chaos Posted December 25, 2006 Posted December 25, 2006 That's interesting. I'll probably watch it if I don't have anything else to do on those days. It will probably be a little boring, though since everyone here covered the ride's construction so closely.
ginzo Posted December 25, 2006 Posted December 25, 2006 At Six Flags Magic Mountain the worlds longest, fastest and tallest Flying Roller Coaster is under construction. If the Park can't get the ride up, tested and ready for the Spring break crowds 2007 this 21 million dollar investment won't be worth a penny. Huh? That sounds exagerrated to me. Sure they lost some revenue by not having it open when they wanted, but it's hardly worthless. Like they're going to recoup $21 million in CAPEX in a few weeks.
Wes Posted December 25, 2006 Posted December 25, 2006 ^ What's even funnier is that Tatsu didn't even open until May...WAAAAY after the "spring break crowds". ARTIFICIAL DRAMA AT IT'S BEST!! EDIT: Also just saw it says 2007...so yeah, if they didn't get Tatsu open for SPRING BREAK 07 I'd say they would have major problems on their hand. Good thing they beat their super tight deadline by 10 months!
DATman Posted December 25, 2006 Posted December 25, 2006 They did the same thing with Kingda Ka. The whole thing was: WILL THEY GET IT TO WORK IN TIME? It made me laugh, seeing as that was, what, two years ago?
Wes Posted December 25, 2006 Posted December 25, 2006 ^ Yeah, and two years later, it still has issues!
Gnome Posted December 25, 2006 Posted December 25, 2006 ^ your mom has issues Burned! Anyways, I'll probably watch it. After all, Tatsu is so freaking kewl.
Homer Posted December 25, 2006 Posted December 25, 2006 LOL, UR MOM JOKES R FUNNEH!!!!1111!!1 *ahem* I think this show already premiered in Britain (why? I do not know) and I am wondering if: 1. Any R&E interviews on there? 2. Any TPR members make it on any of the post ride interviews, or did they choose the usual ditzy whorish girls to do the POV for us? 3. Egg turn?
TheBannedKid Posted December 25, 2006 Posted December 25, 2006 Dan from RCPro is on there...so be ready for a that will get all up in your face about having the first test video. But yes it did air in Britain a while back, not sure what it consists of...
ginzo Posted December 25, 2006 Posted December 25, 2006 ^ What's even funnier is that Tatsu didn't even open until May...WAAAAY after the "spring break crowds". ARTIFICIAL DRAMA AT IT'S BEST!! EDIT: Also just saw it says 2007...so yeah, if they didn't get Tatsu open for SPRING BREAK 07 I'd say they would have major problems on their hand. Good thing they beat their super tight deadline by 10 months! Is SoCal even much of a Spring Break destination? I've thought that all the college meatheads went to Florida or Cancun for Spring Break, but that might just be because I'm from the midwest. I can never think of Spring Break without thinking of Bruno's skit on the beach with the wrestling team. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyGQoPWY0ng Be sure to watch the end, because that's the best part. He totally nails them.
Dark Vampire Posted December 25, 2006 Posted December 25, 2006 Could anyone capture it and put it online? Dont have discovery channel here in Belgium.
RollermanDan Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 To the admins: Is it possible to have TJ's comment removed please? Or atleast edited? It's uneccissary to have comments like that. Well anywho, show should be interesting to watch, hope that's lots of neat angles.

Well anywho, show should be interesting to watch, hope that's lots of neat angles. Ok, I've edited it. But Dan, seriously, you should know that you need really thick skin to read these forums. We make fun of each other ALL THE DAMN TIME. Here watch.... "Hey TJ, when are you going to stop having gay sex with all those tech geeks at school and find yourself a real girl....like Jahan!" See? --Robb "Who has had worse things said about me from TJ and it never bothered me!" Alvey
TheBannedKid Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 Lol, well I'm sorry Robb you were the one who personally introduced me to them. Even demonstrated how to woo them...but sorry, it just didn't workout with me not being gay and with them fantasizing about your abnormally large nipples. And for your information Jahan has hit on me too many time to count...he says its some sort of disorder but I think you put him up to it. Anyways, I'm sorry Dan if you don't like my views but please don't start flaming on here...I'd like to stay. If you want to complain I have AIM. -TJ "Whom thinks Robb married Elissa as an alibi to prove his manliness" MacLennan
arrowfanman Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 ^ My image specialist says I have to kill you. -Jahan
Freefallbestrideever Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 ^BUSTED! I'd so record this if i had some kind of tivo/htpc thing going
lapseofreason Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 Watching this right now. Now I know why they kept pushing the opening date back... wow. Then again, every footer I see, I think of seeing it on TPR first. I also love Discovery's vast knowledge of coaster terminology, such as "orange steel column" (one of the supports for the lift hill), "incline" (lift hill) and "seats" (trains).
Top Thrill Dragster Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 I loved how the general manager said he wanted a train to leave the station every 40 seconds. I was laughing so hard when he said that!
MrRiverizon Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 ^Or when he said it was the best ride ever, and that no ride would ever be better.
Sean Menefee Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 I'm recording the 12:00 AM re-run. I'll get it posted for anyone interested as long as no one beats me to it first. Menefee-
Tmcdllr Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 He wanted a train to dispatch every 45 seconds. What you want and what you get are two different things. Maybe it was just wishfull thinking.
nitral Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 I don't think the Discovery Channel in Canada is showing this
easytoremember Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 my favorite part was when they said the sucess of the coaster rode on the reactions of the hardcore coaster fans then it showed the perverbial girl going "It was super scary! It was the scariest ride ever! Tatsu rocked! Did I mention how scary it was?"
lapseofreason Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 ^That was the part that cheesed me off the most. I mean, couldn't they have gotten ANYONE ELSE to comment on the ride other than 3 California airheads that obviously had no idea how to appreciate what they'd just rode? RRR!!!!
RollerC Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 It was good...except for the fact that they made it seem like something bad was going to happen before every commercial break I was glad not to have an enthusiast give us those annoying commentaries of the ride.
