Jcoasters Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Hey All I am making a Dive Machine. But not just any kind of Dive Machine, oh no no. You ready for the surprise? Brace yourself... It's a flying dive machine! Just imagine... Soaring straight down... 200 feet... 80 MPH... while in the flying position. Truly a unique experience. First you are held 20 stories above the ground facing straight down for 5 seconds... depending on the restraint for your life.... Then, after the long moment of terror, you dive down and nearly touch the ground with your out-stretched arms. This is probably my best shaping to date. Even though I'm still on the lift, I spent a long time on the pre-lift and I am very proud of it. The ride will be themed to the Japanese Kamikazes and have a small museum as a tribute to Pearl Harbor. The colors are not final, but I really like them. It is 100% hand-built. The ride track will be a Vekoma Dutchman, but I changed it into a B&M style track so you get the idea better. The ride will also feature what you see so far as a 3D spine, to make it more realistic looking. Yes, it is high off the ground, But there is terraforming coming after I finish the ride. Pics! That is all for now - J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Haha I remember thinking up this concept and actually buying NL to create it, when I was 15. It was my first ever ride and...yeah it wasn't very good esspecially as it was before NL had any sort of flying coaster! Glad to see someone doing a good version of it though. I never got round to trying out the concept again, it was about 8 years ago though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
