SFMM 2006, the big reveal...

Talk about anything that has to do with the amusement park industry here.
Postby CoastsToCoasters on November 17th, 2005, 8:13 am
TATSU...

November 17th, todays the day The new B&M flying coaster is announced, just look what it is.
check it out :D

http://sixflags.com/parks/magicmountain

The tallest and fastest flying coaster, a B&M so its gotta be superb, and the elements are what blow me away.....its the shear desifn and height of them. The trains are a bit odd with the dragon head, but hopefully all of MM's attention will not be brought upon tatsu. They should focus on other things as well....anyways,
ENJOY :wink:

Puts Superman Ultimate Flight to SHAME!!!!! Honestly, Superman is WAY to short!!!! Im starting to Dislike the ride....really should have made it longer... SFMM really needs to focus again on Customer Service and maybe updating EVERY AREA of the park to make it looks like a themepark....geez, my cousin took a video one day when they went there and i noticed alot of areas there aint much to do but walk around and get on coasters!!! sounds kinda boring to me

Its a lot like S:UF in a way, just taller and longer.

I can see a lot of problems happening with guests getting hit by tree branches..

I hope the dragon head is really on the trains

Well, SUF has had 3 seasons in the books and I can't ride it more than 5 times before the shakage gets to me.

This has A LOT of the same elements, and is 70 feet taller. The shakage could be ruthless after a few years.

Wow, just yesterday I was saying I don't think I should go to SFMM because of how bad it is, now this makes me want to go even more than before. I want to try out some of their coasters so bad. This definitely looks way better than SUF, I especially like how all the inversions are.

Orient Express is the ride that takes you up the mountian right? If so, I saw pics of it being trashed due to Tatsu construction. All of the track was removed.

This looks like this can beat out Air.

I'm really delighted to see that the pretzel isn't the first element, though I wish they would of released a picture of just the layout, but things have to be complicated. :roll:

If they actually use the dual station, they get a round of applause. Run it at FULL capactity...standing ovation!

This coaster looks great. Man this pretzel loop is going to be huge. SUF's loop is 78 ft tall and Tatsu's is going to be 124 ft tall. That is so much bigger, about a 46 ft difference. The funny thing is that the drop is only 111 ft. That is only 11 ft bigger. I know that it is because of the Terrain of Tatsu, but it's just wierd. I can't believe how the pretzel loop is almost last. This ride doesn't look like it will last that much longer though, it is just way more intense.

Just imagine this 46 feet taller. That will be insane. That will be like taking one half of Supermans Pretzel and adding it on to Tatsu's Pretzel.

Yes it is the ride that takes you up the mountain. They only removed one section of track. The ride is now undergoing a much needed refurbishment. Anyway, this is definitely a way better addition than Scream was, it already has the media swarming all over it. I'm actually looking forward to this coaster now, it's pretty impressive looking.

taller, faster, more inversion than superman tatsu can eat superman alive. Why sf give all the record breaking rides to mm and great adventure? they should stop ignoring other sf parks including sfga and put a record breaker in sfga.
