Does dejavu have station brakes or does it just rely on the catch car to lower it slowly into the station and stop it?

There are no brakes in the station on Deja Vu. As you said it just rely's on the catch car to catch the train and bring it in slowly.

The only time brakes are used on Deja Vu is during a mis-catch.

If the Catch car does not catch the TRAIN, it will again fall and go threw the station, there are breaks going up into the Boomerang. so that the train does not go into the boomerang only to get stuck between the boomerang and the loop.

Dave, went trim brakes used near the loop when the ride first opened that led to one of the major valleys?

If they were once used (I know they are still installed), are they still used at all? I'm not one of the people who ride it constantly, so I am always too busy enjoying my ride to worry about such things.

The brakes on the loop are still used only in the case of a miscatch, so that the train will not valley between the loop and cobra roll. Other than that, those brakes arent used at all.
