So if Sea World is finally getting a B&M floorless dive machine, I hope we can all agree the possibility of SFMM getting one is DOA.
Yeah, it ain’t happening.So if Sea World is finally getting a B&M floorless dive machine, I hope we can all agree the possibility of SFMM getting one is DOA.
But why even bother? Yeah, you could make it taller and have it be the world’s tallest dive coaster, but if they’re going to spend that much money, just do a T-Rex Giga.Not necessarily. The two parks are far enough apart that they aren't direct competitors. Generally they sign agreements for exclusivity for a market area for a certain number of years.

And in order to afford to build the world’s tallest and fastest dive coaster, expect one drop, an Immelmann, small bunny hill, and a final brake run. That sounds like the most gimmicky, most SFMM addition to me.I agree. Plus there are countless examples of parks close to each other adding the same ride type, from Inverted to Floorless. Love them or hate them, B&M dive coasters are MAJOR crowd pleasers with great capacity and reliability. It's also the cheapest B&M offering (along with the Wing coaster) due to their fairly unified layouts
I suspect every major US park will eventually have one, just like the B&M inverted of yesteryear. I wouldn't count SFMM out of the Dive sweepstakes just yet. The problem with SFMM, is their's would have to break some sort of world record (like Tatsu and Riddler's), so they have to play the waiting game to see how tall everyone else goes.

Just give me my Giga and I don’t care what SFMM adds after that.
Uh......want to tell us what’s going on?:freak::freak::freak:
:freak: describes how y'all will feel in the coming oh... 3-5 years?
Yup. Rode it on the 22nd. Happened to also be my first night ride on it.I did hear Crazanity is back up after being unexpectedly down for an extended time. Apparently, a motor blew out, causing the ride to swing for 20 minutes without power until it came to a natural stop. Was down until it was replaced, but seems to be back up now.
Yup. Sounds like the most SFMM thing ever.Screamscape is hearing that WCR has been delayed, on the account to large issues with design, with the attraction having to be redesigned to allow the support system & footer locations.
