coasterjunkie91350 Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Well as if you dont see the rust on the tracks on side A&B then you need your eyes checked. Once they remove that rust they will see the weak spots in the metal and will have to finish weld those spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freefallbestrideever Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 ^ I agree, that rust is disgusting on what's supposed to be a "World Class" ride. Although it's gotten boring, it's good if the line is short. I once rode it 9 times (7 without leaving my seat) The guys next to us said it was 14 for them. ^Here you go. I would call it a bad photoshop job, but that is just about what it will look like. For some reason i think "Hot Dog on a stick" Now put one of those hats on top of Superman LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric_Smith Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 I think the Superman pic ALMOST looks cool. Notice I said ALMOST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trcg721 Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 The other side of Superman is now open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjeerr Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 ^So the right side is open now? Do they take like 1 year to rehab each side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tmcdllr Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Yeah really. So now do they run both sides at the same time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SigENeaT Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Not sure if this has been posted anywhere on the forums however this thread looks appropriate. Â I noticed whilst sipping my ice cold Coke on a Tokyo (Narita) -> Singapore (Changi) flight earlier today that Six Flags MM and Coke are doing some 2 for 1 deal. Looks like its for admission to the park. Offer valid until the end of the year. Â Might be of interest for some people.. Â See picture for more details as appeared on the can...

socalMAN123 Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Quote from Screamscape but the latest buzz claims that Déjà Vu from Six Flags Magic Mountain may also be on the way out. If this actually happens, then there will be nothing to do back in Cyclone Bay. But, with Psyclone and maybe Deja Vu gone, there is quite a lot of room left over. New ride? ---Brent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 ^If anything, I would say a Wiggles World or Thomas Town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Someone very high up at SFMM really likes Deja Vu and claims that the public loves it too, so I'm not quite sure we'll be able to get rid of ours too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kewlcoasterdude Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 During my trips to SFMM I never got to ride Deja Vu. It was broke down, but it looks like a blast. I cant imagine being pulled straight up that high while looking down. I wish I would have got the chance to ride it. What do you guys think of it?

socalMAN123 Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 ^ Deja Vu is one of the most intense rides I have ever been on. It is the only ride that can succeed in making me nauseous and scared. I love it and I hope it doesn't get taken out. ---Brent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelTheFORCE Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 I loved Deja Vu! In my opinion, they need to spend more time tweaking them and perfecting them so they don't break down, and add more around the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraxleRIDAH Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Deja Vu is more reliable nowadays and despite its popularity with park guests, a ride of this hourly rider capacity does not belong at a park like Magic Mountain. Very large open-circuit roller coasters are pointless because they are meant for large parks with big budgets but their low capacity is a paradox as they can't handle large crowds.

DCody Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 I was really disappointed when I went to SFMM two weeks ago and Deja Vu was closed all day. If they're gonna get rid of it, I hope I get a chance to ride it first! It looks friggin' intense. Â They'd have to put something else in, because yeah, that section of the park was pretty useless to us without Deja running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tmcdllr Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Deja Vu is not going to be removed and if you remember Shapiro is against putting in expensive new coasters at this time so it especially would not be removed for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vedved82491 Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Yeah really. So now do they run both sides at the same time? Â No. they don't and can't run both sides at the same time...not anymore, and not without causing other problems. Â As for Deja, I believe that was one rumor gone bad. Sure it was on Screamscape, but the chance of all three Deja Vu's on the chopping block? Where exactly would they go instead? I'm sure some (other) park would just love to take it in! (sarcasm) moving them to other Six Flags locations would be pointless. I doubt they're going anywhere. At least just yet. If they were removed, I'm not sure that they would find a new home. Deja Vu is by far one of the better Vekoma creations and they should NOT be touched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winningfreak Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Psyclone was once a great ride. Unlike Colossus, you could never catch your breath. I think Ghostrider at Knott's may soon be demolished for the same reason. Â Â I HIGHLY dought Ghostrider will be removed anytime soon, I work at Knotts and the managment seem to love it when ever there is a complaint about it (Alot from employess because of how loud it is in the backstage area and people have reported bolts droping from the ride) the management says to bad its a customer favorit and they will have matinance check it out if its a machincal problem. Also the ride isnt that rough only at night after its been running all day.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vedved82491 Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 When I went on it back in december, I thought it was really uncomfortable. I just remember having my vertebral region hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Thrill Dragster Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Well right now Ghost Rider is running Great. The only problem with the ride is Gold train is really rough, but silver is GREAT! Ghost Rider is not going any were, the ride still gets 90min waits during the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trcg721 Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 It seems that they are going back and forth with superman. One day the left side is open while the next day, right side is open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopThrill182 Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 When I was at Magic Mountain (August 7th and 8th) I was surprised to see them running both sides of Superman. No, they weren't being launched at the same time, but both sides were operating for an hour or two, and then the next day, one side was open with the other testing. Â After talking with a mechanic he claimed the ride still hit 90mph, but the launch really feels no faster than 80mph to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just seems like a wasted of time and money. I would say tear it down and use that land for something good. Am I the only one that feels this way? The ride is definately not worth a wait of more than 10 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
