Tatsu's initial colors were not a wise choice for avoiding that kind of thing...

Wow...hard to believe next year will be Tatsu's tenth anniversary already. It's due for a touch up that's for sure.

California's sun sure has not been kind to Tatsu.

Yeah, the sun burns it off. Most California roller coasters get their paint burn off rather quickly.

That new photo from the double down looks a whole lot better. Should be a fun ride in the backseat. :)

The colors look great in that picture! Over time though they may fade, but for now they do look rather good.
It's been a long time

The previous Colossus was like "Let's run together!" because of slow-paced curves. but the Twisted Colossus is like one furious race is on! :)

Green and blue will be less noticable of a fade then orange or red.
Viper at SFMM is sad pink now, and you guys saw Tatsu :lol:
THe colors will last longer than if they went with the classic red.

The king of awful will be when Superman starts to fade. It was white previously for a reason.

Its been 4 years, and it still looks really good.
but yes, that will be bad.
Hopefully they can keep that baby blue!

Nice to see both RMCs getting towards the end of track installation. So excited to ride them both!

They really aren't near the end yet, it's just more than half way finished so far.
All hail your great Arrow Dynamics overlords.

From The Coaster Guy:

Final turn around and outward airtime hill. The Twisted Colossus track work is now about 80 percent done, and is expected to finish in less than two weeks.

They still need the other zero g roll, and that whole turn.
but it should go up pretty fast, the beams are mostly in place.

I think that's been assumed for a while now. Six Flags loves Memorial Day weekend openings.

So it has officially started testing (I saw a vid of the train down the drop) so now I'm just waiting on a full test run video.
