Fly at the Speed of Fear (SFMM Flying Coaster)

I was searching the USPTO website and i've come across two interesting ones, both registered for Six Flags, both registered on August 23rd, 2005. One is "Fly at the Speed of Fear", which i'm assuming is for Six Flags Magic Mountain's flying coaster for 2006.

And the other one is Tatsu, which is the japanese word for Dragon, perhaps for GADV's woodie. Or, perhaps Tatsu is for the SFMM flyer, since it's a dragon, and in the Samurai Summit.

Thoughts?

The "Fly at the Speed of Fear" patent can be seen here:

Nice find, thanks for link/info. I wonder what name will go with that caption.

I think "Tatsu" is a cool name for a ride, or at least creative for a Six Flags name. It reminds me of Montu and Kumba.

Maybe "Fly at the Speed of Fear" is the registered trademark for the coaster. "Tatsu: Fly at the Speed of Fear."

Thanks, I didn't post that like two weeks ago or anything. (rolling eyes)

It's not Bahari, Thats for sure.

SF/SFMM has to be thinking ...Those Damn Enthusiast lol

Tatsu--sounds like the noise you make when you sneeze!

Bless you!

I would put both of those with the MM ride... Dragons do fly so it kinda makes sense to use the japanesse word for dragon to name a flying coaster in a samari themed area. Then again when can you use common sense when talking about SF ;) *** Edited 9/22/2005 7:02:09 PM UTC by dragonoffrost***

Tatsu - Isn't that the guy's name from TMNT II - The Secret Of The Ooze?

Check out some of the other recently trademarked names from Six Flags:

"C-STOROLOGIST" (ABANDONED): Retail store services featuring convenience store items

"SHOUKA":Entertainment services, namely, marine and aquatic shows; amusement and theme park services

and of course the trio of names we heard a year or so ago

"MAX", "MAXX", and "MAXXX": Entertainment in the nature of amusement park rides; and providing amusement and theme park services *** Edited 9/22/2005 9:07:46 PM UTC by Coaster Lover***

Tatsu-Wonderful name.
Fly at the Speed of Fear-GOD FREAKING AWFUL name.

^ that's why it's not a name, it's a slogan like...

Scream: Ride out loud

Tatsu: Fly at the speed of fear

Is they're going with the Asian theme the coaster's color should have been black & red, with even some white thrown in.

I've come up with better names for RCT coasters than that.

You know something....whatever happened to all that stealth crap we first saw on KK's supports when they began showing up?

^Yeah like these ones

Why isn't SFA getting a coaster the ride

SFA passed up on coasters again the ride

SFA needs a coaster the ride

I hate SF because they wont send a coaster to SFA the ride

lol lol lol lol *** Edited 9/22/2005 11:05:57 PM UTC by westcoaster man***

/\ LOL YOU FUNNY FUNNY MAN.

I like Tatsu (Dragon in Japanese). Another park using a foreign language translation of a word for a ride (ala SheiKra, Montu, Kingda Ka, Gwazi, Kumba). It's nice. It's so fitting too, considering how this Flyer is being built in the SAMURAI SUMMIT themed area. I think they could have done better with the ride's slogan though. It's so tacky.

I thought we already knew that was going to be the tagline for the Flyer?

I could swear there was a thread around here that mentioned it.

Yep. Third post from the top.

The weird thing is is that I think Jophish was just making up his own tagline for it. I didn't think he actually knows it was going to have that tagline. It looks to me like he gave his idea to what it should be.
