^It seems like it'll be an in-line twist to me as well, if its a zero-g then it'll be the smallest B&M have ever done.

[Damylv]

This sweet dive coaster should be completed today

 

Then they will work for theming.

So i think they will freeze/hide webcam

[Projektion]

B&M really seemed to have taken a liking for the inline twists, first on the wing coasters, then on Banshee, now they are putting one on a dive coaster.

Not exactly an inline twist, not your typical zero-g roll either... Anyways I find this inversion very sexy!

[rcjp]

^It looks somewhere in the middle so it should provide between 0 and -1Gs.

Great to see something different on a dive coaster.

[K1ngdaKa88]

Is that just dirt on the Webcam or should that be a hint for the Logo of the Dive Coaster? If yes, it could be a bird or a Skull and crossbones.

What do you think? Dirt or new Logo?

[KarlaKoaster]

Looks like a spider.

[RyanTPM]

It certainly is just a spider.

[Brassinthegrass]

I like the roll... It looks like one side will be more inline and the other will be more zero g... Either way, VERY SEXY!

[K1ngdaKa88]

If you check out the webcam you can see that they're building a near miss after the immelman!

It is still under construction, but I think it looks nice

[Damylv]

Trains have arrived. At least one is on the track covered with a sheet

 

It's hard to take pictures now because in Gardaland winter opening the whole northen area (so including Flying Island) is closed

I'm really curious if they will have the new restraints or not.

[rcjp]

^Yeah me too. I guess that part of what makes these dive coaster drops so fun is the fact that B&M's OTSRs allow for some movement which means you can/will lift off your seat. With the new ones, I wonder what will happen.

[RyanTPM]

I'm really curious if they will have the new restraints or not.

I was also wondering this! I'm guessing that they will

[Damylv]

This is all I have right now about trains

 

[rcjp]

^Interesting place to "park" them.

Are all the track pieces already in place?

[Damylv]

yes they are

[Nickstroberg]

Not that I'll make it out to ride this, I'm kinda hoping for the old restraints. I find them to be so much more comfortable.

[rcjp]

^The new ones may avoid headbanging but then I've only ridden two B&Ms (both standups) that actually made my head hit the restraint.

I've ridden Krake at Heide Park which is also a B&M Dive Coaster and it had the old restraints and I didn't get any headbanging!

[rcjp]

^See? They're not really necessary (in my view at least)

Those Dive Coaster trains are already wide enough, having the new seats / harnesses will just make them even wider. I'm with the "no" crowd on this one.

[rcjp]

^These smaller dive machine trains are not that wide but yes, I imagine how wide the ones which seat 10 across would have to be.

[_koppen]

As I written earlier on the subject, there is probably a will from B&M to change out all the old restraints on their line-up. The old B&M restraints have been since the early 90s and all the other manufacturers are changing out there restraints. It's necessary for B&M to renew their restraints to keep their portfolio fresh.

 

Still can't wait to see if they will have them on the the new dive machines or not!
