Guess what we did? We FINALLY did another update! YAY!!!!

Yes, I know it's been a while, but we've been quite busy traveling around the world and stuff. But now we're BACK! With a VENGENCE (whatever the hell that means) and we've got two page (OMG, a whole TWO) of Tatsu mud and waffle photos for you.

And here's some pics because Jolly Ranchers are cool:

Things look a bit different now.

It's like an explosion of track!

Yes, it's a pretzel loop. To bad it's not edible.

How much do you think it would cost me to get to be the little dude in the basket?

"Yo, man. It's just me and the track. You want some? COME GET IT!"

I see 66 and 67, but where's 69?!?!

"Sorry, boys, no 69 for you today!"

The "Egg Turn." Today's assignment is: Use the term "Egg Turn" in a sentence 10 times.

Trains. They are attached to the track. They are attached to the people. Wait....ATTACHED to the people?!?!? Ouch!

Green, red, black, and orange. Hmm....

Thanks for the photos. The ride looks to be incredible. I'm also looking forward to Tatsu cutting the line for X and Deja Vu down. Makings of a great season coming up.

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!

Water Dummies say: YAY FIRST DROP!!!

A close-up shows the twistyness of the second inversion.

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! :)

Hell, we've even make it so you don't even need to go to our site because we love you all that much! =)

Enjoy!

When is Tatsu going to open? I hope it will be open when I go on April 22. I know on Friday the park is open till 1am. So maybe they are opening it that day.

The official opening is May 13th.

But the first day of non-park employees riding it is May 11th, when the coaster is being featured to the Media.
