the only vekoma boomerang ive been on is the sea serpant at wildwood nj. really fun ride. ill be going on flying cobras this summer. a suspended version of it seems really cool. i bet that was a blast 👍👍👍
This coaster was plagued with problems in the lift system but definitely one of the best ever made. I wonder could it be redesigned using an LIM system instead of cables? I don't think LIM technology was perfected when this coaster design was first produced.
@persianking44 This ride can only operate in 65+ degrees. Any less then that can cause the ride to slow down majorly and valley in the cobra roll or miscatch.
@zookeychan Im a ride operator at silverwood and i have been up at aftershock. great coaster. but honestly this is the last original deja vu so i dont know why they are moving it.
You know, it does make more sense for SFNE to have it instead of SFMM. Since the park operates seasonally, and the ride is down for at least a 1/3 of the year, its perfect for SFNE.
Any word on what is going in DeJaVu's place? Kinda sad...but, since I live in Montana and am near Silverwood, I still have one of these babys driving distance away (AfterShock--and they sell AfterShock tees and tin ornament dioramas hehe)---these Vekomas are the only kind of Vekomas I'll actually ride---I'd LOVE to see a dark ride version of one!
The break downs were VERY frequent over the summer, but whenever I go there when it isn't blazing hot outside, the ride runs fine. Maybe the heat is what's hurting it.
steven11smith this ride always ran perfectly in spring time I was always there and would marathon this ride for 3 days ever since it was taken out I don't even bother with going in that back corner I just walk through there cause theirs nothing in that back corner and apocalypse will eventually rot away
@NorthwestCoasters17 Oh nice your park was cool :-) Yeah I have no idea why they are moving it either--especially after MM made all the fuss of 'We have the most coasters in the world again' after the opening of Green Lantern--wouldn't this put them back to being tied with Cedar Point? Although, technically speaking, I think Cedar Point (from the vids I have seen) has better rides overall--I love X2, Tatsu and Apocalypse but there is more I wanna ride at Cedar Point hehe
@Coaster123ification If you go to six flags on the 17th which is a saturday you will not be able to cover the whole park unless you get a flashpass which are like 100$ each. If you go on sunday (the 18th) you still will not be ale to go on every ride but you'll probably get to go on every roller coaster give or take 3 or 4. Your best bet if you don't want to get a flashpass, go on tuesday or thursday. Hope I helped!
Six Flags is cheap, but smart. They used a marketing strategy. They took apart and rebuilt this at Six Flags New England. The people who have never been here but go to the other Six Flags would think it's a whole new ride, thus attracting more customers. The only problem is, this ride broke down too much when it was Deja-Vu, and still does as Goliath.
The new location for this coaster looks so unaesthetic. Its literally placed in the midway and the way it looked in the backdrop of Magic Mountain right next to Apocalypse made it look awesome. Now it's just placed right Next to a ANOTHER god damn boomerang. It's so weird and triggering. They could literally bring this back to SFNE if they wanted to right back into the place of where it originally was and add a whole new needed attraction to new england.
I am always going to remember this ride from Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 :)
R.I.P. Deja Vu I went there on Thursday and not seeing this ride there made me sad in all kinds of ways you will be missed :'(
Just imagine if this was still here along with West Coast Racers and Apocalypse, and possibly two good flat rides in that area.

It IS. It got taken down, set back up in New England, and renamed Golaith. So no surprise that it looks like it.
It raised my pulse.

so, it was like a giant version of invertigo basically?
I've seen this thing in action, but have yet to go this one or any of them to be exact.
This roller coaster is insane on the second drop
I loved the very back seat on this ride. I wanted to be pushed as high up as possible fist pumping the whole drop!!
Same to me in Parque Warner’s Stunt Fall (my favourite row is the 14): the more back you seat, the highest you rise in the first tower.
@persianking44 This ride can only operate in 65+ degrees. Any less then that can cause the ride to slow down majorly and valley in the cobra roll or miscatch.
@cdgunzz97 Somewhere in Crackaxle Canyon, I believe. It will be named Goliath.
My 2nd favorite ride at Magic Mountain behind X2 so sad they moved it. Very Scary and Thrilling ride
@zookeychan Im a ride operator at silverwood and i have been up at aftershock. great coaster. but honestly this is the last original deja vu so i dont know why they are moving it.
Dorney Park is making an exact model of this roller coaster, called Stinger.
You know, it does make more sense for SFNE to have it instead of SFMM. Since the park operates seasonally, and the ride is down for at least a 1/3 of the year, its perfect for SFNE.
Listen ppl! We here in California had this ride first but six flags sold it to u guys in England so yes it's the same one gosh

I Miss Deja Vu 😔
I dont know if is this ride, but, there is a Park near here, and they have this ride, is it from six flags new england?

Would 1 day at six flags(17 or 18 december) be enough to cover the park?
How long would the wait times be?

@CoasterForce Can i use your DeJaVu Videos?
Please use the Contact Us form on our website for video use inquiries: coasterforce.com/contact/
YESSS!!!!! YAYAAA its going to the closest sixflags near me:) YAYAYA cant wait till next year!
@wwwCOASTERFORCEcom I understand. They're both good rollercoasters anyway..
Is it gone already or when are they going to remove it? This SUCKS I love this ride so much :'(. Hopefully they replace it with something awesome.
This is going to look amazing at SFNE!
Where will it be placed?
It was placed in crack axle canyon
They placed it next to their other boomerang…

The wooden coaster by Deja Vu looks like Pysclone.
Its Apocalypse
WHY would they take this out and destroy the coaster record? They should have just bought a new one for New England! Vekoma does still make these new.
The new location for this coaster looks so unaesthetic. Its literally placed in the midway and the way it looked in the backdrop of Magic Mountain right next to Apocalypse made it look awesome.

@LemusFamilyof5 What why!?
Are glasses allowed on Six Flags rides?
Yes, with a strap
@Zerb012345 I believe 196ft each
That sucks. It's been moved like 2 times already. >= U
it looks a lot like a longer version of the bat at canadas wonderland
The Bat is a standard boomerang, this is a Giant Inverted Boomerang.
Thus looks EXACTLY like Goliath!!! Ta hell is this!!!?
Marcella Silva Goliath WAS this Déjà Vu....dummy
@figuresk8r1217dawsome and it's going next to flashback, too :)
@wwwCOASTERFORCEcom Déja Vu = Giant Inverted Boomerang, Stingray = Invertigo.
NOOO WHY??????
Hey! This is ours! Give it back you tea drinking sissys! You guys don't even know how to play with it right!
@wwwCOASTERFORCEcom cool id really love to ride it ^^
stinks i was little and short when this was still at great america so i didnt ride it
