Tatsu is an elite coaster, I absolutely love how you’re so high up the entire ride, it’s very scenic. The pretzel loop is super intense and provides some nice contrast

@jzckvsn Год назад

B&M flyers are such a fun and interesting model but their intensity and graceful moments make them one of the best rides in a park

@aarons0683 Год назад

The B&Ms are great until you ride Fly and than they’re just okay

@CZsWorld Год назад

I believe it's pronounced Tatsuuuu-uuu!

@ravensrulzaviation Год назад

Tatsu is the only roller coaster of all kinds ever to cause me to gray out and almost black out, the G’s are intense, with hot weather, its smooth as butter, just a great ride all the way around, hits all the elements.

@AirtimeThrills Год назад

I never gray out on Tatsu, it just feels like so much force pulling my chest into my neck

@HugeRMCFanBoY-bx3od 7 месяцев назад

@AirtimeThrills Same I don't know how some could gray out

@evanweston1837 Год назад

We really need to get you on F.L.Y. at Phantasialand. It's a total game-changer for flying coasters.

Germany is my #1 european destination. Will see if its in the cards for 2024

@SICHTKRAFT Год назад

@@AirtimeThrills I life an hour away from Phantasialand and will be on tatsu as my first b&m flyer ever next weekend (if it's running). So curious to see how they compare.

@aarons0683 Год назад

@@SICHTKRAFT I also live 1 hour from Phantasialand. I got to experience Tatsu in 2019 back then it was super impressed by it (wasn’t really a fan of the pretzel loop because it felt very uncomfortable and it doesn’t make any thematic sense). When I rode Fly for the first time in 2020 it kind of destroyed Tatsu for me, because it’s so much better executed and has so many creative Elements, that really felt like flying (not like the Prezel loop). It made me realise that Tatsu just took a few Standard inversions (while still been fun don’t take me wrong), but in comparison it’s just a bit uninspired.

@leyoshivenere350 Год назад

Yeah I hope Vekoma keep on doing this, maybe with a bigger one with Pretzel Loop, laying elements. Sadly none are currently are planned

@jmore5099 Год назад

Tatsu goes down as my personal favorite coaster, period. A zero-G roll on a flyer just makes sense and it's tragic they don't come standard on all the other flyers. And look at that pretzel loop, bow to that pretzel loop, it is your god now

@DavidBehlman Год назад

Tatsu's lift always stands out to me as baller. The mountain sloping below you as you go up makes it a one of a kind lift. Those supports are so big, I feel like people walk by them and have no idea Tatsu is right above them. I've been dying to ride Flying Dinosaur, but this makes me want to try Starry Sky Ripper more.

@AirtimeThrills Год назад

Yeah Tatsu has to have my favorite lift for all those reasons

@LilyWilkerson Год назад

Look at how much the track flexes at 1:51 😮 I've never seen that on a steel coaster before, goes to show how heavy flyer trains are...

@hmsverdun Год назад

Honestly surprised by how much prime ride time Galatica has though the stats back up how it feels. It has some elements and descirbing a B&M as gentle feels odd but I would almost describe it as a relaxing flight around the terain within a subland of the park. Though my judgement is probably impaired by it being next door to Nemesis in all its right your gonna pull some G's now glory.

@oof3597 Год назад

It is definitely what a flying coaster is supposed to be, a thrilling but relaxing experience as you soar over pathways, trees, people and etc. Also Galactica has a really intense fly to lie element that is severely underrated as it is very intense.

@JEHUnAshamed Год назад

I just went to Seaworld Orlando not too long ago and rode my first flying coaster Manta. I gotta say, I’m super impressed with the model. That ride was awesome and is my #1 in the park and 100% in my top 10 all time.

@joshuamoore3049 Год назад

Tatsu is amazing. I was able to get a front row night ride on it back in September 2010, and it's the third best coaster I have been on.

@poorwillis Год назад

@Cje_-yj8ov Год назад

Personally I think starry sky ripper would be my favorite, that layout looks so demented

@627jace627 Год назад

The only thing I dislike about the B&M flyers is being stuck in the flying position on the final brakes, waiting for the next train to be dispatched. It looks as if Vekoma has solved that problem on FLY.

@AudreyMealiff Год назад

I'm thrilled to have both Manta and Air on my credits list. Amazing rides!

@MidnightRailfan Год назад

I’d love to see KI get Cedar Fair’s first B&M Flyer. That would really complement their lineup

@bloemkool87 Год назад

Rode my first two flyers last year with Superman UF in SFoG and F.L.Y. in Phantasialand. Sadly missed out on Nighthawk in Carowinds cause it was closed when I was there (I believe it was closed most of the season). Superman was crazy intense and the pretzel loop made me grey out for the first time on a coaster. Fly was great and had some good airtime and gave me more of a flying sensation with it's layout, length and theming. They both weren't the most comfortable coasters for a tall, big guy like me. Fly's length didn't help in that regard. Still, would love to see more Vekoma flyers or B&M flyers in mainland Europe.

@gee-geebrass8531 Год назад

been a lil while since i watched, love the intro !!!

@coasterconquistador2517 Год назад

Nice video! The B&M flying coaster has always caught my eye as an interesting model; Starry Sky Ripper, Tatsu, and Flying Dinosaur all look elite. Al the clones still look great too. The model seems to perfectly mix intense elements with graceful ones, all while on that list flying position. Keep up the great work!

@MelkromisteinWeeb Год назад

"Nobody has simulated the flying experience quite as well as B&M" *New Vekoma has entered the chat*

@MarsJenkar Год назад

I was expecting Tatsu to suffer in pacing (i.e. be below average) due to it being so high off the ground except for the pretzel loop, but apparently there's enough momentum to keep it going at a good clip throughout.

@singlerailindustries1763 Год назад

The World's B&M Stand Up's - By The Numbers :) Including The Floorless Conversion Stand Up's. The World's S&S Air Launch Coasters - By The Numbers. Most Of Them Are Located In China 😅 With Just 1 In America. Great Video! 😁

@toyoracer33 Год назад

The big surprise for me is that there's only 11 of them. I've ridden two now - the Superman at six Flags over Georgia and just recently Tatsu. I was completely unprepared for the pretzel loop on Tatsu, despite having heard that it's the largest. That's some crushing force that seems to last forever. I really curious why this model hasn't sold better than it has. I'm guessing because they came out around the same time as the B&M hypers, and parks tended to go with those instead?

@AirtimeThrills Год назад

They came out so popular...half of them were built in the first 2 years. I wonder if they turned out to be too complex/prone to breakage and parks looked elsewhere

@toyoracer33 Год назад

@@AirtimeThrills are they really any more unreliable than other high-thrill rides though? My experience with Superman at SFoF is very minimal downtime - but admittedly that's just what I've personally seen. PS: ArieForce One looks amazing in person. I definitely recommend coming to check that out this year if you get to the southeast. It looks to be a solid mid-tier RMC or maybe better.

@katherinezimmerman6997 Год назад

Can confirm: Flying Dinosaur at USJ is awesome. I think it’s ruined me for all other flyers. It can also be an unintentional water ride if you ride it in the rain, at least judging by how stupidly soaked I was after doing that.

@IRDeady Год назад

going to sfmm for the first time in february, x-2 might be closed but I'm still super pumped to ride tatsu.

@justinkyle09 Год назад

@PenguinPat Год назад

I'm surprised Tatsu has more prime ride time than Manta. I recall Manta feeling notably longer than Tatsu but I guess I was wrong lol

@praetorian1877 Год назад

Why did these stop being made? I love this ride type and Tatsu is one of my favorite rides.

@michaeltaylor1603 Год назад

The documentary on Tatsu revealed it running running "faster" than intended. They had to change out some of the wheels to urethane to slow it down. LOL! It was also a "bear" to erect that coaster on that mountain as well.

@AirtimeThrills Год назад

B and M and Tatsu are probably the best flier built. Of course at my ex home park of Six Flags America in Maryland, the 2nd flier built, lie to fly VeKoma Batwing. I actually enjoyed it but could never get the transfer tracks to work all the time, so long waits when I use to go.

@Diamondback230 Год назад

Next we need the worlds B&M dive coasters by the numbers!! I wonder what you’ll rank them…

@coasteraddict10 Год назад

I've only done Air and Manta but I think the B&M flying coasters are amazing and there's loads of untapped potential in the ride model that hasn't been explored properly yet and I wish more would get built to do so. The fly to lie on Air is crazy when it's running well and I'm surprised no other model has anything like that and of course the Pretzel loop on Manta is top tier.
