Tatsu!

CoasterMatt · 05-11-2006, 04:46 PM

I had an absolute blast at the media day of Tatsu, the new flying coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain.

Definitely the best coaster at SFMM (which isn't saying TOO much), Tatsu is the kind of coaster that I always hope I'll find when looking for another good one.

I'll post some pics when my brain knits.

Matt, was that you I saw being interviewed by K-CAL 9 today? Or was that another Matt?

CoasterMatt · 05-11-2006, 05:27 PM

I am really tired right now, but as far as I know, I wasn't interviewed by K-CAL 9

Ooh, must have pictures! Very cool!

CoasterMatt · 05-11-2006, 08:59 PM

Well, I did a crazy people camp out, but at 3 in the morning, I got this pic...

Imagine Fantasmic's opening lights - but covering the ENTIRE top of Magic Mountain.

The coaster even made the news out here on the bitter east coast.

I think that's the first time SFMM has made the news here since, err ummm, ever.

Everyone at school has been raving about it. One of my friends is a ride operator on it, and he said that they have been having some major problems with the system, though.

Of course, he is also the one who E-Stopped Superman when I went on it because he saw "something on the track". It costs $4,000 to restart the ride.

Major problems with Tatsu?

Interesting, because the ride has been running with 3 train operation for 2 days now, with only a few minor 10-7s(shutdowns). Today they were running 30-50 second dispatches, with a few guest related hiccups.
