I don't think anyone would actually hatemail them...I know I wouldn't!
1) It's so rude, lol! 2) I don't hate them that much, they have some amazing concepts for rides! I mean, Two-Face at SFA is pure awesomeness! It was in my Top Ten for a little while, actually...
Sure they're not the best, but you gotta admit that if they were smoother, they'd all be pretty darn sweet!

I really cant complain about Vekoma too much. The two I have ridden are perfectly enjoyable and though they may not be the smoothest, or in my top-ten, they sure do provide a nice thrilling, fun, and often disorienting ride. I imagine they do get some mail about how their coasters are fairly rough, but its more likely for the GP to e-mail the park, not Vekoma.

Other than the pain-staking ride on Gauntlet, most Vekoma rides aren't that bad. Rock-n-Rollercoaster, Everest, Chaos, they aren't all that bad.

Who made the mistake in designing DeJa Vu? Vekoma!

If Deja Vu could run a lot more than it does, then I think they'd have a solid ride. They just need to work more with the system, I guess. The ride, though, look pretty awesome!
In my opinion, if I love Two-Face (Vekoma Invertigo), then I think I'd love Deja Vu!

If anything, I'd mail them about one-train operation, and that's not even their fault.
Oddly enough, the two most painful coasters I've been on (Viper @ SFMM and Magnum @ CP) were both Arrows.

Yeah, neither did I! The airtime was a little brutal on the thighs, is that what you meant by rough?

In my opinion, if I love Two-Face (Vekoma Invertigo), then I think I'd love Deja Vu! The problem with Vu is because Vekoma thought that installing timers on the ride would make life good. Well, it didn't. Timers fail because if the train is moving too slow or too fast, it will miscatch on the towers. Thats why they should have just stuck with using prox switches.

^^ Timers? That's the first time I've heard anything about timers on Deja Vu... (I'm confused)

^^^Yeah, I have no idea what a prox is...NERD!!! Joking But, I think DeJe Vu is an awesome coaster. Any coaster with a verticle drop rocks! (except Superman:TheEscape)

^^ Timers? That's the first time I've heard anything about timers on Deja Vu... (I'm confused) The ride uses timers. That is, the ride computer is programmed to detect the train after a certain ammount of time. Instead of using proximity (prox) switches which detects the train as it passes by. ^^^Yeah, I have no idea what a prox is...NERD!!! Joking But, I think DeJe Vu is an awesome coaster. Any coaster with a verticle drop rocks! (except Superman:TheEscape) Like I just wrote, prox switches are used to register the trains position with ride computer. If you look closely at the track (station, lift and brake run), you will notice little green boxes on the track. Those are called prox switiches. I know all of this because I have connections within a theme park.
