Happy 20th Birthday to Tatsu! š¢
For two decades, this flying coaster has delivered unforgettable thrills, incredible views, and the feeling of soaring through the sky like nothing else.
Happy 20th Birthday, Tatsu!
To this day it's still one of the most impressive B&M coasters ever built. I'll never forget watching the little clips of the coaster on the @sixflagsmagicmountain website and then going around and showing all my friends.
Cheers to Tatsu! š»
