I always wondered why did they take down the Z Force I never got a chance to ride it when I was younger the line was too long, and my dad didn't what to wait I will never forget that. yet what happened?

I know people might not agree but I really miss DeJa Vu when it was working it was turning into my favorite ride!

Z Force was taken down because of the ride rotation program at Six flags in the 80s. It was desinged to give parks new rides every few years by installing "temperary rides" at the parks and moving those rides from one park to another.
The Mr. Six at the park is REALLY creepy

I'm ready for a Ragin' Cajun good time

ZForce went to SFOG for a time, then it was moved to SFMM when the program ended. After like 03 or 04 or so the ride sat SBNO until a few seasons ago when the ride was scrapped.

Utterly Brutal. Due to a bad sunburn, it was the only coaster ever to draw blood from me. (Split basically my entire ear open)

Was a good concept though. If it didn't have the OTSR's it could have been a good ride. And if it was lapbar only and indoors it would have made for an awesome dark ride/coaster.
