robbalvey Posted October 19, 2005 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew Posted October 19, 2005 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShoubraStreet74 Posted October 19, 2005 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARK Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Well they say it's going to be really big so that's a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted October 19, 2005 Share 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!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebl Posted October 20, 2005 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFMM rocks my socks Posted October 20, 2005 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazen_AZN Posted October 20, 2005 Share 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 Share 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? :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4718 Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Says 29 days for me, just looked at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShoubraStreet74 Posted October 20, 2005 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKI Posted October 21, 2005 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Six Posted October 21, 2005 Share 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.

rollermonkey Posted October 21, 2005 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4718 Posted October 22, 2005 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patriot Posted October 22, 2005 Share 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.

rollermonkey Posted October 22, 2005 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
