TATSU debutted 19 years ago today May 13, 2006. Rising up from the depths of Samurai Summit, TATSU soars over Six Flags Magic Mountain, bringing you face-to-face with the flying dragon!! In Japanese mythology, TATSU (竜), also known as a Ryu (竜), refers to a mystical dragon. These creatures are closely associated with water, rain, and storms. They are often depicted as benevolent and are revered for their power and wisdom. This flying roller coaster is not for the faint of heart- standing at 170

It's is one of the most graceful roller coasters in the park. Tatsu was manufactured by Bolliger & Mabillard and, perched atop the mountain, rises 263 feet above ground level, making it visible from all directions alongside the iconic Skytower. #sixflagsmagicmountain #ourmountain_thrillpark #BMRides #bolligerandmabillard | Our Mountain Thrill Park
