Hey Louis...
The family and I hit Six Flags Magic Mountain yesterday.
Tatsu is a major pucker-factor ride.
I began to have serious misgivings as we were headed up the first hill. I realized that the only thing between me and the ground was the safety restraint system.
One ride was enough for all of us. Whereas, we did just about every other ride at least twice.
Bonk, did you ride X? That ride is freaking CRAZY! You never know which way is up and which way your going. Cool ride.
Chris, second time at MM since they've had X...second time I haven't ridden it.
First time the wife and I went, we waited over an hour in line and got maybe a third of the way to the boarding gates. It was hot out and we were tired of standing in the sun, so we left.
This time, we just walked past it.
I do want to ride it, I just don't want to wait in the long lines...especially since they have so many "technical" delays.
Some day, maybe. If Six Flags doesn't sell the place off.
Ahhhh, you HAVE to ride that next time!
Sorry for the late response, Bonkman. I've been sleeping many of my replies lately.
Yeah, Tatsu, one of the many cloned B&M flyers. I must say I'm NOT a big fan of the flying coasters. I don't like the ones made by Vakoma or B&M. The Vakoma ones are a bit more gentle ride, but they torture you in the station. The B&M's are just the opposite. B&M makes great coasters, but I like their everyday regular or floorless models i.e. Nitro, Raging Bull, Nightflight etc. I'm actually getting too old to be turned upside down too much.
And Chris, I don't think you could ever get me to ride X. Maybe I'd ride it just once to get it on my list, but certainly not more than that. It's way too spinny for me.
Wow, really? I thought you'd be all over that, the coaster buff that you are! It's definitely different, and not that I've ridden a lot, but it's probably the wildest one I've ever been on.Quote:
