How It Works: B&M "Flying" Coasters (Tatsu @ Six Flags Magic Mountain)

[@brynmichael8029]

You can definitely tell this is from 5 years ago. You’ve come a LONG way with each of your following video’s! Great job Amusement Lab!

[@sophiesblog0489]

This is cool but I have some constructive criticism. The intro is too long. I suggest making it about 30 to 40 seconds

[@brentbowman4498]

My initial reaction after first riding tatsu, “wow”

[@michaezell4607]

Actually B&M is a Swiss company,not German.

[@AmusementLabs]

+michaeł Zell that's true. Darn. Ya know I meant to fact check it, but glossed over it cause my mind was like 'everything seems a-okay here'. Ding dang.

[@michaezell4607]

Nice series so far. Any plans to cover parks outside of california?

[@AmusementLabs]

+michaeł Zell I was going to, but my SD card was corrupted so.i lost half my footage from Florida. Hopefully I can get back out there this summer.

[@NuggetVRshorts]

Feel like this ride is somehow underrated. Truly incredible.

[@DomDoesCoasters]

lets not forget all flying coasters would not be possible without Air at Alton Towers UK, the worlds first true flying Roller coaster and the creative minds of John Wardley, Walter Bolliger and Claude mallibard

[@emmywillow6599]

Yea, but Tatsu is a great coaster with exciting elements.

[@plushxwx]

literally all 3 of the vekoma flying dutchman were built before air lmao

[@bandmfanboy]

@@plushxwx Yeah, but they all suck compared to the B&M flyers.

[@brianmcnally2873]

The chain lift broke a week before I got my season pass 😢. I really want to experience it again since I haven't been on it since 2015. I hope they fix it soon

[@AmusementLabs]

Brian McNally ikr, this last time (1/01/17) was the one time I rode in a LONG time cause either it's closed or it has a really absurdly long line...

[@brianmcnally2873]

Coaster Labs from what I heard they have to replace the chain lift which as you can imagine isn't and easy thing to do on the worlds highest flying coaster

[@AmusementLabs]

+Brian McNally oh yeah. They have to remove all the guides and replace the sprockets and oil a bunch of stuff and check sensors wiring, etc. So yeah it's a prett y long process. Theyve also removed the lift gearbox for the moment.

[@brianmcnally2873]

Coaster Labs despite searching online for answers I still can't seem to find out why the Apocalypse has been closed for so long. I found out about the Tatsu online; obviously the Riddler won't reopen until Battle for Metropolis opens (I've also heard it's receiving a new coat of paint), but Apocalypse has been a total mystery. You got any ideas?

[@estevanrivera]

Brian McNally its fixed lol

[@evangregory14]

I know this is old but, constructive criticism, the intro was about 60 seconds too long, I can't hear your mumbling over the obnoxiously loud music, the info given that I could understand wasn't all accurate.

[@ilicia_08]

I love this ride! One of my favorites. One time we had to wait a little while before we could unload so we were just hanging forward there staring at the floor lol.

[@GrottiCrimeFamilyHD]

Great video

[@AmusementLabs]

First! Jk, I hope you've enjoyed the video. If you did, make sure like, comment what you loved and of course SUBSCRIBE to keep this series going and support this channel. Thank you all so much! :D

[@Aatrains512]

Coaster Labs SECOND! (Keep it going!)

[@Zrj19]

Do one of mystic timbers when it opens up that would be awesome!

[@derekwtang]

Does anyone know the name of the documentary or how I can find it?

[@matthewsilvas2973]

What's your intro music?

[@AmusementLabs]

My intro music or the longer intro music for the video?

[@matthewsilvas2973]

Coaster Labs intro music

[@AmusementLabs]

My intro music is a small bit from "Sparks" by Reaktor Productions The long intro music is "Newsroom" by Riot

[@vollzeitschwabe5495]

4:50 OSTR? Over shoulder the restrain? Wadu Hek?

[@AmusementLabs]

lol, I didn't see that. It is a bit of a tongue twister though...

[@2DamnSeddy]

Just a few notes... 1. Im quite sure they have ran all 3 trains before. The purpose of the dual station is so that 3 trains can operate at once. For example - The Superman Ultimate Flight clone in Georgia has a dual loading station and it also has 3 trains. But the clones in New Jersey and Illinois only have 2 trains and they both have single loading stations. 2. The pair of ankle restraints are called 'flaps'. 3. The 'track switches' (there are two - one before the lift and one before returning to the station) are called 'turntables'. 4. The 'Mid course brake run' you mentioned is actually the safety brake. Tatsu is similar to the Superman Ultimate Flight clones as they dont have MCBR's. 5. Your explanation on Block Sections is a little misleading. There doesn't have to be double the amount of block sections as trains. Using Georgia's Superman as an example, it only has 5 blocks (2 stations, lift, safety brake, transfer brake) but it can operate 3 trains at once.

[@AmusementLabs]

1. Oh, I thought I mentioned that. *shrug* 2. Okay, I couldn't find a name for them, but that makes sense-ish. 3. Well wouldn't a turntable imply that you're turning the piece WITH the train on it? Kind of like a train turn table... 4. Yeah, going for more simplicity. 5. Come to think of if yeah, I mean I guess. I should have said that depending on the type of block trains can occupy neighboring blocks (ie: a train in the transfer and a train in the station while another is one the course) like in the example you mentioned.

[@RobsRides]

Whoa! What happened with your microphone audio? Other that content is really impressive and crisp! Keep it up!

[@AmusementLabs]

+Rob's Rides some people always say it's too low and they can't hear me. So I turned it up, then they say it's too loud, so I turn it down. It's hard to find a good middle ground..... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@RobsRides]

Coaster Labs Hmmm...what mic do you use?

[@AmusementLabs]

My phone (note 4) and sometimes a rode videomicro. This one was with my phone.

[@Twistashio]

Coaster Labs u should get a snowball or yeti mic then turn down the music

[@sumguy8]

I think the first element in a 0-g roll not a corkscrew

[@bandmfanboy]

rcdb says it is a corkscrew, so I also say that it is a corkscrew.

[@jackdaddyslim3895]

I enjoyed this content very much and I appreciate the Time & Effort You Put into This Video. I Would Suggest Shorting the Intro down to @ Best 30 Seconds but 60 seconds is good Aswell... that's Just my Thought.. but I'll watch your content Either Way... thanks for the Great Content..

[@makennalange5484]

Where's the announcement video

[@AmusementLabs]

+Makenna Lange search 'tatsu promo' on KZbin...

[@YYYValentine]

Sound quality is terrible, please upgrade your sound equipment for the future, because the video itself is good.

[@AmusementLabs]

Try my recent video for better audio. Then let me know if it's suitable.

[@jacobaxton6353]

Ok, that was a great way to end the video. Tatsuuuuuuuu

[@soulgamer8774]

Whole intro: Me: *HOW LONG IS THIS GOING TO TAKE?!* It's good though.

[@AmusementLabs]

Yeah, I just listened and watched this over. Good lord it's bad. Probably should redo it sometime soon.

[@soulgamer8774]

@@AmusementLabs It's a really good video either way, just shorten the intro a bit.

[@plooperscooper7453]

Should have done galactica as it was the first
