It's far too long - almost 2,000 feet longer than the longest existing B&M dive and long enough to be in the top 25 in the world. I get being optimistic, but try to be realistic here. I agree....it won't be that long. But still, considering the amount of land being used, it's likely to be longer than any other Dive Coaster.

prozach626 Posted June 6 Posted June 6 Yeah, that's pretty cool. Usually they seem to tuck all of that away.
Sportsdude360 Posted June 8 Posted June 8 These pink survey markers appear to be charting the underground power lines in preparation for the new coaster.

bert425 Posted June 9 Posted June 9 I didn't get an ask NOT to say anything, so I will share. I spoke with Jeffrey Siebert multiple times during Roller Coaster Rodeo this weekend, and at one point I was teasing him how I hope the new coaster at SFOT is named "El Toro" , as it's in the Spain section of the park. Name it that just to watch enthusiasts heads' explode. he laughed and told me that in all seriousness, they *were* planning on using a name from elsewhere, but he insisted (and won that battle) for a unique name. --> so the new dive coaster will have a unique name in the chain. (similar to the way they went with Chubacabra for the Goliath rename at SFFT). I followed up asking if it's themed to bull fighting as it's in the Spain area, and they aren't planning on changing that. and the response was "you'll just have to wait and see" but yeah.. unique name for this new coaster. 4

prozach626 Posted June 19 Posted June 19 I hope somehow the actual height of the ride is only 299 feet, but the drop is over 300 feet.

CaptainUnknown Posted June 19 Posted June 19 Because it would be an Orion-sized troll towards enthusiasts and it's fun to watch people's heads explode. 2 1

Sportsdude360 Posted June 29 Posted June 29 Staging area is getting pretty full! Pics don't do the track pieces justice! You have to see it in person to get the full impact of just how big this coaster is going to be!
