Deja Vu officially dead

[tp41190]

8 years ago, it seemed like the ultimate coaster. And Six Flags was very proud of it when they released it.

Its too bad. Such a bad ass ride has to go away.

[DejaVuGurl1203]

^ So true.

I can't watch this thing being taken down.

[superflybri]

^ Yeah.. Agree 100%... That's when someone asked for evidence I was like, why do you need evidence? We all know that its coming down.... It will be torture to see our baby get torn down.

[Demon_07]

It certainly will change the skyline.

I have a pic I got today that shows part of Vu's loop missing and a crane:

The best spot to get pics of Vu and probably the hardest as well, is along I-94. With Washington you can get pics but it's a lot harder.

Edit: Not sure what the rules on images in posts are, like this one, so if this needs to be edited to just a link, then please let me know. Thanks!

[Demon_07]

well, it's begun...

[cycamps]

I didn't realize that much was gone already.

[Demon_07]

By the end of next week, the whole loop should be gone and maybe more.

[cycamps]

Easily...

[Demon_07]

So sad.... So I'm guessing it'll be gone by mid-late march?

rctfan, I re-posted the picture for you on the original thread. Pictures like that one are important for the topic which are allowed. Thanks for the shot.

Thanks Galvan! I'm gonna keep my camera with me every day I go down that road so I should be able to keep you guys updated.

[superflybri]

sad to see the beast go... She was a good one.

[rct2wizard360]

Thanks for that picture, and for keeping us updated in the days/weeks to come!

Sorry, but I gotta say, good riddance to bad rubbish. Ride may have been good from a rider standpoint, but really with the percentage of uptime it had, it was time for it to say it's goodbyes and take a hike.

Not saying I disagree but you're gonna get youself shot saying that here. lol. I'm going to Gurnee Mills tomorrow, I'll take a shot.

[Galvan]

^ Um, Im going to go with no on that one.

[Trailblazer Tony]

Not FParker, he's our guide to european parks!

When i was there on saturday i took quite a few attempts at pictures and couldn't get much better than that. I found, with a good zoom lens, the business park to be the best place to get the pics. Oh, and whoever was at the business park and climbed the hill, thank you so much for the shoe prints, thanks to you, i kept dry socks for the wake

[FParker185]

I'll make sure to get an extra detailed TR of the DV in spain to make up for that

If it's still there in 2009 of course and if it's open (I'm not really expecting to ride it, but would be a nice bonus)

Half the loop is gone! I'm gonna have to go take some more pics tomarrow. I can't wait till the towers start to come down, it's gonna be so much easier to get pics of that then it is of the loop.

[Coastermonkey61]

Wow, the loop ate it quick

[Demon_07]

If they keep working at this rate, both towers should at least be gone by friday

[BrianPlencner]

gottastrata33,

Thanks for posting those.

Looks like things are moving right along.

Maybe there's a slight chance that it will get put up at Silverwood in time.
