I was wondering what the purpose of the holding brakes are on the B&M vertical drop coasters? Is it just to buil up anticipation or for a technical reason. By the way the U.S. really needs a B&M dive machine; they look so amazing!!!

The holding breaks on the dive machines are simply to make riders scream their heads off, and it works very effectively on "Oblivion".

I think its for rider reaction only.
