DoinItForTheFame Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 ^Also a nice catch, I never noticed that! Maybe they will use the giga coaster large lift spine on this one? Looks like B&M is trying new things... Giga Dive Machine?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Hero Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Actually someone on KI Central (the link attached to one of the photos posted) did some guesswork based on the length of one piece and how many pieces he saw and he got ~315 ft. He's certainly wrong without exact measurements, but imagine that drop at that height! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vonni Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Just kind of skimmed the last several pages, but am I correct that all the track pieces posted on this forum have confirmed destinations other than the dark orange and grey track? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saweetdude05 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 A giga dive coaster would certainly be incredible. I can only imagine the fear of being held over the edge 300+ ft up, what a rush that would be! I'm still expecting a 230-250ish ft tall dive machine, but a guy can dream right?

Coaster Hero Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 ^^Yes, but the with orange track it's esentially, "is it going to CP or not" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Projektion Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 The extended spine is making me think that this is going to have a straight drop like Baron instead of the slow turn on other DM's, since that way it would create an arch just like every other B&M with that extended spine.

DaMarkSta Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Here's a bunch of new photos from Clermont Steel this week, of what most certainly is Valravn at Cedar Point. A truck loaded with dark blue supports ready to ship. A lot of track loaded outside. More supports in the background. The gray spine is certainly unique. Supports that are not yet painted. Interesting lift hill piece. These are most certainly heading out this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I don't know about that. There is something about sitting in the front seat on Griffon when you scoot forward during the hold position that is fairly unnerving.

Infinity Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I was recently camping near the Clermont County and drove past the Clermont steel fabricators and noticed purple and blue track (was two toned track) and blue-green supports. Does anyone know what this is for? My thought was possibly for Mako, but I am not completely sure what color scheme that ride will feature.

Gutterflower Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 A bit of trivia. Â The next B&M Coaster to be announced. (Likely to be Cedar Point's Dive Machine by the sounds of it) will be B&M's 100th coaster. All 99 previous coasters are still operating or under construction. An impressive feat.

Superbatboy Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 If anyone should get B&M's 100th coaster, it should be SFGAM.

They are two completely different coasters with completely different elements. Even the height of the drops are different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its 99 separate rides. 100 if you include dragons challenge as 2. In which case the last one of the current under construction rides to open would be 100. Judging by current construction probably Mako or USJ's ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarmor Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Who wouldn't included dragons challenge as two? I counted and with opening dates would put the relocated from hard rock park as the 100th, looks like its gonna be a close race with the flyer and hyper! Lets see who opens first . . .

PhantomPoster32 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 The next coaster announced will be their 100th installation. There problem solved and you don't have to get into the stupid debate on whether or not s project counts as two coasters or not. Â Really, like it matters if Dragons Challenge is two coasters or not. It was a SINGLE installation for B&M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutterflower Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 (edited) Who wouldn't included dragons challenge as two? I counted and with opening dates would put the relocated from hard rock park as the 100th, looks like its gonna be a close race with the flyer and hyper! Lets see who opens first . . .  The hard rock park one doesn't count as its relocated and opened before.  The next coaster announced will be their 100th installation. There problem solved and you don't have to get into the stupid debate on whether or not s project counts as two coasters or not.  Really, like it matters if Dragons Challenge is two coasters or not. It was a SINGLE installation for B&M Also not quite true  In short here is how it breaks down. There are already more than 100 coasters actually in existence.  96 Operating  1 Has operated and will reopen. Led Zeppelin  4 New Under Construction Hot Go Park Wing Coaster Xisuangbanna Flyer USJ Flyer Mako  1 Sat in the yard Unknown brown dive machine  So there are 97 B&M's that have opened before and 5 known coaster being built which could claim the title of 100th B&M to open. The 3rd of those 5 to open will be the 100th.  XIshuangbanna's flyer is due to open in a month or two. So its the 2nd to open out of USJ's flyer, Mako, Hotgo's wing coaster or that brown dive machine.  If you count DC as one then its the 3rd of those 4 to open. Does that make sense?  Does it really matter? No not really. Edited August 16, 2015 by Gutterflower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 The next coaster announced will be their 100th [new] installation. There we go, so there's no more confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCT3Bross Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I don't know guys, Bare with me here as I may go full GP here. But isn't Dragon Challenge 1 project that exists out of 2 coasters. Yeah they're completely separate and I fans will count it as 2 credits, but isn't it 1 whole? The Hungarian Horntail is nothing without it's Chinese Fireball. Okay maybe we can't count the next announced coaster as the 100th coaster (As that is most likely the last to open currently) but it is the 100th Project of B&M and in my eye's doesn't that count more as the milestone coaster then Mako or the USJ as those are project 98th and 99th. I may sound stupid but I believe I'm on to something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
