I went on it erlier, I went to GAm from Ohare. Even though they don't have enough people to operate it properly without a big bottleneck that doesn't move :evil:.

/\ Read the post above yours, it was open today (although it may have blown up later in the day, I wouldn't be surprised but don't know ;)).

Well, actually it stopped during midday about 5:00 maybe. Around that time KC opened. Look at my tr for other closures, and an official supervisor employee response to the waterpark that I will do right after I post this.

If it closed at 5 it's very possible they closed it due to staffing issues like they did last year around this time.

Staffing is pretty much why you see rides close early for no apparent(mechanical) reason.

Well i was at the park on monday and it sat empty with no work going on around it at al.
They made a big mistake by getting rid of a family ride like Sky Whirl that almost always worked land replacing it with one that is inoperable 3.4 of the time, ewven after several yrs of operation they are unable to get this ride to work on a consistent basis.
If the ride is closed intentionally to save money that is even worse than it being down due to problems!!!

They keep the crane backstage and pull it out when they need to repair something that needs it (Vu uses it quite a bit). It has nothing to do with a waterpark, they'll be using some bigger construction cranes for that.

There were two problems with DejaVu this weekend (saturday).

First right after opening (10:30ish) the brakes in the loop jammed up...the compressed air was hissing for about 20 minutes. I have pictures of the 4 monkey engineers climbing on the loop to repair.

At about 1:00PM the floor was not locking in the down postion after loading. It would go down, but the locking "pins" were not engaging (spoke with the maint guys that were working on it).

It was closes the rest of the day Saturday...

Actually, it did reopen, but only for 2 dispatches before it went down due to weather (rain). I was on the last ride that day.

About a week ago when i was at the park with my dad, i noticed that the crane for dejavu is over by batman. Vu was running, and i got a ride. I was just wondering if the crane is always there for when it breaks.
