For once i actually agree with GangstaFruit (like you didnt know we wouldnt figure it was you, kacbmi? i mean seriously) I dont think that was funny "Water dummies pee on us?" pretty unintelligent and not very funny where i sit. But i digress.


Sweet looking ride

That 45 degree lift looks amazing.

This is turning out to be a really amazing flyer.

This think might just give AIR a run for its money.

I think the point is that he was nice enough to post the video, not whether their side comments were funny or not. Thanks again Robb!

Looks to be a 100 times better than that pathetic excuse for a flyer we have.

How forceful do you think it will be? I know that pretzel loop might pack some serious Gs. Do you think the general public is ready? 8)

Think of Superman's (whimpy) pretzel but about twice the size!

^Yeah, I know, and when i think about how the G forces feel pretty strong on Superman, I can't even imagine the Gs on Tatsu! I sure wish i was heading to California sometime this decade.

I dont know how tall SUF's pretzel loop is, but the entire coaster is 106' tall. Tatsu's pretzel loop is 124' :lol:

EDIT: heres a comparison

Coaster Count: 128
#1 Coaster: El Toro

Actually it might be just as intense.

It won't be flying through the bottom of the pretzel as fast it seems.
Anyone remember the trim at the bottom of it?

SUF's pretzel loop is 74 ft. I'm pretty sure about that. But correct me if I'm wrong. I don't think that the g's on Tatsu's pretzel loop will have more g's than SUF's pretzel, the g's will just last longer. They won't be more extreme though. The reason is because the Pretzel is larger. If they kept it the same size with Tatsu's speed, well then the g's would be higher but they wouldn't last as long. It's hard to explain but anybody that understands common physics would understand.

^I know what you mean, that does make sense. It's been a while since i took physics, I get to next year though, I'll have to keep that logic in mind. :)
