robbalvey Posted October 19, 2005 Author Posted October 19, 2005 ^ And you forgot to mention it's called "Tatsu!" From the SEC filings: Los Angeles - Launching blockbuster Tatsu coaster for the 2006 season. Thrill ride to attract market specific teen demographic
Jew Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 ^ Riddlers most of the time, but get sent to Deja and Gold Rusher a lot. Ahh, good old 138. The only major ride I called home. -Joey "still remembers the block check" Mandel
ShoubraStreet74 Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 Holy crap finally something official about this thing on their website. I know we've known about this for quite a while now, but wow, this is so exciting!
MARK Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 Well they say it's going to be really big so that's a bonus.
Geoff Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 Please let it be open by Friday 6 April 2006 (Highly unlikely I know ) Coz that's when we'll be visiting SFMM. And as we'll coming all the way from the UK I think they should make an extra special effort to get it finished by then!!
ebl Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 According to The Roller Coaster Database, the other B&M flyers have a track length in the 2700-ish range (feet, that is). I can't see this being much longer than 3500 feet at the most. I also hope to be proven wrong. Eric
SFMM rocks my socks Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 Its going to be a woody. why else would they cut all those trees, for wood. Also the track peices are for batman or scream.
Blazen_AZN Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 i'd say it'll be over 3500 it spans just about the length of revoultion, ( which is already 3457ft long) like that ride, it goes to the front of the park (valencia falls), unlike that ride, this ride will travel all the way back to samuri summut. making it much wider, now consider that this ride will likely twist and turn much more than that ride, and your looking at one pretty dang long coaster. i'm almost sure it'll be over 3500, i can't say how long, all i can say is it will be really long. thanks google maps!
ShoubraStreet74 Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 Ummmm.. why has the countdown on the magic mountain website changed from 29 days left to 71 days left? Is this a joke or something? :?
ShoubraStreet74 Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 (edited) ^ Hmmm.. must just be some weird computer glitch on my part or something, because for me it still says 71. Anyway... I guess it's just me then.. :? Edited October 21, 2005 by ShoubraStreet74
SFMM rocks my socks Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 are You mixing up the date nov. 17
SKI Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 I'm going to guess 3728' for the length. That's for 3 hours 7 minutes and 28 seconds after it opens until it goes to single train op.
coasterfreak101 Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 ^ROFLMAO !!! That's great! Is SFMM really as bad as it's made out to be?
Mr.Six Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 ^ROFLMAO !!! That's great! Is SFMM really as bad as it's made out to be? IMO, no. SFMM gets made fun of a lot but everytime I've been there I always have a pretty good time. I always have to say "Could be worse...could be Knotts!" _six
arrowfanman Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 ^ Ouch . SFMM really is shaping up. P.S....my update, from today, is ready: Lots of work going on! Some highlights: -We have the second switch track -X vallied again -Roarin Rapids closed -They demolished a bit of the waterfalls -Footer holes being prepared/dug -Are you actually reading this? -More trees cut down -Roarin Rapids exit partially demolished -I dont think you are reading it. -Dangerous, chain-saw-juggling-gardeners -Orient Express work -Yea, you're definitely not reading this -A trivia game. All in one week!
Blazen_AZN Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 (edited) wow, i didnt read what you said... but im sure it was very interestresting (past the point where i lost intrest at least) anyway, im glad to hear there finally digging, and that X vallied, AGAIN??? wow, how sad is that? damn cold weather!!! what are they doing to orient? EDIT: oops, wow, i always thought your "photo" updates were kinda weird but now i realize, your updates arn't stupid I am.... ME: OoOoooOO u CLICK IT! Edited October 21, 2005 by Blazen_AZN
rollermonkey Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 Great update! Tatsu really is looking like it will be huge! If they only operate one side of the station, (still an assumption that it is a dual sided station.) it will be real hard to stack up the trains as long as this thing is starting to look! Of course, if it's single train ops, that just means lines that will eclipse even those on X's worst days! Chris B
4718 Posted October 22, 2005 Posted October 22, 2005 Dang, I always knew X sucked, just didn't know it was bad enough to valley like 3 times in one month.
patriot Posted October 22, 2005 Posted October 22, 2005 (edited) i got some awesome news. i found out on screamscape that nothing will be removed. this ride will have alot of corkscrews. it is supposed to twist around skytower (wich will open back up next year) and go around reveloution. i live in missouri but i went to sfmm in july i loved it. i hope to go back and ride this new flyer they are getting. Edited October 22, 2005 by patriot
sfmmFREAK Posted October 22, 2005 Posted October 22, 2005 i am going tomorrow, i might bring camera. i just wanna know if revy is still closed. And thanx arrowmanfan for the update! they are really moving along! sad to hear about X :? , but hey, there's still goliath and Deja Vu.
rollermonkey Posted October 22, 2005 Posted October 22, 2005 i just wanna know if revy is still closed. I believe that Revolution will be closed for nearly the entire construction period of the new ride. Chris B
XANAX: The Ride Posted October 22, 2005 Posted October 22, 2005 ME: OoOoooOO u CLICK IT! Holy Poop...
