/\ Ive ridden DejaVu for 2 hours when the park was closed, but that was just cause the parks year-round employees who were supposed to be riding it were in HH drinking :).

This one make me laugh. :lol:


I imagine that could have happened. What happens if you can't get down from the tower. I think it's like STT where they have a ladder inside the tower itself.

"Viper Used to be called Tidal wave, and it was about 3 times taller"

It was called Viper at Six Flags Over Georgia our Tidal Wave - Now it's called Greezed Lighnin at Kentucky Kingdom (Wrong Viper - referring to SFGAm).

Well, obviously B&M threw in a random height for it and the rest is history.

Actually it is. Far smoother than Blue side backwards.

But the manual harness release is a pain in the butt....

A backwards blue train was placed on the red side for testing; it was never open to the general public in this configuration. It was a much better ride than the blue side, running the trains in reverse really takes a hard toll on the track.

Half the people at Mt Olympus don't know the names of the coasters. Someone next to me in Zeus' station pointed at Hades and said "That's the big one, the Zeus". Another time on Zeus as soon as we hit the brakes someone said "when does it go underground?"

At disneyland I saw a mom trying to get a 4-year-old on California Screamin just becasue it has the mickey mouse icon on it. When the guy said the kid wasn't tall enough, she said "maybe when you're 5."

When I was about 10, a kid in line for Raging Bull said "did you know this ride goes upside-down?" I told him I have rode Raging Bull a million times, it does not have any inversions. After I rode Raging Bull I got back in line, and the same kid said "Now do you believe me?"

Oh I definitely have some good ones from yesterday.

One girl pointed at Batman: The Ride and said "There's Deja Vu!!!" LOL

When we got in line for SUF, which was broken down, after a while some guys had left the line and told everyone in line to just leave because "You'll never get on it cause it's not coming back up, we waited forever" and BOOM the ride was working right after they said that. They just stared at the ride when people in the station started cheering. :lol:

When Vu was still open: It hadn't opened for the day but it was going to, or it was broken down, I can't remember. The employee that was standing at the entrance told people a few interesting things: "We're repainting the ride." "We are adding a second train, come back later." (You know who you are!) And people actually believed him!
