Knott's construction continues while Magic Mountain fires up Deja Vu

Posted | Contributed by James Disney

Knott's Berry Farm is continuing work on removing all traces of Windjammer. Footers are now being removed and everything should be ready in a few weeks to begin work on the new ride. They are also continuing work on VertiGo. Footers are being readied with rebar and should be poured in the next few days. Halloween Haunt maze construction is also highlighted.

A few pages of Magic Mountain photos show the progress just a few days before the opening of Deja Vu with final preparations being made for the ride's debut.

putting trim brakes on x is like putting trim brakes on millenium force
One coaster no one has mentioned for trim brakes, Cedar Fair better not add any trim brakes on Shivering Timbers if they do they will wreck one great coaster! Shivering Timbers is my #1 woodie!
A train valleying is when it stops on the course somewhere that it is not supposed to. Usually that would mean not making up a hill somewhere, where it would then roll back down that hill backwards into the "valley" between hills, where it will rock and roll back and forth for a while until it finally loses all of it's momentum. I've heard of it taking an hour sometimes for a train to stop rocking when it's valleyed. The brakes there would, in essence, stop the train at the bottom of the valley without it having to rock, so they wouldn't have to wait for it to stop before getting people off of it.
