My review of Deja Vu

On August 24 of the year 2001 I woke up to my alarm clock at 7:00 am and got dressed in my Deja Vu t-shirt. At 7:45 we picked up my friend Daniel to set off for Magic Mountain.
We arived at the park at about 9:00am and was treated very nicly by the park for transportation to the ride. When ariving all you could see were these two stricking blue towers with green track and it was massive. They were already running the ride to the twins befor the inaugural run but as soon as I was next it was closed until 10:00 am. While waiting for the first ride I got to meet David Escalante, Ric Turner, Del Holand, and Andy Galardo. The seat for the first ride were auctioned off for charity but some people didn't want to ride so my mom myself and my friend boarded for the inaugural ride at 9:55. At 10:00 am sharp a horn went off telling the ride opps to get ready. They hit the button and we were gone up the first tower backwards at 196 ft. and we were in the second to last row and thats high up! Theres no time to rest as we go flying down the tower and into the 110 ft. tall boomerang breaking through a banner. Then to the 102 ft. tall loop and then up the second tower. Once again no time to rest as we did the ride backwards! As we got off a swarm of media crowded us for our oppinion. Through the day I rode 14 times and got to be in my local news paper and on the news 8 times. Overall the ride was great! Scale of 1-10 it was a 10.

Hope to see you there for the X opening!
