williamj2543 Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Nice to see them doing some work on this "should be" awesome little wooden coaster. When running well, it's the hidden gem of the park. I could not agree more with this. Anybody going to the park this weekend? I'm curious what the current status is of Tatsu. They have had a crane on site all week doing the re-installation of the chain and motor. It should hopefully be up tomorrow but I have no confirmation on that. The whole ride or just the chain/motor back on the lift hill? I am going on the 19th for the first time (and probably only time in the next couple years as I live quite far away)] so I really hope one of their top rides is up!

JGuy Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 According to California Coaster Kings, Riddler's Revenge will be repainted bright green and yellow supports...

Password121 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I really like the color scheme the ride has as is, but upkeep is always a good sign. Especially for this park. So there's really no room to complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelwee Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Kind of an odd color scheme. I'm interested to see what it looks like in real life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoinItForTheFame Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 That's not the worst color scheme out there. . . But yeah, I'm not loving it either. Then again, Chettah Hunt has the same colors and it looks fine, so... Maybe there is hope!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatdaddy Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 And according to Theme Park Review and official renderings of "Justice League - Battle for Metropolis 4D" from SFMM... Remember these are just renderings and nothing is set in stone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drummermattk Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 ^ I'm pretty sure the color for Riddler's Revenge looks to be set in stone. From Screamscape: Some other details uncovered as part of today’s visit, Riddler, as part of the Metropolis makeover, is scheduled to receive some new paint, in the form of yellow supports, and a new shade of green for the track Personally, I don't like Riddler's paint job, the old one looks A LOT better.. BUT JUST WAIT! Give it about 2-3 years and we'll see more ugliness if they install one of those damn Joker 4-D Free spins with the god awful color scheme.

fatdaddy Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 The point being that they are still being vague about about some things, other than the ride itself that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since they have a zac spin, do you think they would really put A Joker clone in?? I mean La Ronde has two inverts and SFNE has a boomerang and a GIB, but I don't see the biggest park in the chain Installing two similar rides.

bostonlva Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 some other news from Screamscape Some other details uncovered as part of today’s visit: Riddler, as part of the Metropolis makeover, is scheduled to receive some new paint, in the form of yellow supports, and a new shade of green for the track. Recent visitors will have noted that the observation tower has been shut down for the past year. Regulations pertaining to the elevators were recently updated, and appropriate measures must be taken to conform to the new laws. The tower is expected to be down for the remainder of 2017. Apocalypse is getting some much needed attention in the form of a partial retracking. No scheduled reopening date at this time, but work is progressing as quickly as possible to ensure a smoother ride in time for this year’s visitors. Tatsu’s scheduled refurbishment has been completed, and the popular flying coaster will reopen when the park begins daily operation. http://www.screamscape.com/html/six_flags_magic_mountain.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBpony414 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Would 3/25 be considered daily operation for Tatsu? Sounds like next weekend it will still be closed if Screamscape is correct which is a bummer for me since I love flyers, have never ridden it, and will be there 3/19.

Jew Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I feel like "regulations changing" is just the standard excuse for sky tower now... Also, the plaza area looks pretty plain if the renderings are accurate. Almost like they intend for it to be the overflow queue instead of part of a nice new area.

I mean La Ronde has two inverts and SFNE has a boomerang and a GIB, but I don't see the biggest park in the chain Installing two similar rides. While I think it's unlikely, it isn't impossible given the way Six Flags has been homogenizing its parks. Typically SFMM has been immune to such homogenization, avoiding copy and paste rides like Sky Screamer, Super Loop, Gerstlauer Spinner etc; But now with a new CEO and SF wanting to reduce capex, we could see more copy and paste attractions at MM starting with this year's JL. SF could easily pack up Green Lantern and move it to GE or SFA and put an S&S 4D in its spot. It'd be a way for SF to essentially get two "new" additions for the price of one and assure a return by putting the S&S at the bigger park. Though a free spin is probably twice the footprint length wise as Green Lantern, they'd find a way to squeeze it in. Or possiblrly put the S&S in Deja Vu's old spot to get some life into the back of the park. This is all hypothetical and I think unlikely to occur. That being said, I'm probably in the 99th percentile of folks who'd hate to see GL leave. It does hurt at times, but it's such a weird, crazy, intense experience.

I'm in the exact same boat as you, planning to be there on the 19th and this will be a big vacation for me, I will rarely get the chance to come here again.
