I think that even since 2006, when Tatsu opened, it still remains as one of the best, if not the best.
I agree! :)
x2 is better
William Corkern I found x2 boring, I mean, it’s cool that you are riding backwards and spinning but the spins are really slow and the adrenaline rush only lasts a few moments
The reason why X2 is not better than Tatsu is because it was made by Arrow. It can be extremely rough and painful at times while Tatsu remains incredibly smooth after 15 years.
Couldn't agree more. I've experienced nothing more intense and exciting than Tatsu's diving inverted pretzel loop!
Tatsu and X2 are the best coasters in six flags Los Angeles, USA 😎
And Twisted Colossus.
Valencia California, not Los Angeles
@@horseraddish1557 located inside Los Angeles County...
Magic Mountain*
@@Hervinbalfour X2, Twisted Colossus, and Tatsu are definitely the top 3 in the park. I make it a point to ride each one every time I go to Magic Mountain. I wonder if they’ll still hold up as my top 3 after I eventually get on more coasters around the world
Another small fun fact is that when dark, Tatsu's chain lift lights up! :)
That's interesting to hear :)
This coaster is a beast, one of my all time favorite rides.
It looks it! :)
Zombieface Coasters I rode this a little while ago and thought it was ok because I didn’t have that good of an experience on it so I want to try it again do you have any tips because I want to like it
Thour Creem , front left is best views. Back row is best for that pretzel loop. You might have a brownout lol
Litterally a beast
Fun Fact: Due to the terrain, the total elevation change on Tatsu is 263 ft. (80 m). I'd imagine this is measured from the top of the lift hill, to the base of the Pretzel Loop.
That's very interesting to hear! :)
I think in general, when Fright Fest starts, Tatsu becomes very popular & competes with others rides. I haven't been to Six Flags since 2010; that alone is brutal as a fan.
So it’s a hyper?
No, as the actual ride height is only 170 ft, even though the elevation change is 263 ft.
@@wildforce1417 i haven't since 2007 :(
Tatsu is one of the best rides in general. Even the name is so good.
2:00
Aaaaaaaand this is literally the only part of any rollercoaster I have ever come close to puking on. Nice job, Tatsu! Nice job.
im coincidentaly whatching this in the line of tatsu
Awesome! :)
how long was the wait
Yo Gotti i forgot
Yo Gotti 3 hours for me, but this was during spring break
gummo damn bruh that is a hell of a wait
Tastu was my first upside down coaster, I rode it back when I was in 6th grade, definitely an awesome coaster. I strongly remember thinking "this is what it feels like to fly" haha
That's awesome to hear! :)
Same
tatsu is the best flying coaster ever and the intensity is nuts when entering the pretzel loop
That pretzel loop makes the ride- it's amazing. Now if only six flags would actually RUN three trains when I'm there
I also love terrain coasters and this is a great one for that. It's also higher from its tallest point to its lowest point that Goliath, so I believe it's the "tallest" coaster in the park (Superman doesn't count).
Having the pretzel loop at the end is a good decision too. Save the best for last, so the whole ride is a buildup to that
superman is a joke. give me a better intamin please.
I rode superman first... was bored....
Rode tatsu.... beast on steroids!!!
It is ultimately my favorite ride, still topping raging bull and goliath (great America) and original X.
Tatsu is the unrivaled king of flying coasters in the West. However, now it does have some serious challengers in East Asia, such as Flying Dinosaur. And yes, that massive pretzel loop is so intense it does really push the boundary of what people can handle. But hey, this is also the park with X2.
Lee Johnson X2 may be slightly more intense than Tatsu! My heart was racing after X2.
After waiting 13 years I finally went on it. It’s a very smooth and graceful until that pretzel loop happens. I don’t understand how to describe that moment because the moment you go down all hell breaks loose
That sounds like a moment I'd love to experience!
"I will say, there was a small part of me that almost thought it was a little too intense." -Taylor Bybee, last words
Each to their own I guess! :)
Nova9999999 Get him to ride The Flying Dinosaur in Universal Studios Japan. I found it to be even greater than Tatsu, due to the intense inversions that come right after each other...
may i suggest a video about Guardians of the Galaxy Mission Breakout ! at Disney's California Adventure
33th Like! :D
Still my all time favorite roller coaster. It’s just so much fun, it’s smooth and clean, and that pretzel loop is just something else.
That's awesome to hear! :)
This is my favorite roller coaster ive ever ridden out of 100+ coasters. The pretzel loop is unmatched by any other element ive experienced
I have to say this ride looks intimidating with its big Pretzel Loop! Its great location helps making the ride spectacular as well. Oh I wish there were more Flyers in Europe...
Great video as always ;)
Thank you! :)
Tatsu's the only flying coaster I've ridden so I don't know if it's still the 'best', but the pretzel loop is definitively not too forceful in my book, and the overall experience is absolutely marvelous. Plus, because of the flying position, it's the best lift hill experience ever -- nothing but a wide open 180~ hemisphere view of the park and beyond (and straight down!). Beautiful moment of serenity before the exhilaration to come. :)
In America it's still the best as far as I know, Universal Studios Japan just opened one that's kind of one-upped it, but only slightly called "The Flying Dinosaur"
Tatsu is an amazing ride. This video does not give it the credit it deserves for its setting. While you are not really very high off the ground compared to other big rides such as X2, you feel super high up due to the way you fly around. The horseshoe turn is absolutely stunning as the ground FLIES away from you.
And the pretzel loop is something else. I've ridden it dozens of times but I've never once been able to mentally prepare for how awesome that drop is. You tell yourself you are read but when you head into that little pop up right before it, you always submit!
I will always remember Tatsu as one of the greatest coasters in the world.
It certainly looks fantastic, especially the pretzel loop. I'm glad you really enjoy it! :)
I have to say one of my favorite parts of the ride and one of my favorite parts of any coaster is right after the pretzel loop when you are still on your back, when it exits it, you get a sense of weightlessness as you fall back down onto your stomach instead of on your back. It is one of the coolest parts of a ride and doesn't get enough credit. I lapped this ride so many times and that element was one of my favorite parts of the ride.
this is one of my favorite rides, and even 12 years after opening it is still a very smooth ride. anytime i am there, i always try to go on this ride. love it
I love Tatsu. It's my favorite coaster at Magic Mountian. The pretzel loop is awesome and not overly forceful. If anything, it could use a little more force to really kick up a notch.
Awesome to hear, it certainly looks fantastic! :)
Not "overly forceful"??? I just rode it two weeks ago and the whole first row of riders pulled into the station totally blacked out. People thought they wero dead. Lol
That pretzel loop made me almost grey out
are you high? pretzel loops are insane
I think it's the best Flying Coaster still!
The pretzel loop is an absolutely insane feeling - can't wait to ride this again
I can imagine, I really want to experience one! :)
3:32 What about the part where you say, "Since this ride can be to extreme for some, you can sometimes see vomit baking in the hot California sun due to idiots who eat before they ride and know they have motion sickness, and staff deciding they are not cleaning it up."
i remember riding this roller coaster on my first trip to six flags. it was the first ride i went on, and i got to experience a kid barf all over the tracks of the final breakrun. those were the good times
Took my 13yo cousin to MM and this was his first real roller coaster. He was so nervous in line and as soon as that first inversion hit he was screaming "YEAH!!!" for the rest of the ride.
That pretzel loop in the back seat, oh my god....
Awesome! Glad to hear he enjoyed the ride. :)
Watching this during quarantine lol, awesome ride, awesome park. Have a record of going 31 times in a single year to this park 😎
Whoa that's impressive!
I got on it today and I fainted lol I liked the parts where I was awake.
Wow, it must be intense! :)
Amazing ride!! I’ve ridden it many times and each time has been truly a blast!
Awesome, it definitely looks fantastic! :)
Best flying coaster in the world! Hands down!!... and a thumbs up lol
Awesome, thanks :)
This ride and x2 is the best rides. I went on lex Luther will never again do it so my first two choices are the ones I stand by. Lol
Cinamon Randles yes those 2 are my Favorite rides
Tatsu is an amazing flying coaster!! I love it so much. It's my 2nd favorite coaster at SFMM
That's great to hear :)
That pretzel loop gets me every time. Love it!
I'm yet to experience a pretzel loop but they look fantastic! :)
My favorite rollercoaster. A ride I'd both describe as one of the most gentle and one of the most intense I've ever been on. Due to your position you basically don't feel the first drop at all, but that pretzel loop is something else
how bad would u say the drop feeling in your stomach is at the pretzel loop? Would it be comparable to twisted?
@@bubbliibiotch931 it's not a drop in your stomach--what you feel is a sensation of extremely intense pressure do to the high G forces.
@@anastasiagoold4975 well is the sensation on tatsu more intense than on twisted?
Haven’t rode this yet. It sounds crazy! I hear most people gray if not black out on that pretzel loop. I’m not ready for such a ride yet. Still cleansing the GP from my system one ride at a time.
This ride is very breathtaking!
It looks it :)
Man I remember going on the pretzel loop feeling like I was gonna pass out because I couldn’t breathe that was awesome!! Haha
Hey Coaster Bot, the top speed is actually reached on the pretzel loop, not the first drop :P
If you need proof of that, Manta actually has a first drop that is 2ft taller and only goes 56 mph.
You are correct, I'm a bit of an idiot really! ha ha. Thanks for letting me know :)
At least he admitted that he was wrong
Hell yes TATSU is one of a kind alright is High above the ground and with all them trees on the bottom u feel like ur flying,and the pretzel loop is the best one ever,no other ride like this one can compare to TATSU.
Tatsu is a MUST ride for any visit to SFMM. As a Diamond Elite Member, regardless of party, I personally ride twice every visit.
It certainly looks it! :)
Tatsu is one of my top 3!!!-
Nice content! Keep it up!
Thank you! There's a lot more to come in the future. Stay tuned :)
Just got on it last week for the first time. It was amazing.
That's awesome!
An awesome coaster! That's what it is!
Indeed it is! :)
The pretzel loop killed me lol took my breath away but I love this ride
Went to six flags for the first time of my life and went on this ride last before the night ended and became my favorite coaster at magic mountain 🐉😱
My 16 year old daughter wanted me to go on it with her and I said no. When she came back, she said I had to. I did and it was so much fun, we rode it 3 times in a row. I was 64 then and I'd do it again anytime!
A comment about X2 while I'm here. I always said that was one coaster I would never ride, but I did and if anyone doubts the G it produces, I came very close to losing an elastic sided boot at one stage.
Well done for riding both coasters! Tatsu looks great, and so does X2. I'm definitely not doubting how forceful X2 is now :)
This is one of the coasters on my bucket list. I would consider Flying Dinosaur my most wanted to ride B&M flyer though.
It's on mine too! Both coasters are fantastic :)
After just returning from magic mountain a week ago, Tatsu was my first flying coaster, and it’s now my 2nd favorite roller coaster Of all time, just behind Twisted Colossus, and the ride operator that was in charge of scanning the flash pass watches, the device was glitches for Tatsu (and that of Goliath too) to where it would allow me to go through, but then also wouldn’t remove the pass until I canceled it, and I exploited that to the best of my abilities and rode Tatsu about 9 times that day, while also managing to get at least one ride on every other major steel coaster (besides green lantern which I’ve heard nothing but bad things about)
That sounds like a fantastic day. Great to hear you love Tatsu! :)
COASTER BOT it was unforgettable, going to that park for the first time was like going to Disneyland for me, (which I have an annual pass for too) and I went there expecting X2 to be the greatest ride since I wanted to ride it ever since Coaster Force uploaded their POV of it 8 years ago, and when that dream came true I couldn’t be happier to ride every single ride in that park, and tatsu was directly after x2 (which x2 was the first ride of the day) and I was instantly hooked, the insane forces and my first experience on a flying coaster make it an absolute work of art, especially with those beautiful light up wheels it has at night, Twisted Colossus would’ve came 2nd to Tatsu if they didn’t somehow manage to duel, they only had 2 trains on it when I went and they managed to duel as I was on the green track, and that’s what sold Twisted Colossus for me, surprisingly not a single coaster I rode in the park was bad, even Viper, I actually enjoyed it more than Batman surprisingly, maybe it was due to the fact I’m tall enough where my head can’t hit the restraint but who knows, anyways, I’d just like to tell you to keep up the awesome work that you do on your channel, for how small your channel is (no offense) you put out such high quality content that’s always enjoyable to watch
I know the feeling of going to a park and it being a dream come true, it's fantastic. I totally get you, thanks for the kind words, it really means a lot :)
Green lantern is permanently closed
Shantel I’m just glad I never had to endure it, I’ll just stick to the Freespin coaster discovery kingdom (my home Park) just got
My boy loved it. Told me to sit this one out because I get headaches. 😢
I could see a flying coaster coming to Blackpool Pleasure Beach as a replacement to Infusion. I’d say it would be 100-150ft tall. It would fly around the park, interacting with all the other rides. It’d become the world’s longest flying coaster.
Your videos are so well made. Im really happy that I found your channel.
Thank you! I am very happy you found our channel also :)
I *_love_* the pretzel loop.
Awesome! :)
Love that pretzel loop!
This ride was a little boring to me, until the loop. That loop was the most intense thing I have been on. I don't know if it was in a good way. The force on It was actually painful possibly because I was not ready for it and I didn't really even look at the track before getting on.
I love this ride and though it falls short as my favorite (X2 is #1 for me) at the park I will say it is easily the smoothest roller coaster there
I think this is the 2nd best in the world, behind Flying Dinosaur. Great video, love the content! Out of the 5+ times I've ridden, I've grayed out every time
Thank you, it's fantastic to hear you are enjoying the content. :)
Tatsu is a wonderful ride wonderful when it lasts, but my only complaint is too much time confined in a prone position after the ride is finished makes me feel like a hanging piece of meat that's still alive when that piece of meat would prefer to be "harvested" already if not let go, especially since I found the operations aren't the best at SFMM (although I'm not sure it's all the fault of the ride ops).
However, the pretzel loop is worth it though since it's so intense yet smooth; because the forces on that pretzel loop make it necessary for the upstop wheels to be just as are big as the main ones, despite the fact that the main wheels do most of the work most of the time. It's truly amazing; you can allow yourself to experience those forces because you it's as though one can feel those strong upstop wheels protecting you. That's probably true for every B&M flier (that has a pretzel loop, anyway). Great video, thanks for posting!
the loop made my brain fly into my ass that shit is insane
Wouldn't it reach its max speed at the base of the pretzel loop if its 4 meters taller and has more momentum going into it?
This is true, that was an oversight on my part. Sorry!
I don't know for sure, that's just me thinking aloud. I wouldn't call it an oversight.
B&M is one of the best roller coaster manufacturers in the world. They built two coasters in Canada’s Wonderland (Leviathan and Yukon Striker)
Definitely!
Best damn ride I have ever been on.I enjoyed it.
Awesome to hear :)
Error: Tatsu still holds all those records, except for longest flying coaster which was taken by Flying Dinosaur in Universal Studios Japan.
This was said, exactly as you put it, in the video itself. :)
I love this ride
It looks fantastic! :)
If you think about it, it’s just Superman Ultimate Flight but with an original theme.
Except it's 10mph faster , has 800 feet more track, a 59% taller pretzel loop, well over twice the total elevation change...
Best one yet
Great video. When i rode Tatsu, i made sure i got the front row. Unfoetunately, the bottom 3 vertibre in my neck are fused, which limits my ranfe of motion in my neck, so i couldn't look up very well to enjoy the ride like I wish i would have been able to. I would imagine for most people this is a great experience though!
Thank you, that's unfortunate but I hope you still had a fun ride on it! :)
Oh it's all good. It was a unique experience. Magic mountain is pretty awesome!
Soarin Eagle (Coney Island) + Batman = Tatsu
yes it is still my favorite
Awesome! :)
The best flying coaster i have ridden
Awesome!
Five words: One hell of a ride
Hell yeah one of the best rides six flags has
My favorite Rollercoaster!
Tatsu is one of the best coasters in Magic Mountain. hands down
Awesome to hear! :)
SIMPLY THE BEST!!!!
Better than all the rest?
He'll yeah......MR. TINA TURNER!!!
The smoothest rollercoaster in the park.
Next time I go im getting on this hell ya
I am really curious about these flying coasters. There's none anywhere close to where I live, but I bet that the experience is very unique and thrilling.
From the looks of it I would say that this is the second best B&M flyer after Flying Dinosaur at Universal Studios Japan.
It definitely is a unique experience! :)
Tatsu is a great ride, it's my number 8 overall
Bricktycoon Thanks, nice to see a loyal subscriber. Videos coming once my PC is fixed.
Adam Zachary Gaming then how come you can comment...😑
Awesome! I'd love to ride. :)
This is my favorite roller coaster. They should make this the Superman themed coaster
Awesome to hear! I am glad that this isn't themed to a super hero, there are way too many rides like that!
chicken tatsu curry.
How tasty! :)
This is my favorite ride of all time
Awesome to hear! :)
Was mine until Twisted Colossus. Rode both yesterday. That pretzel loop... eeeerrrrraaaaaggggghhhhh!!!!!!
I flew here on Tatsu, to be the first view and comment!
Awesome! :)
Need to ride this!!!
Me too!
the pretzel loop makes my vision fuzzy and makes me almost gray out (Black out) the rest of the ride is amazing. Way to much G force in the loop though.
The pretzel loop element is very unique. It seems that quite a few people like that high g-force sustained throughout the inversion. :)
Everett Rubio, that's the point
I haven't been on it but it looks pretty cool
Indeed it does :)
Is it a normal thing if there’s a gap in between my back and the seat? I’m tall enough, and can still be held in. The restraint only comes down a certain amount and I’m constantly being pushed against the restraint. Maybe because I am small?
As long as the restraint comes down and locks into place, and you're tall enough to ride, you'll be held in safely. :)
@@coasterbot Alright, Thanks!
Another great video!
Big fan Adam. When's the next video?
Thanks Adam, I'm a big fan too! :)
Why is it unfortunate that it is no longer the longest flying coaster? Surely, that is a good thing. It means there is a longer one to ride on somewhere.
Flying Dinosaur at Universal Studios Japan is the one you're talking about ;)
rcdb.com/12959.htm
Looks insane with its quick succesion of inversions :o
I guess that's true! :)
I had a dream that I fell off Tatsu while it was going up the chainlift. The seat unbuckled and I went flying, sucks because this is such a cool ride but it gives me the heebie geebies now
Flying coasters are some of the safest rides out there in terms of the restraints. Each one has three individual systems, so there's essentially two backup restraints per seat. You won't fall out of it, trust me! :)
@@coasterbot you're amazing man, thanks for this.
why do flying coasters loose so much feet just to do a drop?
The pretzel loop is one of the greatest things ever.
RIP Old Six Flags
I like Tatsu, I rode this rollercoaster twice. But I fainted on that enormous pretzel loop. 😭😭😭
Awesome, it looks really intense!!
I’m going soon but I am afraid of passing out on the loop...did anybody and is it really that bad? I blacked out badly on Batman so I’m not too sure
Ride it early in the morning and you shouldn't have many issues :)
One thing I will say about the pretzel loop is that it has a crazy amount of G forces. It feels like you’re being crushed by the Tatsu itself.
It certainly looks that way :)
When I went to magic mountain for the first time this ride broke down twice in 3 hours because a single row wasn't moving into the flying position. I had a flash pass and reserved a ride. After the ride opened again it changed the reserve time to 3 hours later :/
That's very unfortunate.
Can you do lagoon explained. It's an amusement park in Utah and it was going to be bought out by six flags and I've heard many story's of it but I don't know the full history. Would love if you could do it
It's on the list and looks like a very interesting park. Thanks for the suggestion. :)
