Six Flags Magic Mountain's Tatsu is TESTING!

So we managed to catch a test run today!! Not the first, but hey, at least we were there to check it out! Yeah!!!!! :P
Anyway, here's some pics from today. It does seem to fly (get it, fly) around the course pretty darn fast! And if SUF's pretzel loop is any indication, this one looks pretty damn good too!
And the first part, the double inversion SMACKDOWN looks cool as does the "egg turn."
Ok, ok....here's some pics.....

Sure enough, there it goes, up the lift hill complete with 32 water dummies!
(Oh, wait....two of them seem to be on a smoke break!) =)

The view from the entrance plaza is forever changed, just wait till Revy is back running again too!

Not only was Tatsu testing, but so was Sky Tower!

Temporarily in the flying position between the first and second inversion.
(Watch out, the water dummies pee on you!!!)

Pretzel Loop goodness into a shed! Seriously though, the Pretzel Loop is HUGE, hopefully it will deliver!

Thanks worker guy for getting it testing, but you might want to get out of the way!

Also, here is our testing video, this one in the daylight so you can actually see it! :)

OMG, I must have just missed it! I was there today and our group was like staring at it forever! It didn't look like it would test because the train we saw in the holding area had plastic over the wheels. Awww, can't believe I missed this :(

Oh, man, you must have just missed it. It tested from about 5pm onward. We stayed to film about 10 test runs and then took off around 6ish.

Are you going to the media day camp out? You can attend through our site for free! The info is on the front page!
