colossus Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 it looks like the haunted house on the mountain will be operating during fright fest.and they brought new sipports they are bright orange.
maliboomer Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 Intresting name... Tatsu, even though it made me thing of the lesbian band.
DATman Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 it is? Â wow, have i been butchering that ride name *go cries in a corner out of sorrow for SFMM*
coasterfreak101 Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 The name is Tatsu: Fly at the Speed of Fear. It's not Tatu, that's too much for us to butcher. Tattoo. The filed claims from SF says that the name is Tatsu, with the tagline Fly at the Speed of Fear!!!
4718 Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 And I'll confirm both of those, I was talking with a supervisor Saturday night and he had a hard time remembering the cheesy tag line, but was able to come up with it after a while. The majority of the people I told about the name thought it was okay, just going to take some getting used to.....like Scream and X.
SFMM rocks my socks Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 I had no problem with the names of X or SCREAM and the new name sounds cool and with a name like that they have to theme it well dont u think, and what they should do with flash back is to rip it out and put in a new water slide for hurricane habor or a free fall ride there. 8)
DATman Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 I personally think that a Huss Giant Frisbee would fit in Flashback's area nicely. And it would be quiet!
sfmmFREAK Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 I personally think that a Huss Giant Frisbee would fit in Flashback's area nicely. And it would be quiet! Â *screams in DATman's face* THEY'RE NOT GETTING RID OF FLASHBACK, SO GIVE IT UP!!!!! *catches breath, looks around room* Â Â Anyhoo, i think the new coaster is going to be a major record breaker. You know, somethin to dangle over Cedar Point's head, and brag about.
Blazen_AZN Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 in what ways? i am almost certain it will be the tallest flying rollercoaster, but that is not really "major" i mean, i do not see how any major records can be broken, defainately not tallest or fastest, nor will it have most inversions, and if it did, cedar point won't care, they havn't installed an inverting ride in a long while. Â I don't see where your going with this, but nothing will 'dangle over cedar point's head' the sad fact is that only record brakers are really known by the GP, it can be the best coaster in the world, but if its not tall, big, etc it won't matter. quality can only go so far for a coaster's reputation, but it shouldn't be that way. Â (example, many believe S:ROS is a better ride then MF, but you always hear about MF because it was the tallest in the world.
DATman Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 ^^I KNOW flashback isn't going anywhere-it is too much of an expense to remove it. BUT that doesn't mean it wouldnt be NICE to have a frisbee there. Â This would be so cool if it had 11 inversions. That would bring so many people to the park
Corkscrewed Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 Dude... a Flyer with 11 inversions would prollly be worse than Flashback!
DATman Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 ^how so? B&M's are normally smooth, and it would definitely make flyers truly stand out.
sfmmFREAK Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 after about 7 inversions, it would get pretty boring. i think it might be the longest flying coaster.
ebl Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 Even if the track length is 3500 feet, it'd be the longest flyer. I hope it's closer to 4000 or 4500. SFMM could use a really long coaster. Â Eric
coasterking Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 Yeah but by the time you got to the end it will feel like you're gonna fall out. Its not as easy to do inversions on flyers and they haven't done more than the pretzel loop, half zero-g or barrel roll yet.
sfmmFREAK Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 Yeah but by the time you got to the end it will feel like you're gonna fall out. Its not as easy to do inversions on flyers and they haven't done more than the pretzel loop, half zero-g or barrel roll yet. Â and that would be a huge opprotunity to show the public what they've never seen before.
DATman Posted September 29, 2005 Posted September 29, 2005 It may have a dive loop or immleman, which would be insane! Flatspins would be great too. And a vertical loop. Throw in a pretzel loop, lots of close to the ground turns, a helix, and an overbank, and you have a winner
XAquaTeenBoyX Posted September 29, 2005 Posted September 29, 2005 I was looking over on Screamscape and they had a link to WestCoaster where they have a picture of one of the survey markers ON the waterfall by Revolution, so maybe it'll be going downt there too, OMG dude, this ride is going to be everywhere. Â Oh and here's the link: http://www.westcoaster.net/updates.php?updateCD=092605&page=12
4718 Posted September 29, 2005 Posted September 29, 2005 It's pretty much gonna take up the entire hill there, kinda centered around Sky Tower too.
XAquaTeenBoyX Posted September 29, 2005 Posted September 29, 2005 So.....does anyone have a guess on how long it will be???? My guess is around a mile long if it's going to go all around the hill, and the numerous workers, 4718 probably too, that I talked to said that this is the one that "We've all been waiting for." They said it's the biggest (as in size) coaster that Six Flags will have had so far...
DonkeyBreath Posted September 29, 2005 Posted September 29, 2005 ^ I believe this coaster will be huge but I don't think it will be longer then Riddler and Goliath for it to be the biggest coaster at SFMM it would have to be over 4500 feet in length. I can see maybe around 3200 to 3500 feet max but over 4500 for a B&M flyer seams far fetched imo, I could be wrong though :? Â If SFMM gets anything over 4500 feet I'm hoping it will be one of those Prefab Intamin airtime monsters
SFMM rocks my socks Posted September 29, 2005 Posted September 29, 2005 ^ I think your right. I dont think its going to be that long. So has any one seen any work on the metro.
DonkeyBreath Posted September 29, 2005 Posted September 29, 2005 I've heard on another site that they saw people working on some Metro cars by Flashback, So hopefully this weekend someone will see what's up with that. It would be awesome if SFMM could get Metro back up and running maybe they've found out were that fairgrounds in Sacramento is getting their parts from, since they have the same type of monorail system as SFMM.
Sir Clinksalot Posted September 29, 2005 Posted September 29, 2005 ^ Those metro cars have been out by Flashback for at least a year.
