Yesterday, I had the most amazing experience at Six Flags Magic Mountain. As I walked through the entrance gates, a feeling of déjà vu swept over me. It was as if I had been here before, but I couldn't recall when or why. Nevertheless, I shrugged off the eerie sensation and decided to make the most of my day at the amusement park. I eagerly made my way to the first roller coaster, X2. This coaster is known for its unique 4th dimensional experience, and as I sat in the front row, I couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.
This coaster is known for its unique 4th dimensional experience, and as I sat in the front row, I couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. As the ride took off, the twists and turns were exhilarating, and I screamed with both fear and delight. It was a thrilling experience that left me craving for more.
Six Flags Magic Mountain to remove Deja Vu coaster
Six Flags Magic Mountain will relinquish sole ownership of the coveted title of “Roller Coaster Capital of the World” later this year when the Valencia, Calif., amusement park removes one of its record-setting 18 coasters.
Magic Mountain boasted of nabbing the coaster title when the Green Lantern: First Flight spinning coaster officially opened in July. The removal of Deja Vu will move Magic Mountain back into a statistical tie with Cedar Point in Ohio, which also has 17 coasters.
Deja Vu is expected to close in October, meaning Magic Mountain will have held the uncontested coaster crown for a mere four months.
Built in 2001, the Vekoma boomerang-style Deja Vu coaster with suspended cars features a 102-foot-tall loop and a 110-foot-tall cobra roll, with riders traveling along the 1,200-foot-long track twice, once forward and once backward, according to Roller Coaster Database.
Prone to down time and rough rides, Deja Vu is one of my least favorite coasters at the park and will not be missed. Similar versions of the outdated ride have been disappearing from bigger parks around the world, finding new homes and extended lives at smaller parks.
Deja Vu is expected to be relocated to Six Flags New England , with an official announcement anticipated in early September. The local planning board recently approved plans for a giant inverted boomerang coaster at the Massachusetts amusement park.
The move is a curious one, considering Six Flags New England already has an older, smaller, shorter and slower model of the Vekoma boomerang-style inverted shuttle coaster called Flashback.
Deja Vu will replace the Shipwreck Falls shoot the chutes water ride at Six Flags New England. The park has no plans to remove Flashback.
Deja Vu is expected to open with a new name at Six Flags New England in summer 2012. Expect to see Six Flags relocate more old rides to new parks within the amusement chain for 2012.
After X2, I ventured to Tatsu, a coaster notorious for its intense flying sensation. As I soared through the air, flipping and diving, I couldn't shake off the feeling that I had done this before. The rush of adrenaline was infectious, and I found myself grinning from ear to ear. The thrill of the ride was beyond compare, and I couldn't wait to see what else the park had in store for me. Next on my list was Goliath, an infamous hyper coaster that promised to deliver an unforgettable experience. As the coaster climbed to its peak, I couldn't help but anticipate the upcoming drop. The moment the coaster plummeted at breakneck speed, I felt a sense of déjà vu wash over me. The wind whipped through my hair as I screamed in a mixture of terror and joy. It was an adrenaline rush like no other, and I couldn't get enough of it. Throughout the day, I went on numerous other jaw-dropping rides such as Twisted Colossus, Full Throttle, and Lex Luthor: Drop of Doom. Each time I strapped myself into a new ride, the feeling of déjà vu intensified. It was as if I had experienced these rides in a previous lifetime, and the familiarity added an extra layer of excitement to my day. As the night fell and the park came alive with dazzling lights, I reflected on my day at Six Flags Magic Mountain. The feeling of déjà vu had lingered throughout the day, but it didn't dampen my adventurous spirit. Instead, it made me appreciate the incredible rides and experiences even more. Six Flags Magic Mountain had provided me with a day full of thrills, chills, and déjà vu, and I left the park with memories that would last a lifetime..

1. Amanda - 2 stars
I was really looking forward to riding Deja Vu at Six Flags Magic Mountain, but unfortunately, it was a complete letdown. The ride was incredibly rough, and it felt like I was being tossed around like a ragdoll the entire time. The loops and inversions were not smooth at all, and it left me feeling disoriented and nauseous. The overall experience was quite disappointing, and I wouldn't recommend this ride to anyone who values their comfort and well-being.
2. Michael - 1 star
I've been on my fair share of roller coasters, but Deja Vu at Six Flags Magic Mountain was by far the worst one I've ever experienced. The ride was so jerky and rough that it actually caused me physical pain. The inversions were not enjoyable at all, and it felt like I was being violently thrown from one end of the ride to the other. The design of the coaster seemed poorly thought out, and it lacked any excitement or thrill factor. I would strongly advise anyone to skip this ride and opt for something more enjoyable and smoother.

Deja Vu at Six Flags Magic Mountain was a major disappointment for me. The ride itself had potential with its unique inverted boomerang layout, but the execution was poor. The coaster was incredibly rough, and it felt like my head was constantly banging against the restraints. The inversions were not smooth at all, and the whole experience was simply uncomfortable. Moreover, the wait time for this particular ride was longer than expected, and it didn't make up for the lackluster experience. I would recommend avoiding this ride if you're looking for a fun and enjoyable roller coaster experience.
