Dejavu gets stuck at lift hill at Six Flags Magic Mountain

[StruckByRain]

I'm surprised at how little this ride breaks down now. But still, it's probably why they only have it open for half the year.

[rollermusic3]

omg the deja vu that used to be at sfgam was broken alllll of the time everytime i tried to go on it the thing broke



[Cessna172Flyer]

haha. i went to six flags today, sat in the very back of deja vu, on the sides, obviously cause theyre the best seats...we go back and right before we hit the top, it just stops. i felt secure in the harness but still pretty freaky being stuck up there for about 10 minutes. the maintenance guys were just walking to fix it, they had no worries as we were dangling up there and waving to people down below lol

[MurdaINCBaller]

i went yesterday and 2 cycles b4 i got on it broke down. and last year i was on it and it broke down. this ride is great but breeaks down too much

[XcandyxmcfanX125]

i hate when people clap when it a ride gets fix of when there net in line that just dumb

[DrummerXbk6e4XDanno]

nothing fresh here then its opening was put off for about 5 months cause of problems like that an not engaging at all on the seconds lift spike an then valleying in the cobra roll

[SKILASTIES]

That was hurting the riders i bet. It hurts a bit just being there for a few seconds.

[Dcmcfmc1428]

wow.........

[iSpeed09]

I guess this would be one good reason not to ride it XD

[24Brian13]

wow i got on this ride 3 times in a row lucky i didnt get stuck :P

[zSpeedexZ]

i Had the worst feeling when i rode this , and after i got out i was gonna puke >_<''

[Twigleaf]

not to mention, at the SFOG one, I had to sign my name on their docket sheet after it got stuck. I asked them what I was signing, and she just gave a general answer that its standard policy. A security guard later told me when I asked, that it was mainly for legal reasons and for proof you were on it if anyone claimed injury. 2 hr 45 min wait on the slow ass thing, only to get stuck on second lift hill, I was hoping for a free voucher or something for a coke lol. no way, no how. vecoma junk

[6flgslover]

deja vu wuz not safe i swear

[gaby55561]

I GET STUCK LIKE THAT YESTURDAY IT WAS THE WORST FEELING EVER REALLY

[6flgslover]

@gaby55561 my friend sed that once she went 2 SFOG (where deja vu used 2 live this is the only 1 left at SFMM) and that the ride wuz so broken down that they had 2 get a whole bunch of emergency ppl 2 get them down

[gaby55561]

@6flgslover omg when i got stucked they were like 1 our there to get us out S:

[iSpeed09]

FAIL.

[Tambora909]

yea its tru it get stuck alot

[code187copkilla]

they took the one out of great america cuz of the same problems the ride was kick ass if you ever get to go on it

[NorthwestCoasters17]

dude there are more then one deja vu in the world.

The one at great america is chicago is now at a small park called silverwood in Idaho. It hasnt broken doen there in like 2 months

[NorthwestCoasters17]

maybe not at six flags magic mountain.

But at six flags over georgia it happened to me. and at silverwood i got caught between the lood and tower 2 for 3 hours.

[hannahleeiswithme]

bs its open again well i went to the one in l.a

[gonegolfn07]

lol I was on the coaster when this happened. My first time riding deja vu and it gets stuck and now they have closed it for good so I will never get to ride the entire thing

[Lilkingjr1]

and, im pritty sure im rite with this one.. deja vu at SFMM has never goten stuck between the loop and the cobra, only between the loop and the 2nd lift. sry guys, myth busted... lol, if it got stuck between the cobra and the loop theyd prob say f@*k it and rip it down considering they're too lazy to put new cars in...

[NorthwestCoasters17]

what were the videos and the comments.

[Lilkingjr1]

i forget the other video and u have 2 on this video... like that it got stuck between the cobra and the loop, thts not tru. has never done tht and they cant just hook a pully on it if it did... and the whole battery pack thing...

[JezXtheXgoddess]

Why exactly did they tear down the deja vu in Illinois? I heard multiple stories.

[Xhonestly12X]

you have no idea how sad I was when they tore it down

I got to that park a couple times every year, and im always excited to ride deja vu because it is the scariest ride. T-T

[Jason619870]

I went on that ride yesterday scarest ride I ever been on. it terrfying

[enjoylifex1]

that tottaly sucks

[fred2829]

thank God that didn't happen to me while i was there.... I did get stuck on Tatsu though for 15 minutes!

[NorthwestCoasters17]

over at silverwood we have the deja vu from six flags great america in chicago. the train pulled up to the first tower but didnt the coaster go until about a minute later and didnt have enough power to make it through the ride so we got caught between the loop and the 2nd tower for 3 hours."

[jinxii92]

The one in atlanta got tore down cuz if broke down to often! i wanted to ride it soooo effin bad!

[Bornkilla174]

I live at chicago and i was there the same day the tore it down. Every ride enar deja vu was closed except hurrican harbor and batman,superman and viper. pretty stupid :(

[california123100]

that always happens

[winxclub4evers]

the one in illinois did that too.i was walking,and i look at the ride,it goes up(the secont time)and it just stoped!i have speshal vishon.(it happend 2 times!)they had to get off like that!i saw that they had to get off like that!

[azteckike]

ho man

[michaeljacbabe15]

the one in chicago has many problems too but they tore it down.

[NorthwestCoasters17]

they didnt tear it down. Its now at silverwood in Idaho. Look it up on youtube. Its now called aftershock.

[KenJones1990]

This Deja Vu is still at Six Flags Magic Mountain and is still open. The Deja Vu from Six Flags Great America is the Deja Vu which is now Aftershock at Silverwood.

[NorthwestCoasters17]

i know dude. i have ridden every deja vu. except for stunt fall. but silverwood is my home theme park. check out videos for them. they pretty much just promote silverwood.

[Hotsmoke76]

What day did u go iwent on the 16th and it was broken down. It has many problems

[HateJeff24]

that would sucks

[kridere]

no thats no possible

[seanki98]

i don't think it would be possible. If it was, then the engineers should get fired lol!

[NorthwestCoasters17]

well on a drop no. but it can get stuck in the loop or cobra roll.

it would take forever to get the ppl off though

[jblucio3177]

two years ago I want to magic mountian and I was eating lunch by deja vu and I watched the ride and the ride didn't completely go throught the loop.

[RollerCoasterMaster2]

wow thats would be funny to watch... expecially if you just got off the ride lol!

[NorthwestCoasters17]

so what happened then

[jblucio3177]

It didn't gain enough speed to complete the loop.

[NorthwestCoasters17]

wow so weird.

the catch car on tower one must have released the train so soon. so was it stuck between the loop and the cobra roll

[ejlucio]

I know it looked wierd when the coaster going half way through the loop and then going back, I wonder how maintainence would reset the ride.

[NorthwestCoasters17]

well they can use a pulley to get the train over the loop tot he emergency platform and then bring the catch car down to there and connect it to the catch car andf release it back through the ride to the station.

its a long process.

[sebastiankbastek]

lol

i was on it today

[giub99]

this ride probably broke every day in at six flags illinois; i think that's why they removed it in January 08

[Rcp123190]

this ride at Magic Moutain always breaksdown, every single i go to this park and wait in line for this ride, the harnesses always stay locked so they have to call a mechainc to fix it and one time when i rode it, i got stuck on it, i had to wait like 10 mins.

[WrathOfFlame]

10 Whole minutes, tragic. =P

[Rcp123190]

tell me about it

[amapp2k4]

Normally if the shoulder harnest got stuck, we would have someone push down on it while the operator pushed "lock" then "unlock" and it would pop right open. But this was in GA so I guess they didnt know that trick. lol.

But this did happen alot with us. Tower 2 would catch the train and instead of releasing at the top, it would bring it down very slowly. Then maintnence would come unload the train manually and fully reset the ride.

2 hour break time!!!

[Rcp123190]

Personally i think the company that built this (Vekoma) is a crappy company, this guy i know hes one of the main mechaincs at Magic Moutnain and he said their rides always give him a problem, like Superman The Escape

[mlbplayer619]

yupp im a ride op at legoland california and one the rides i work at (log ride) is ALWAYS breaking down

[Rcp123190]

im sure thats fun, working on a ride that always gives you problems

[mlbplayer619]

hahahaha i love seeing peoples reactions...especialy after theyve been waiting for 45 minutes lmao

[Rcp123190]

man it sucks waiting that long and it breaksdown lol

[pokesomi]

@Rcp123190 oh dont even get me started on ride problems. Revolution at the same park as this one was a nightmare.

[Rcp123190]

@pokesomi..... really?? that one was a problem?? doesnt seem like that ride would. everytime i go to magic mountain its always up and running... but thats just me as a guest point of view though lol

[pokesomi]

@Rcp123190 Oh yeah. One particular Station sensor would set off a ride stop at least once a day. They did eventually get it fixed( this was back in 2006) after I spoke with maintenance about my thoughts on what the problem was. (turns out it was a sensor in the station going bad) But as I alluded to, every day sometimes twice a day or more, but It has been fixed. BTW I was a ride operator there.

[Rcp123190]

@pokesomi..... i was a ride operator for goldrusher for about week n half there at the park last year before i quit lol....long ass story.... damn that sucks with that sensor... one of my visits their at the park they were in the proceses of removing a train off line due to i believe the sensors... the one train kept on overshooting the ride operator was telling me.. he was like "its either the train itself or the sensors on the track" or something like that

[pokesomi]

@Rcp123190 this was on revolution or gold rusher

[Rcp123190]

@pokesomi my bad that was on goliath... with train being removed

[NorthwestCoasters17]

@Rcp123190 So the train was overshooting the catcher?

[Rcp123190]

@NorthwestCoasters17.....i guess it was....but theirs brakes between the loop and the 2nd tower and a evac area just in case around that area...i've notice that area when im standing in line lol

[NorthwestCoasters17]

@Rcp123190 Ya i know...ive had my e-vac's. I have never heard of the train overshooting though. Where the catchers are placed are usually where the train would stop on the towers so i dont know how the train could possibly overshoot it.

[Rcp123190]

@NorthwestCoasters17....Idk how either how this does that but it has before....i've seen it personally myself last year and theirs a video of if it somewhere around here on youtube

[NorthwestCoasters17]

@Rcp123190 Is that blocco deja vu of the coaster miscatching on tower 2 from a helicopter view or whatever?

[Rcp123190]

@NorthwestCoasters17 ...Yep....crazy huh??

[NorthwestCoasters17]

@Rcp123190 Ya that is a great video. Have you seen the one of stunt fall (same layout of deja vu) stuck in the cobra roll?

[Rcp123190]

@NorthwestCoasters17 Nah I haven't...Is it pretty crazy??

[NorthwestCoasters17]

@Rcp123190 Pretty funny stuff. Look up stunt fall stuck.

[Rcp123190]

@NorthwestCoasters17...I will right now lol

[NorthwestCoasters17]

@Rcp123190 lol ok

[Seth98487]

@mlbplayer619 hey i was gonna ride that log ride with my friend then i heard it broke down and im like WAT?!

[XxHxcDancer6xX]

@Rcp123190 Vekoma didnt make Superman The Escape.. and Vekoma is NOT a crappy Coaster Company..last time i checked they have the most coasters in the world...its usually inverted Boomerangs(like this one) that have the most problems..which is why there are only 2 left in the world..

[Rcp123190]

@XxHxcDancer6xX .....thanks for giving me info i already know!!!!!! Intamin AG built Superman.....Ya Vekoma is really great thats why my friend bitches about them all the time...Them and Intamin....The Inverted Boomerangse are fun, but their standered versions are rough as hell.... Intamins quality aint that great either...But i aint saying that there rides arn't fun though

[XxHxcDancer6xX]

@Rcp123190 oh..lol im sorry i looked at ur comment and it said "one year ago"..

[Rcp123190]

@XxHxcDancer6xX ...lol its cool dont worry about it haha

[Rcp123190]

thats crapy Vekoma for you

[Lilkingjr1]

i know y the harnests r so screwd up... there is ONE singe, little, vitle, stupid arm, that, after every ride comes down at the station and touches base with the car. Thats what unlocks the seats. And that little stupid arm has to come down just rite or else the ride has a brain fart and stops. I know i dont sound profetional but i know what im talking about, im a major fan of SFMM. lol, im just pissed at tht stupid arm...

[Rcp123190]

Oh ya ya, i know what ur talking about, ive seen it a bunch of times when i'm standing in line for the ride.....Ya im a huge fan of the park too....I've personally talked to the Park President and Gnearal Manager....There really cool people

[Lilkingjr1]

lucky! i wish i could meet up with them! lol, i am seriously like a ligit, major fan of the park. like, im not just one of thos ppl who say ther fans but know nothin, im like a literal fan. lol, u think u could get me a meeting with them? lol, i made a ride in RCT3 and showd it to my frnds and every single one said "DUDE, submit tht to SFMM!" and im like, yeh, ok... lol, sucks ther in debt. and no im not gunna ask them to build my ride. u should chek it out, its on my channel. named Apollo.

[NorthwestCoasters17]

I dont get it. At silverwood the deja vu there is locked by a battery pack in the back off the seat.

[Lilkingjr1]

trust me dude, that ain't a battery pack... stop putting up a whole bunch of comments tht arent true... its starts rumors and then i have to explain to everyone the truth... tht box holds circuit boards for tht car tht relay info regarding locked/unloackd seats, etc... they would not rely on wirless communication and batteries on something as important as harnests...

[NorthwestCoasters17]

ok whatever. and i am not putting up a whole bunch of crap. where did u get that from.

[Lilkingjr1]

well, the last thing you put up was untrue... then theres another comment on this vid thts untrue (from you) and on other videos i saw comments from you, tht are also untrue... im not trying to be rude but more in a helping way... just dont suggest something i dont know its 100% true. you can ask about it tho, just dont make a statement cuz then it startes rumors...
