 Review of Tatsu @ Six Flags Magic Mountain
1 Rating Posted by: BobFunland on 8/23/2006 1:07:00 AM
We have all heard how big Tatsu is compared to the other flyers, but is bigger really better? For once, I will side with length, speed and height. Tatsus delivered a better ride than the Superman or Vekoma flyers on pretty much all levels, with perhaps a single exception to the little bit of roughness it delivered. The ride doesnt rub off as short as the SUFs and there are more thrills packed into the ride. The flips are well placed and Id rather flip than do the mini-Egg Turns that the Superman do. Seeing the Skytower upside down is cool, and suprisingly, the elevated track did not take away from the ride as I had expected. The pretzel loop may be the most intense B&M element on earth, as I thought it rivaled the helix on the parks Goliath coaster. Unfortunately, the ride also had that little bit of B&M rattle at the bottom, so the loop managed to give me a headache on my first visit. Once you remember to brace the loop becomes even more enjoyable.. if not insane. A final flip is a nice end a la SUF and I came into the station each time liking the ride more and more. Easily the best of the flyers, and though I want to assign a 9, my head reminds me how much it was throbbing last Thursday so I will stick with what I will call a "high eight"

I think that the speed and height will be a great update for the flying coasters as well. After riding Batwing at SFA, my main complaint was not enough speed and lack of pacing. I really liked the flying aspect, it just didnt seem to be extremem enough for me.

Just a little P.S. the Goliaths (SFMM&SFOT) are both Giovanola Mega Coasters, not B&M, although they look very similure.

B. Fun was just comparing the coasters. He knows that Goliath is not a B&M.
