@TheScarletChick101 They sold it about a week or so after the park closed for the season in 2007, by opening day 2008 all that was left were remnants of the towers.
I don't know how others feel about this coaster in truth. The one in Georgia was broke all the time. I waited nearly 2 hours to ride it, due to it's slow loading/unloading and the fact its not a closed circuit coaster. I get on it, and it does half its ride, to the second lift hill, and apparently it was going too fast and the sensors shut it down on the 2nd hill verticle. normally, I would enjoy being stuck, but not on this junk. special keys to unlock each shoulder bar. time spent 2 hr 45 min
Dark Knight was built on the other side of the park.
Simply put, Vu came down because Six Flags is broke and was tired of pissing money into the mechanical nightmare, which ironically is running flawlessly at its new home.
i went to six flags 8 times and it was never broken and the lines werent that long i loved it so much it was and still is my favorite ride at great america and they replaced it with a little bitch called batman they already have batman and its way better than the new thing I LOVE YOU DEJA
no the dark night coaster going in by superman ... as roomer has been heard (this rumer seem to be developing into fact) they may get the first dive machine for a six flags park.!!!
i have more proof of this ... when they released the dark night the par president said to look for something connecting the sites of Vu, and splash water falls
Six Flags Great America does suck its so stupid why replace a big roller coaster with another rajin cajun so what if its a high maitenance cost just look at Ceder Point in Sandusky Ohio they have really good roller coasters with high maitenance cost.
@jonrev it's sad huh... corporations spending out the ass like middle-class citizens. Only in America will you find that 90 percent of a country's population is in debt, including the companies. Blame Time Warner for majority of the issues. They got SF in this mess in the first place. Lesson #1... Contracts, contracts. READ your contracts.
The Dark Knight Roller Coaster is not techincally replacing DejaVu. That will be located in Orleans Place. DejaVu's spot will remain vacant for 1 season. While it's replacement will come later.
finany that rid needed to go sory people who like it i do nt its my opinion and the posible removal of spash water falls oh i see a dive coaser in our futre
Luxorny...the valid REASON as to why a POV is not included is due to the fact that they are prohibited on most Six Flags Great America rides. (Especially all roller coasters...). Even though Jon Revelle is guilty of producing POVs from the park, it is frowned upon majorly.
I am aware that it is frowned upon unless special permission has been granted. That's why I said I know some valid reasons why he didn't include them.
man i feel blessed that i was able to ride it...it was amazing.....

Cedar Point can do that because they're not over $2,000,000,000 in debt, unlike Six Flags.

The only part that makes me tear up is at the end when the music fades out and you can hear the fright fest music in the background as it fads out.

That, and I didn't feel like fighting with a bunch of ride-ops and ACErs that night. Although I DID ask to do one.
Ironically, earlier that day a ride-op was on the tower 2 microphone yelling at a guest with a camera.

Good vid. It would have been nice to see a POV in there, but I can see some valid reasons why you wouldn't use one.
