I remember seeing this when it was a bunch of track lying on the floor and thinking "Dear God it's pink!", but now I see it with the themeing... Christ this thing looks awesome!

I'd completely forgotten about it, did anyone else know about this?

I'm pretty sure, looking at it, that it's the same layout as the superman rides, but that theming looks crazy!

It does have the same layout exactly. One day i was just crusing through rcdb and did see this but thought nothing of it.
Trim breaks are your enemy, retracking/smoothing is your friend. I miss b&m floored sit downs. coaster count=39

It is pretty much the same as Superman. But they did go OTT in my opinion on the theming lol. Horrible pink too.

But it's got themeing; Superman really doesn't though, lol. It's an awesome ride though, the pretzel loop is incredible.

You have to be kidding me. The pretzel loop is the best experience I've ever felt on any roller coaster I've ever been on.

The pretzel was decent but overall the ride was very boring and pointless. Other than that one element it was a bunch of slow forceless turns that just kind of meandered around...

I'm saying the ride itself is awesome BECAUSE of that element; I liked it that much.

Strange that this ride (Chinese, btw, gouldy) uses 7 cars instead of the Supermans' 8.
1-Millennium Force | 2-Intimidator 305 | 3-Fury 325
4-Skyrush | 5-Iron Rattler | 6-X2 | 7-Kingda Ka
8-Voyage | 9-Maverick | 10-Monster

Superman was alright, the pretzel was good (after Tatsu it isn't as great but whatever) and the rest of the ride was cool for me because it was my first flyer. This ride just looks amazing though, I know I personally wouldn't be paying as much attention to the actual ride as I would be to the scenery around it.

I hated superman compared to a vekoma flyer. The restraints werent as nice either. I wish a park would get a nice long custom vekoma flyer. That would be amazing.

Wow. I couldn't differ more. X-Flight was painful and not fun whatsoever.

I had a very enjoyable time on Tatsu, and in general, B and M beats Vekoma.
