GMAN962 Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Has there ever been a dive loop an an inverted coaster? I've never seen a dive loop on an inverted coaster before. Correct me if i've wrong, but I dont think there has ever been a dive loop on one....anyone have any ideas why that might be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonKhan Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Nope No clue why not, I imagine it would pretty great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vjgx Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 I have no idea why... but there ARE immelmans on inverts, which has me asking the same question. A dive loop would be great on an invert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKAddict127 Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 It's kind of the opposite for sitdown B&Ms. While ther may be only immelmans on inverts, there are pretty much only dive loops on sitdowns. There is one exception however, which is Dæmonen at Tivoli Gardens. This floorless has an immelman. As far as I know, that is it. I'm not sure why, but that is how B&M works. Just for reference, people should know that dive loops are essentially the same thing as immelmans, execept they are traveled through in reverse direction. Edit: Turns out another immelman on a sitdown is on Wildfire at Silver Dollar City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnage Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 You could kind of consider Montu's batwing partly a dive loop. RCDB Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CP_RULES Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 ^You beat me to it, I was going to say that too. Consider Top Gun: Photo Credit to Coaster Image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMAN962 Posted September 17, 2006 Author Share Posted September 17, 2006 Well I'm mainly talking about a dive loop on it's own, not nessesarily with other's directly following it to create a different element Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollerholden Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Floorless coasters have an inverted feel to me. That being said, Medusa at SFMW has a nice dive loop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheStig Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Havent we already discussed this? I remember seeing this a few months ago, I did a search but couldent find it. Anywho I agree with the Top Gun and Montu dive loop refrences. They are both a variation of the dive loop, although Montu's is apparently tighter then Top Gun's is.

waterviper Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Well I'm mainly talking about a dive loop on it's own, not nessesarily with other's directly following it to create a different element Well since there isn't one made yet I guess you are just going to have to settle for the ones that have been said. They are right. According to RCDB they are dive loops going into an immelmann which forms a Batwing! Batwing - formed by the exit of an Dive Loop going directly into a Immelmann. So Technically it is a dive loop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HCOSurfer90 Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 There is also an Immelman on the floorless coaster Superman / la Atracción de Acero at ParqueWarner Madrid. Here's a pic - http://rcdb.com/ig1366.htm?picture=20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRollergod Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 My Coaster Dynamix scorpian has a dive loop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrakenKing Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 There is an Immelman on Wildfire and Sheikra as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nannerdw Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 A cobra roll is an immelman followed by a dive loop. There is just a really huge height difference between the entrance and exit of the elments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
