larrygator Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 So, does Divertical count as a credit? You are free to count anything you want as a credit. I can't want for the day people stop asking this question about this or that ride. Unfortunately, that day will also be the end of the world.

Dragon Khan Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Just ask Jeff Johnson to know if it's a credit or not !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STR8FXXXINEDGE Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 (edited) I didn't see this posted yet, so I'll go ahead and share it. Mirabilandia posted it on Facebook last night. After watching this video, I can see what they were going for with the layout and the splash downs, and I think it works well.

Myself Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 So, does Divertical count as a credit? RCDB thinks so. This isn't usually my deciding factor, but in this case, it's enough for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenbowl Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 It goes uphill on it own momentum. It's more of a credit than the Mack Super Splashes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamoure Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Hm, i am not impressed that much Am I the only one who think this watercoaster is boring? (Of course it's a cool addition, but for ultimate thrillseekers it's just a joke ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STR8FXXXINEDGE Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 ^ They do still have iSpeed and Katun, two of the best coasters I've ever ridden! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vacoaster09 Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I am impressed as there is only one other ride of this type in the world. So I'm all for it especially since this has a coaster section. I am just shocked at the price tag for this ride! Why does it cost so much? Must be the technology (i.e. lift system) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernierocker Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 ^I don't know, I think I see a pretty hefty investment in that image once you consider all the site work and theming (which we do not have a lot of information on yet) that the ride will call for. And yes, the lift system has to be driving that price up quite a bit due to the sheer height of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gigalyte Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I love the looks of this and wish this is what HW had went with. If it turns out to look like it does in that concept art then it looks like it will be a great ride and that will be one beautiful station imo.

COASTER FREAK 11 Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 So, does Divertical count as a credit? RCDB thinks so. This isn't usually my deciding factor, but in this case, it's enough for me! I normally decide on how much if it is actually a coaster. It its mostly a flume or mostly track. Id count this as a credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal1br3tto Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I mainly use the "RCDB rule," modified a bit to suit my tastes. While I realize it's a personal choice and unimportant, I like to see others' opinions. It's easier to compare lists if people share a good number of their standards in common.

A.J. Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I wonder - will Divertical briefly turn into an Arrow looping coaster after the first splashdown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilltopper39 Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I wish a major water park would build a ride like this, would be a perfect addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geauga Dog Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Construction updates on DiVertical have been rather quiet lately but it's great to finally get to see the actual layout in the schematic drawing. This new style of water ride is rather intriguing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TXman308 Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 I can't believe I haven't even heard about this ride yet. Looks pretty awesome. It looks like 2012 is the year for underrated coasters. (Verbolten, Manta, now divertical) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidcoaster 2 Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 (edited) Mirabilandia has sent us a press release about Divertical opening in June 2012! Good to finally hear a target opening date. Hopefully it's ready in time for our stop on the Italy tour.... However knowing how Intamin is with water rides (or anything really) I won't hold my breath.
