Déjà Vu
The next generation suspended looping boomerang rollercoaster Déjà Vu is one of the world's tallest and fastest of its kind. Déjà Vu combines state-of-the-art thrill ride technology with a brand new twist. Riders will experience ultimate thrills flying forwards and backwards over twisting, looping inverted steel track.
Strapped into sleek ski-lift style chairs suspended from the track above, Déjà Vu sends riders dangling face-down up the first 90-degree tower, then dropping 178 feet at speeds of 65 miles per hour before racing head-over-heels on a 102 foot-tall vertical loop followed by an enormous 110-foot-tall butterfly turn before rocketing up the second 178-foot tower. This time, riders are on their back with nothing but the sky above their dangling feet. The heart-pounding rush accelerates as the entire thrill is experienced again, only this time . . . backwards! It's Déjà Vu !
Yeah... the picture doesn't quite do it justice, but man- it was awesome. What amazed me is that I didn't get sick! I was so happy. Other than that stuff, not too much has been going on. Work work work work. Hahahahaha oh yeah- yesterday Trent and I knocked this neighborhood that looked PRIME for pest control sales. After knocking for hours and having no luck AT ALL I finally noticed that every door had this thing on the door, and I didn't know what it was. I asked a man that came to the door what it was and it is some Jewish tradition to put that on the door.... hmmm... everybody has one.... this is a Jewish community. Oh, and what day is it?? Saturday!! Their Sabbath!! Hmmm... no wonder we were doing so crappy!! That is like a salesman coming around on Sunday in Utah! Arg. I guess I learned my lesson.

Just reading about those rides made me want to hurl.
Funny about the Jewish community. You should go back another day. From what I hear, they've got monies.
It's weird. I can tell I'm getting old because a ride like that use to seem awesome and fun, but now it just seems tedious and wrong. I haven't been on one for a long time, though. Maybe I'd still like it.
Too bad about the Jews.
That does look like throw up city. I could not handle that crazy deja vu ride. Was the superman ride busy because of the movie coming out or were all the rides that long of a line?
That's funny about the Jews - I bet they loved you guys. hehehe
The worst thing about six flags is the lines. Every ride takes literally like 90 minutes if it's a Saturday. It was way worth it when I was 16 but maybe not so much now.
Oh Mandi, that made me laugh, how do you think up the wording? Tedious and wrong says it all.
I think the Jewish community is noted for their conservativism - just like the Mormons. I had a meat salesman come to our door- he was blond and good looking - just like Zak. I really felt bad to give him my No answer. Come on - who needs big piles of meat?
I get sick riding the baby boats at lagoon - you'd NEVER get me on a ride like that. Unfortunately all us moore kids can't handle barf rides. We took Hillary to Busch Gardens several years ago, when we visited Tom's parents in Florida. His parents came and while Tom and Hillary rode barf rides, I got to walk around with the old people and sit on benches for hours at a time, whew! The excitement was too much! (eye roll). At least Disney has rides I can do. I hate being a barfer.
Zak: Sorry I haven't blogged for a while. The temple has been really busy so I am blogging at home. Six flags sounds fun, except I too am a hurler as you know. There are certain rides that I can handle, but the deja vu one sounds like definitely throw up city.
Sounds like you're doing well. You just need to remember, i before e except after c.
