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.

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

Great to see something different on a dive coaster.

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?

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

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

^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.

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

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

 

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.

^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!

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.

^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.

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!
