Trains are put on the track of Deja Vu and X construction progresses.

Posted | Contributed by xbombman

The Deja Vu trains have been put on the track, Hopefully testing will begin soon.

As for X, the raven turn is now complete. Some new turnaround supports have gone up as well.

Footers have been poured for Thrill Shot and pieces were being put on flatbeds.

No offense, Six Flags, but every time you post something about Deja Vu, it never comes true.

"why do i get the feeling this thing will have lots of clearance issues....."

If you are talking about X, I was thinking the same thing.

I have tried to bring that up nicely before....dozens of statements presented as fact that are always wrong doesn't amount to credibility in my book. After all, geez, how is SFGAm's Deja Vu going to receive it's final test in 1-2 weeks without the train even being on the track!? And SFMM's being ready in 1-2 weeks also? After saying that they would open by the end of April, then saying they would be open on May 25th, and so on....I can't believe anything that fellow says anymore. No offense buddy, honestly, but you might want to get some confirmation on your facts sometime! :)

i was thinking bout X, glitch.
but if you look closely at the floor of vu's station, you see that the floor directly under the train is separated from the floor on the sides, which makes me think it will drop out as it does on batman
also Karl over at www.twistedrails.com just posted a new update

x looks simply amazing.WOW that raven turn is huge i just went to the mountain yesterday.


Also did anyone here black out on GOLIATH .
Let your brain do flips over this:
Each car on X weighs about three and a half tons.
Their are seven cars in each train.
Do the math. 28 tons!
Am M1 Abrahms tank weighs 24 tons.
Now drop it 200 ft.
'kind'a boggles the mind, eh?

X will put every roller coaster ever built to shame!!
Mabey that's why "x" has the special track eh? And by the way, X won't have any problem with clearance with it's surroundings. The track is at least 8 ft wide. You have know idea how large it is, untill you see it!

ms696969: Check out http://badnitrus.danimation.com/ and click on "Coasters", then scroll down and click on "Alien". It's still under construction, but it's an imaginary LAUNCHED 4th dimension coaster with a vertical loop and a cobra roll, among other things! It looks like the possibilities of these things may be limitless, if parks can afford to buy them, and I would be perfectly happy if no one ever built anything BUT bigger and better 4th dimension coasters from now on! But surely the trains don't weigh THAT much! Those tiny little crossties could never support that much weight without snapping! I would think that 3 1/2 tons is more likely the weight of the whole train, not a single car. Think about it: A single car weighs MORE than your average full size pickup truck? I think not! If those trains really are that heavy, and it actually WORKS, then X should win another world record for the most amazing technical feat of engineering of the 21st century!

WHOA

For those commenting on the trains weighing being too much: the Millennium Force (among others)trains also weigh about 28 tons. That's not terribly unusual, but pretty darn heavy when you stop to think about it!

Shuttles like Deja Vu can only have one train, unless or until they use the cool trackwork from X-Flight where you can have "railroad-type" switches. That was so cool, I was really impressed, Vekoma is getting better everyday!

Also, X will push the limits of coasterdom. I can't wait for ACE CoasterCon XXV - the Ultimate in Coaster Conventions!

Mr. Freeze has more than one train and it's a shuttle. Seriously though, X looks Xcellent and I really can't wait for Deja Vu since I personally am a fan of invertigos. But maybe they should have bought a super invertigo from Intamin instead.
So Deja Vu has trains? Y'all mean "train" because "they" can only have one train in the station.
The raven turn on "X" is crazy.
