So, if Lex Luthor is a real estate guy, then does that make the "Drop of Doom" a representation of our economy?

[Zeppelinfreak]

^Basically.

Reminds me of family guy's or the Simpsons (can't remember) stock market roller coaster.

Magic Mtn just posted the following on their Facebook page:

 

Hey Déjà Vu fans! The countdown begins so come ride this weekend before it’s going…going…gone!

 

Wonder if this means this is the last weekend of operation?

[OISU8P]

I wonder why they painted the structure knowing they where going to add this to it. You figure they would have waited until doing the painting, since the new paint may get some scuffs during the install...

 

Anyways, this does look intense. The highest drop ride I have been on is either Pitt Fall KW or Power Tower at CP (even though this is not true drop). I can not remember which is higher. However, those seemed high and this is almost twice that.... I have not been to this park YET. However, it sounds like a solid addition for them.

^^I'm loving the comments where people actually think they can save the ride with a Facebook comment.

^^ Not just a comment ... a whole facebook page. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Save-D%C3%A9j%C3%A0-Vu/266700193343043

 

One even threatened to sue the park.

 

I think that person has some brain damage from riding Deja Vu too much.

My Favorite comment is: I hope they buy a new one.

Facepalm.

I dunno, I'm kind of partial to the guy who wanted them to remove Gold Rusher ... hasn't he heard the ride op's? It's the BEST RIDE EVER ... WHOOOOOOO!!!!

Anyone want to get Prince Desmond in the mix here? I mean, he does have the power afterall!

[ABW]

Look at the most recent post on the "Save Deja Vu" page!!

[RCFreak]

God damnit Six Flags! Now I have to get a pass next year. This looks like a great addition (aside from the capacity and the future slow ops that will run the ride) that I'm actually excited for!

[mr. cockblock]

I know SFMM Facebook just said you get your last rides on Deja Vu this weekend, but I rememer hearing that it will be open till October. Anyone know the an actual confirmed Deja's last day to ride? Im going to the park on the 25th and was looking forward to one last ride.

I doubt they would say the "countdown begins" if it was really the last weekend.

[cooksta77]

Omg this Facebook page is hilarious! They think they can actually save a ride with Facebook!

[Sir Clinksalot]

^^ Good point ... but this is SFMM we are talking about.

Don't post anything on there about these people being in denial or "complain" that it is in fact leaving and they just don't want it to be true because you could be banned from the page.........I should be banned any moment now!....lol

[Angry_Gumball]

Same thing here. A fun ride while it lasts though

[bostonlva]

the Save Déjà Vu page, and the comments under the SFMM post make me sad that the GP is really dumb, SUE?!?!?!?! really? Do half the people there even realize how much it costs to run Déjà Vu? By getting rid of it they can save that money and put it towards something better! Right?

[nightsgt]

It was a great day at the park. It's been a few years since I've been to the park but man is it looking good. The park was clean, I was surprised how much new paint was everywhere and the ride ops were great. There was essentially no stacking on any of the rides (including Batman) with a skeleton crew and the ride ops on Tatsu were hilarious and professional.

[bostonlva]

Made a really good analogy on the Save Vu fan page

 

Vu is like driving a hummer, as they both eat money, upgrading a hummer to a Prius will save you money to spend on other things, just like selling VU will save SFMM money to build something better

 

you agree with my statement?

[Angry_Gumball]

Because I had nothing better to do tonight than mock the GP and their efforts to save Deja Vu....I thought it would be fun to create this:

Of course, I had to be nice and share it on their wall

[Zeppelinfreak]

^Ah that's sweet. If I had a facebook, I would "like" it or whatever you do on there.
