nope, dive machine track guage is larger than other B&M style track as it has to hold 8 across trains. i think all other track is the same guage though.

The depth of the spine varies as well. If you search for some photos of Silverstar the spine is huge on the drop, while sections in Talon are much smaller. It kind of goes on the theory of distance between supports, I suppose, like the differences between two, three and four-rail Intamin track.

Alton Towers actually has three different gauges of track. Nemesis is the standard sicve for Inverteds and is the smallest. AIR has slightly wider tack, my guess is for the tilting equipment above the station since a lot is over the track. Then Oblivion has wider track still to maybe 1 and a half times the Nemesis track. It looks huge.
