DeJaVu...Not another problem!

DV missing the catch car and rolling into those brakes is just the safety system working corectly, and ends up being avery minor thing. If those brakes didnt stop the train, people would have to exit the train 125 feet in the air on a platform that is quite a bit shorter than the train

[rct2wizard360]

Actually, with the physics of that ride, I highly doubt it would miscatch and still make it to the middle of the cobra. It sometimes barely makes it without miscathing in the first place. But yes it is indeed showing the saftey features are working atleast. Just be happy those platborms and extra brakes are in there for safety. Or else you may be stuck unpsidedown in a cobra roll, having emergency rescuse teams getting you down. (Man I am posting alot in this topic! )

With the length of the train in comparison to the Cobra Roll, I don't ever see the train getting stuck up there.

The chances are slim to none.

This is nothing new. The ride has always and always will miscatch. It's was a prototype and it had big desgin flaws theres really no way to get around them. It's a great ride with 100s of problems. Miscatching as said before is a good thing. If it didn't you would be seeing Deja down for an extended period of time.

That explained it. New rides have porblems for the first couple years. We done now?

Stunt Fall in Madrid operates without the platform over the Cobra Roll or a partydeck under the loop, which means they must have fixed a few problems already...

SFMM's Deja Vu has been stuck in the cobra roll before....twice I believe. So while the chances maybe slim it is very well possible.

Most likely cause they are closer to the parts. And there's was made without the platforms. Also, there's was made a year after ours.
And Dave, are you saying stuck over the platform? or stuck in the middle of inverted part of it?

[CoasterDave316]

It was over the platform. Sort of like this: http://www.rcdb.com/installationgallery ... ?Picture=8

[rct2wizard360]

I remeber hearing our Deja Vu got stuck over that platform.

[DejaVuGurl1203]

I remember that too. I'm pretty sure ours did get stuck in the cobra roll at one point...

[rct2wizard360]

Once all the bugs are worked out, those platforms may be gone. I want the Patio midway loop and cobra. I could use a walkout patio from my room for some BBQ's!

[SFGAm Shock Wave]

Our Deja Vu NEVER got stuck in the cobra roll. It only vallied twice, both times between the loop and cobra roll.

[rct2wizard360]

Actually it did, my friends ex-boyfriend was on it when it happened. I have pics but I cant get them onto my PC. I've also heard its vallied more than twice in-between the cobra and the loop. And by the way people, learn the difference between vallie and miscatching.

Was one of those times on the very first day it opened to the general public? I think I was there that day for my friend's pom squad thing but instead of watching I ran over to Deja Vu when it tested but it got stuck inbetween the loop and the cobra roll. Back then I knew NOTHING about coasters so I was like SEE YA LATER! I do remember it had near to a 3 hour wait that day though.

[SFGAm Shock Wave]

Until I see evidence, I'm not going to beleive you. If it ever vallied in the cobra roll, the media would've had a field day. Evacuating 110ft in the air over a platform that, in my opinion, does diddly squat.

[Geno21K]

I remember reading that the time when it vallied in the cobra was during a private function, so there were far less people there than normal to get the word out about it. That may also be why the media would've been a step or two late trying to cover it also. I wasn't there to see it, but I know that I've heard that story from more than one person on here. The pics would be nice to see, however, if they can eventually be uploaded. That would solve that part of the debate altogether.

[Papas]

You mean after the cobra roll, it's never vallied in the cobra roll.

It wasn't in the cobra roll, it was in the loop.

[Papas]

You mean before the loop.

[w00dland]

Actually, half way up.

[Papas]

It can't stop and sit in the loop, you make it sound like it did. The point is it wasn't stuck in the loop.

[w00dland]

It was probably E brakes, but again, I was 13 and didn't know ANYTHING about coasters...

I was responding to rct2wizard360's post.

Ok, calm down everyone. Here is the FACTS :

1) Deja Vu has become stuck IN THE COBRA ROLL, it happened twice at SFMM, that resulted in the installation of the ramps. Me and CoasterDude316 have the link to the image, but it is now dead, since it happened in March 2002. If you want proof head to ACN's forums and search for it, there are many a threads about it.

2) Deja Vu has NEVER been stuck IN the loop, it HAS been stuck between the loop and the cobra roll, once again the SFMM I believe.

Our Model, as far as I know, has not been stuck in the cobra roll, I do believe that it has become stuck in between the loop/cobra roll, however.

[Papas]

The cobra roll thing was at Magic Mountain, it's never happenned here or in Georgia.
