MIRABILANDIA - Brazil
Olinda, Pernambuco, Brazil
(Formerly Playcenter Pernambuco)
???? - Sky Mountain (Deja Vu) & Spin Out - Delayed - (5/18/11) Ever wonder what happened to the former Déjà Vu coaster from Six Flags over Georgia? We know it was purchased and shipped off to Mirabilandia in Brazil, where it has been renamed Sky Mountain, but as of yet the park has not been able to install it.
According to my local source, the park really has no available space to build Sky Mountain. Management has been trying since early 2010 to get permission from the government to expand the park, allowing for the coaster to go up, but so far the government hasn’t been too helpful in making the process easy on the park. According to this article, it sounds like the land the park sits on is actually leased from the state government, where it sounds like the lease renewal for the park may not happen.
So for now the ride sits in pieces while the others seek to renew and expand the existing park, or they may move to ride and park itself to a new location in a nearby state if discussions with those governments proves fruitful. The park is on the small side it seems, and the article says it only had 30,000 guests last year, and was hoping Sky Mountain would drive up their attendance to 100,000.
(4/2/10) The first pieces of the former Déjà Vu coaster from Six Flags over Georgia have started to arrive at Mirabilandia – Brazil (See below). I’ve been told that while the coaster will be renamed, it will keep the same basic colors.
(2/26/10) The former Déjà Vu coaster is said to be arriving in Brazil within the next month or so, and the plan is to install the ride at Mirabilandia in time to open it over the winter holiday season.
(11/24/09) I’ve been told that Mirabilandia (Brazil) will also install a Chance Chaos for the 2010 season as well.
(11/18/09) According to a picture posted at Theme Park Review showing off something posted at IAAPA, the former Déjà Vu coaster from Six Flags over Georgia will be getting a new home at Brazil’s Mirabilandia for the 2010 season.
(11/10/09) Mirabilandia will open two new rides this season, one said to be a Spin Out style flat ride.

2012 - Wave Swinger - (6/22/11) It has been reported by Orlando Parks News that the old Wave Swinger from Orlando’s Old Town has been sold and moved to Mirabilandia in Brazil. At this point I’m not sure when they plan on opening it.
