Director_Guy Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 I liked the fact that they said Tatsu was TOO fast and needed to slow it down. Heh, and they were worried it wouldn't make it back to the station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DATman Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 I wanted that 18 second ride, or however short it was... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraxleRIDAH Posted January 4, 2007 Author Share Posted January 4, 2007 ^ According to the show --- 49 seconds from disengaging the lift to hitting the final brakes. 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. No. The ride WAS dispatching as quickly as 40-45 seconds when it first opened up until around June. I saw it in person --- the queue for the ride was constantly flowing quickly. Then again, I said "when it first opened." I don't think the Discovery Channel in Canada is showing this They DID. For some odd reason, it aired in Canada before it did in the U.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bgwfreak Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 ^ Ryan were you in one of the shots in line for Tatsu? I don't think it was you, but it kind of looked like you. The show was good overall, except for them trying to overdramatize everything...oh no! The coaster will be down for an entire season! Oh noz!!!!11!!!

Ill check back later to see if oyu got it up! -Ryan No problem. The video is around 680 megs (.AVI) so it's taken me a majority of the night/morning to finish. It's uploading as I'm typing this and it's only a quarter of the way done. The show should be up around 9:30 a.m. (pacific) for everyone to download, I promise. BTW if anyone wants to re-encode the video to a smaller size feel free to. I know it might be handy for the people on TPR with limited internet connections. I would have made two copies but this ended up taking a bit more time then I anticipated. Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Menefee Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Download the full show here: Building Tatsu Presented By: Discovery Channel http://www.mediafire.com/?3nynzktimzc (Just in case you can't play this file download VLC Media Player.) Feel free to re-encode and host this however you guys feel is best for the site. I didn't post this in the video section because the file is way to big to host here at TPR I'm thinking. It's almost a 700mb RAR file, but media fire is a pretty fast download service most of the time. Cheers, Sean (Edit...added another link just in case the first one goes down. http://www.mediafire.com/?3nynzktimzc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fergusonat Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 It was definitely a great show. Maybe a little slow during the ride-delay parts, but well worth it at the end! Tatsu looks like an amazing ride. I may have a chance at riding it next summer and this tv show made me want to ride it even more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easytoremember Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 I thought the most interesting part was when they changed wheels to slow it down. I did not know all B&Ms come with a set of hard, fast wheels and a set of soft slow ones. That is actually pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefitness Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 ^ agreed,I was very suprised that wheels could make that much of a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaptorBoyASU Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Either the park operations guy was putting on the superlatives for the film crew, or he's seriously deluded. I also thought it was funny that he thought the only way to get people in the gate was to build a bigger, badder, faster coaster. I guess he hasn't been watching the trends in the industry that closely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnome Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Yay for commercials for strip clubs! Anyways, This is pretty intresting, though its funny how they always make a problem that they resolve in 30 minutes sound like the one problem that will ruin the whole project.

CP_RULES Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 I watched this show yesterday and I think it was fairly interesting. However, I hated how everything had to be a huge drama. Also, why is there a trim at the bottom of the pretzel loop already? I have never seen a trim put on a ride before it's even built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tmcdllr Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 I believe the brake at the bottom of the pretzel loop is not a trim but an emergency brake if the train valleys in the loop. Believe me, there is no trimming whatsoever going on through that loop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phazan Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 I saw it, I thought it was interesting. They did make the "problems" sound overly serious though. Like when the cement was in the way...all they had to do was get rid of it, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DATman Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 ^ According to the show --- 49 seconds from disengaging the lift to hitting the final brakes. I know that it is a 49 second ride. The reason they had to change the wheels was that the ride was around 18 (or something with an 8 in it) seconds long. I wanted that ride, as it would be even more insane.
