From what I hear now, they've begun to start the supports of TDK

Nope, no supports yet. The construction schedule is foundations / concrete in January, the building will go up in February, and the ride will be built in March.
It's Whizzer time!

Is DejaVu only leaving Great America or all Six Flags parks? I went on it at Magic Mountain I thought it was fun.

Those above pics from redfishpaw openned another question...
How do they repaint rollercoasters, like Raging Bull?? Do they use cherry pickers, scaffolding, etc.??? It must be difficult especially with the high altitude and the winds of winter Illinois!

I hope that something better will replace deja vu.

From what the park president said, it'll connect the SF spot too.
