete the period at the end and the video will work.... also i think this was already shown but still! any other miscatch videos? I'd love to see them!
^^"The url contained a malformed video id."
^Sorry about that. I believe that the URL should be working properly now. Here are some other videos that I found of broken/malfunctioning rides:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=1W_SC7fiS00 http://youtube.com/watch?v=QOfcQEDiXRM The first ride appears to be some type of roller coaster where each row is an individual train (similar to RC). The second video is of a broken ride on SUF where the train got stuck on the chain lift.
HAHA I love the first one!

That first video you posted coasterkid is great, that is hilarious to see that kid slamming into that guy's car and getting him mad. Good laughs.

Marathon down, Goofy to go.
This video makes me think of all the fun times of laughing at Vu that I will be missing
It was always so funny (in a good way, of course) to laugh at Déjà Vu for getting messed up all the time. But that comedy will always continue, even though he aint at sfgam no more.Falling Like the Hail
Maybe TDK will have some humor...???
^Maybe, but not as much as Vu because its only a mouse. Vu was funny because it was like "hmmm, is Vu open....I think I see it testing". Then you walk over there and everyone is lined up. So you watch then theres a miscatch
