Dive loops on inverts

[GMAN962]

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?

[DragonKhan]

Nope

 

No clue why not, I imagine it would pretty great!

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.

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.

You could kind of consider Montu's batwing partly a dive loop.

^You beat me to it, I was going to say that too. Consider Top Gun:

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

Floorless coasters have an inverted feel to me. That being said, Medusa at SFMW has a nice dive loop.

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.

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!

There is also an Immelman on the floorless coaster Superman / la Atracción de Acero at ParqueWarner Madrid.

My Coaster Dynamix scorpian has a dive loop!

There is an Immelman on Wildfire and Sheikra as well...

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.
