I guess I can sign on to this old cite that I used to frequent to review this B&M Masterpiece. Wow what a ride. They couldnt have picked a better park to put in a flying coaster. Well actually thats more due to the terrain rather than the park. Right on the mountain. Perfect, perfect, perfect spot. Its soooo high up there. The lift takes off going out towards rapids and youre looking down as you go up. Its also a steep lift I might add. Then you hit the top and youre looking down even farther as youve cleared to mountain. Probably where they get that 263 ft. elevation change stat from. Either way its high. You then start to swoop down into the first drop. The ride is fast and really gives the sensation of flying. A couple twists a zero-g-roll. But the crown and highlight of the ride comes from the pretzel. What a great element. You see it comming and you say to yourself this is going to be a bad-a moving comming up. Diving to the ground head first is nuts. Pulls so many G-s. More than Goliaths "Helix from Hell (as the locals have nicknamed it)." Then you come out of it and youre heading straigt up. A final spin and back to the station. Even when someone bulids a bigger and faster flying coaster, good luck topping Tatsu due to its unique mountainside terrain.
