  • The one in California is now in Massachusetts

  • OK¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

  • No one died on any of the Deja Vus (Illinois, Georgia, California). They just never seemed to work right, except for the one in California. There were a multitude of problems with this ride but they can all be summed up like this: it's just a Vekoma piece of crap.

  • You people are mad that they got rid of a dangerous ride that was constantly messing up and putting people in danger? I don't understand.

  • they have this ride at alomost all of the six flags in america

  • So THAT's why they call it Deja Vu :O

  • @ITzCHANMAN No.

    It was too expensive to maintain, and it was almost constantly closed for repairs.

  • i never rode it bcuz i went in 08,the year after they tore it down & put in............thomas town.

  • Why did they close it??

  • @TaraChan232 From what i heard a 5 year old got in and fell through the seat and died

  • @ITzCHANMAN Yeah , I heard that someone was killed on it too `&nd that's why they closed it down.

  • @RadiateYourLove94 yea thats was about 5 years ago i think before it was replaced but luckily i never had any intentions on riding it

  • When did somebody die on this ride? Esp. "many" people. They took it down because it was a money pit, same thing at Great America. The rides had more downtime than anything else in the park, at least that was the case here in Georgia, and taking them down for something that wouldn't be so costly was the right move, even if it was a pretty good ride when it worked

  • this ride looks soooo beast. ha ha

  • itsa shame SFOG bought the candy-asses Dare devil dive coaster. They need the viper and deja vu BACK NOW!!

  • R.I.P. deja vu.....and ninja wouldnt be so bad if it didnt make you like a rag doll, the layout is cool....but i dont like feeling horrible after you ride it

  • that looks like fun i went 3days ago n it wasnt there.

  • LOL. we still have deja vu ;D

  • they have this ride at six flags magic mountain over in cali

  • Stupid Thomas town!

  • Me and my friend used to stand next to this and catch stuff that flew off of people. Good times. (:

  • Too bad it's gone now. :(

  • it looks like the mindbender doesn t

  • Is it true that this ride went to Brazil?

  • @Brad8099  sadly yes

  • top 3 SFOG fails

    1-ninja

    2-thomas town

    -3 turning steam train to a ghetto diesel tendered train

  • as much as i love coasters.. This is 1 ride that nearly scared me to death.

  • many people died on this ride

  • @Thomas12832 some people died on that ride!?

  • @jaloo4111 OF Course thats why they put it down

  • @Thomas12832 ive lived in georgia my whole life and nobody said anything about ppl dying on that ride!

  • @jaloo4111 Well u know the backwards and frontwards yeah some of the people may have had some heart attacks and probably the old people too

  • @Thomas12832 tht makes no sense really, if the old ppl ride it , they sholud well know they'll get heart attacks

  • @jaloo4111 man all i know is that many people died at that ride so thats why they took it down

  • i live in ga. kant believe it closed

  • This was the BEST ride at Six Flags over Georgia? We still have that exact ride at Magic Mountain you guys can have it if you want. We have like 17 other 200 foot coasters xD

  • @1ynnf  nan we rather nt we have goliath which is 900 feet tall so keep tht we beg you

  • @MyJakill goliath at Over Georgia is 220 feet tall. Goliath here at magic mountain has a 255 foot drop. lol.

  • @1ynnf omfg i feel stupid lol doesnt matter hahahah man i feel stupid this is the first comment tht has stayed marue with out arguing and thnks for correcting me

  • @1ynnf omfg i feel stupid lol doesnt matter hahahah man i feel stupid this is the first comment tht has stayed mature with out arguing and thnks for correcting me

  • why would they take this ride away? it was like the best ride there.

  • :) this is he same ride as the aftershock at silverwood, idaho! thumbs up if u agree

  • Too bad this ride is now in Brazil. It was a nice ride while it lasted.

  • @GRNYHAT I know, I only got to ride it once. Why did they replace it with a playground... it just blows my mind.

  • This ride was the shit when they had it up... Too bad they closed it... but it kept gettin stuck.

  • this ride was awesome, and they only took it away bc it wasnt working all the time bc they didnt know how to maintenance it. it sucked, i only rode it once on the many times i went to six flags while it was there.

  • They didn't take very good care of it, the proof? Magic Mountain's is still open and running, the one at Warner Bros Movie World, still open and running, and this one that got moved to Silverwood and was re-named Aftershock open and running with no reports of the types of issues they had at SFOG. I was a senior in hs when this ride opened and I was supposed to be on the opening ride crew. Never got the chance because it never opened before I left for college. It was the best ride in the park.

  • @rielyboy10 No this one went to brazil....not texas.

  • bes ride at the park, when it was there

  • Those fags at six flags took the ride down to replace it with a child molesters paradise

  • Six Flags over GA needs some better decision makers. They got rid of Deja Vu and Viper which were two of the more unique interesting roller coasters they've ever had, but they will never touch the migraine-inducing Ninja even though everyone hates it.

  • @biggsterboy Deja Vu Iz gone D': Before I ever got to ride it..

  • @biggsterboy they gave deja vu to silverwood and renamed it aftershock, i was just there yesterday!

  • well at least we still have it here in los angeles magic mountain

  • Ugh I rode that ride before they took it down, I hated it

  • i miss this ride they have a fuckin thomas toown in its place now kept breakin down 

  • They Make It Seem Like The Rails Were Mass Produced And Sent To California Because De Ja Vu Is Exactly The Same At California.

  • is that still there? they had the same thing in six flags great america but they took it down

  • @DaSoulSlasher they took it down cuz i went 2 years ago and they have something new in its way. They said they took it down bcuz it stayed tore up more than it did working so it needed to be removed

  • @13hastings

    oooooooooo. ok thanks!!

  • @DaSoulSlasher No they took it down cuz it kept breakin down i miss it

  • it is not there anymore they removed it!!

  • 0_0 rain rain go away come agian another day?

  • It's always shut down :(

  • deja vuu is one of the best roller coasters en Magic Mountain

  • ela tá no mirabilandia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @droctogonpus that was batman

  • Deja Vu at Six Flags over GA is not there no more cause of break downs

  • @harlomglobetrotters because it was parts of the viper.....

  • this is what you guys get for copping  magic mountain

  • @Rea546 actually we ( georgia) didnt copy yall. we all got ours the same year, only like 1 month apart. if anything, we got ours first!!!

  • Also, I went to Six Flags yesterday and Acrophobia was closed, although they might just be tweaking with it because it says they're experiencing technical difficulties... Thunder River was closed a couple of weeks ago, but it's open again now =)

  • @Droctogonpus My friend said it was struck by lightning. I know, it was still shut down when I went on father's day.

  • @jad1032572 Right, if he wanted his hat so much he could ask an attendant if they could like stop the ride and let him go get it...

  • THIS RIDE SUCKS

  • @hannahnicole061 your mom sucks...

  • @hannahnicole061 shut up it was the best ride there until Goliath came now that is the best ride in the park

  • next ride should be....mmm....thoamas XD...surisly...It destroyed a coaster...and the place its self...i went on the day before all that they lived on was the luck that the rides wont break and that the ppl come...and besides...it didnt help when the place flooded...i remember seeing that >:D...*wishes he could some how ride goliath thru it*

  • @jad1032572 the decapitation was a dumb ass kid who jumped the fence to get his hat and the other one was a careless janitor not the rides fault lol

  • i know its been shut down but come on that was the best ride its the park. well besides goliath and the scrocher. they should have shut down the ninja that ish is a headache

  • @Randomdovey Exactly! I almost got a concussion (or whatever term for mild head hurting/irritation (lol im not a doctor) ) from riding it! What they need to do for the ninja, is add better head rests (lol im not a theme park tech either) for example: The Incredible Hulk (Universal orlando) has those head rests ninja needs. I rode that 4 times ina row, but ninja, ill never ride it again!

  • Great concept of a coaster IMO. It's been 10 years and I still think this ride is ahead of it's time. Very hard to find on this planet so enjoy it while you can. I only got to ride it about 5 times and loved every moment of it. This should teach Vekoma a lesson not to install prototypes in 3 different parks at once and expect it to work fine. Test it at one park first. If they didn't take down the DejaVu here in Atlanta, there would've been FATALITIES, so in a way, good riddance.

  • @ThrillersEscape

    Entirely agree with you

    They had the Viper there before Deja Vu which DID have fatalities.

  • @flyingcanadia13, Actually, Superman: Ultimate Flight sits on the old Viper site. I rode the Viper when that ride first came out when I was 10 back in 1995. The park has only had two fatalities from a rollercoaster and has been from the Batman ride only.

  • @JMarc85 ya the batman is the only place people have died. and it was from people being behind the fences while the ride was in operation. in other words..... people being dumbasses.

  • Mirabilandia, Brazil.

    I do not know the name of it now but you can look it up on google.

  • your not gonna get it back.

    Its down in brazil now.

  • T.T i cant believe they removed this thing. it was one of the reasons this park was worth going to.

  • I rode it the week before they removed it. It isnt that fun, and definately isnt the reason I go to six flags. It was a boring ride that was all about going backwards. The scream machine was my favorite ride. I got used to the bumpiness, and it no longer bothered me when I rode it. I heard that they're removing the scream machine since the flood may have messed up the wooden structure. (also because its old as hell) They should re-build a metal version of it!

  • @zlee415 nah the ride is still goin good. i think its too much of a classic for them to tear it down

  • @sonicfreak1995 nah man. I just went to six flags thursday, and deja vu is gone. Its been gone for quite some time now. I'm thinking either acrophobia, or the cyclone are the next rides to go.

  • @zlee415 nah i ment the scream machine. deja vu has been gone for a couple years now. and i hope they do not tear down acraphobia and cyclone! those are like almost my favorite rides! lol acraphobia has been closed all week though.... hope its just under maintainance

  • i wish they still had this ride up, but i can understand what Xorthos was saying. i would've rode this when i went on 4/3/09 if it wasn't gone

  • I talked to one of the mechanics at Six Flags one day about why it was taken down. During initial testing, the catch car that holds the train when it goes up the vertical towers derailed, and messed up a lot of stuff...practically beyond repair.

    They kept doing makeshift repairs, but the initial damage was so bad that breakdowns continued to occur, and it became too costly for them to keep repairing it just to have it re-break in a week.

  • why did they take it down??I know it had problems cuz everytime I went it was always shut down.

  • the deja vu was like the third most awesome ride there.... it was just the way it was built, it didn't function correctly.... i was one of the last people who rode it ---R.I.P Deja Vu---

    signed ----- Xx7upxX

  • Glad they finally took this thing down...piece of junk ran maybe twice in four years.

  • it was torn down like two yrs. ago

  • because there was too many problems with it so they took it down

  • they did tear it down lcouple of years ago

  • my friend told me then kept on shuting it down and had to many probelms

  • thats why they got rid of it

  • I lost my shoe from that ride but I loved that ride

  • sucks they took away this ride

  • When?

    I didn't know that

  • winter 2008

  • @Nunley222 y did they take it out??

  • @JaycoubbRulez I heard it was because it was always having technical difficulties. :(

  • they look like thier shitting themselves on one part LOL

  • ok how come at 0:27 the train travels all the way up the hill and the catch car is at the very top.

    i have ran trough every possibility and it doesnt make since.

  • it broke down too much they took it down for safety

  • see, I would've ridden that! Now it's Thomas Town... bleh.

  • That's what I'm saying. How do you replace a thrill ride... with a kiddie-land? SMH.

  • Comment removed

  • yea it was always getting stuck and all. See i was on my way to ride it and the i saw these ppl on it and they were stuck at the top where you can see at the begining and i was like ooo nooo lets go

  • i wish i would've rode it b4 they got rid of it :(

  • me too! ive ridden everything except this and i was planning to ride it this summer, but when i came, it was not there

  • ye... i went last saturday n it was iight without it i rode the goliath most of da time but i wish they still had it

  • i'm pretty sure i didnt see this ride when i went there 3 days ago

  • I was there 2 days ago. I wished they still had it there.

  • i wish they had that when i went last week!

  • dude why do u always film off ride are u too sissy to ride?

  • cause you get better footage off the ride. When you're on the ride the film turns out really bumpy and crappy.

  • i loved this ride..

    the feeling off the crappiness of the coaster made it a better scarier ride lol

  • i meant when i was 11

  • This ride was awesome......miss it.

  • i rode that! and it was awesome.

  • wheni was like 10 i rode this and now im 12

  • i rode that when i was like 1

  • lolwut, I rode it when I was -4.

  • I would NEVER ride that piece of crap!

    i've seen it get stuck too many times!

    lol..but seriously, i would never.

  • haha the ride went to the scrap metal yard outside of atlanta either that or they sold it, I remember when i went to the park back in 02 it was getting maintance done and no one was able to ride it, i was like damn that looks like a crazy ass fucking ride

  • WoW really?

  • it didn't go to scrap metal. they sold it to a different park >>

  • how do you know ? where did it go

  • they didnt sell it. they tore it down for good.

  • Sadly, I don't think it's coming back. Until SFOG can find millions of dollars for their park within the next year, the ride will be bought and established somewhere else. The ride has already been placed out in organized segments in the back of the park, when they do this, it usually means it is up for sale and will be exported soon.

  • ahh sucks thanks!

  • y did they remove the ride??? i went there and it wasnt there this weekend, its bullshit

  • Because it was "down for maintenance" more often than it was operational. The last time I had the chance to ride it (about two years ago) it was down twice while I was just standing in line. Eventually got to get on and go, though. :)

  • where do you get on the ride???

  • yea they removed it to make a stupid thomas the train ride. IM SO PISSED AT THEM

  • sucks

  • it sucks they got rid of it but im good as long as they dont take away the wheelie or thunder river

  • i have seen a similar one in hershey park if that helps

  • it was where thomas the train town is now

  • Where in the park was it?

  • I RODE THAT 13 TIMES IN A ROW YESTERDAY

  • must have been at sfmm, or that park that just got a Deja Vu and called it something else. cuz the one in Sfog is gone, and the one at SFA is gone too.

  • Liar, Its not even there anymore.

  • who are you fooling, kanuph999?

  • it kept breaking down and every time it did they had to import the materials from japan

  • They should've at least put another roller coaster insted of that piece of crap for children.

  • they tore the thing down because the coaster kept on failing.

  • R.I.P Deja Vu

  • they had one at 6 flags great american too in illinois

    it was broken down alot though

  • darn i hate the fact they teared it down i was going to ride it this year btw what r gs

  • I live 20 mins away in cobb..

    i dont get wat was so dangerous about this ride..

  • They had to tear it down because it exceeded the amount of 'g's allowed

  • Ahh thats why back in 2006..

    some kid just came off barfing and ran straight to that trash can right next to the entrace LoL...

    i heard alot of ppl barfed on this ride..

    how many Gs did it have?

  • I have no clue... just remember the news about them tearing it down because of the gs I think the max is 6.5 tho

  • thx..

    I love how i live 15 mins away..

    man i never got a chance to ride this tho..

  • That doesn't seem right though because they still have one thats the exact same at Magic Mountain. I thought it was because it broke down all the friggin time and cost to much to maintain.

  • GODAMN U Thomas Town! GODAMN U.

  • They Stole This Ride From SFMM

  • No they didnt, the one in Ga was the first, the copies came after the one in Sfog. But how ironic that the only one left is at SFMM hahah

  • the one from six flags great america is in silverwood theme park in Coeur D Alene, Idaho. its renamed aftershock.

  • this was the best ride there =[[

    im so pissed they tore it down!

  • that was the best ride ever! it was dangerous and that made it even better! i cried when the tore it down and built a stupid thomas the train thing.

  • Correct me if im wrong but at :28 catcher 2 is supposed to run up and catch the train while its climbing tower 2. WHY is the catcher already at the top. Wouldnt that be a miscatch? Actually wouldnt that cause an ESI or an RMC (we called em ESI's) if catcher 2 isnt at the lower part of the tower before dispatch? I thought the op couldnt dispatch unless it was down there waiting...

  • It wasnt all the way at the top, the Catcher can grab ahold at any point of the train, usually you will see the catcher lower than the one here...

  • but how did the train manage to travel all the way up the tower. thats pretty much impossible.
