SFOT New Dive Coaster Could Be World's First Giga Dive!
roadkill
A wider coaster train is more prone to giving me motion-sickness than a standard two-seater. That said, I can avoid said sickness easier on the divers due to being able to sit directly over the track. Unfortunately, the wing coasters do have more interesting layouts. I'm always stuck in a catch-22.
Hello, Hello! (hola!) I rode a ride named Vertigo!-with apologies to U2

I've ridden 5 B&M dive coasters, and I will say the best two are Yukon and Iron Menace. They both basically have no MCBR (Iron menace has none at all) and the faster speeds really make them fun to me. Valravn, Griffon, and Shiekra, while fun, all have pacing issues because of their MCBRs.

I think the Dive will be 305, not 309 as listed. My logic is that it the safety equipment will probably be a few feet tall, so Id expect it to be accounted for in the permits. So I predict 305ft.
Giga Dive 305?

So it appears I was right all along. It will be the world's first Giga Dive Coaster. It will be awesome to see a coaster which dwarfs Titan sitting right next to it

Project Rubi, love that name. Reminds me of "The Hills Have Eyes." That would be a fun theme.

Who wants to bet that this Dive will have orange track with either green or blue supports?

This is one of the funniest things I've seen on This Here Site in a long time.

Actually could be themed really well with an Aquaman theme. Shame they already have an Aquaman

Like that ever made a difference. One of my favorite/not favorite things about the Flags is how they install and name rides without regard for location, theme, or whether we’ve seen it before. IP rules, and there are bonus points for throwing the word Texas or Georgia (where state pride runs high) into the name.
