KingRCT3 Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Look like there will be a 2nd inversion! It's more likely the helix you were talking about on page 95, nah? Behemoth's connectors are also 90°:
Damylv Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 that support looks to me a little too far from the large footer. However yes, it could be final part of a large helix!
RCT3Bross Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Or it's used for a banked turn to go around the tower. B&M uses these 90 degree supports of much more than inversions or a helix.
spinning man Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 The way that support is makes me think a Stengel dive (if that's the right name) will possibly be included in this coaster. Or maybe a tilted pretzel, though I highly doubt it due to spacing.
rcjp Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 That lift does look pretty steep! Even if you take into account the angle of the picture.
RCT3Bross Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 That Webcam image looks weird with that picture of the soil in it. I mean flying supports, come on remove it already.
RyanTPM Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 ^ I think we'd all like it if they removed the layer that's posted over the webcam! I just can't see why they're doing it
Damylv Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 I also think so.. Gardaland doesn't like show much its new rides during construction but still makes this kind of fake-building-webcam-timelapse Something like this happened also in 2010-2011 with Raptor, I know this is a little annoying to us parks-enthusiasts
RCT3Bross Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 I didn't mind it with Raptor as it was just a green screen for a few seconds. Still the image was up te date even when the shadow flew over. This just blocks like half the web image. I understand they want to tell a story with it and not just stop with the videos and make it all complete. But yeah starts to get annoying now and that video of the cooling down is also more then a week old. Remove it Gardaland, Merlin marketing sometimes I like it sometimes it bugs me.
Damylv Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 Hey, check now the webcam Now the only one hidden part of the coaster is first drop. The rest is now visible http://gardaland2015.it/webcam/stream
flaffstar99 Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 With the new footers that appeared, the layout could look like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9RJx-I3ZhU Looks pretty nice ^^
rcjp Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 ^I would like to see a dive machine with one of these zero g/slower rolls (especially the bigger ones with rows of ten). That would suit it well, I think.
spinning man Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 I was browsing the internet for any recent photos of the dive coaster, and I came across this page. It has interesting photos showing many parts of the coaster, that I haven't seen before, as well as recent photos. https://www.facebook.com/gardaland1989?ref=stream Some of the images on the page.
coasterchitchat Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 Does anyone have an idea of what this dive coaster's name will be?
RyanTPM Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 It certainly does seem like this will have two inversions, the second being a barell roll where we thought the helix was before. Or maybe it's both?
thrillseeker4552 Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 So now Gardaland will have an all black B&M and an all white B&M. That is creativity right there. In all seriousness, it's great to see more Dive Coasters go up. I'd really like to try one out some day.
JonnyRCT3 Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 The base of the lift features a braced support, instead of the continuous box section (as seen on most of the recent B&Ms). Odd. I liked that look, but this looks good as well. Also, it seems like B&M is using more of these "mini" track sections at the base of their lifts. Anyone with structural design knowledge know why this is? I assume this is to reduce stress.

Or maybe it's both? I think it's both, like in the vid. So we can see here, that the 2nd inversion becomes true: Source: Coasterfriends
_koppen Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 This is shaping up to become my favorite B&M project for 2015, along with the Wanda flyer!
jedimaster1227 Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 I love that parks are building more B&M dive machines. While they aren't particularly forceful, the drops really make the rides special. Sheikra at Busch Gardens still among my favorites of all the B&Ms I've ridden for this reason.
Damylv Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 Lots of supports http://gardaland2015.it/webcam/stream

Overall I prefer B&M Dive Machines to B&M Wing Riders, so I like the trend also. Edited October 15, 2014 by larrygator
Damylv Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 http://gardaland2015.it/webcam/stream now drop si complete!
rcjp Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 ^Nice! Will it be completely vertical? Because I remember hearing somewhere the number 85 degrees.
