looks pretty freakin awesome, especially it being floorless

Yeah, can't wait for it...I guess it will be pretty thrilling.

Yay!

It's been known for a while now. It will defitely be a fun and interesting ride, hopefully I get to ride it in the near future .

Any good pics? Did a half-assed search and didn't come find anything new.

No pics yet.

Finally, my good home park gets a new ride. Floorless dive coaster, the only one of it's kind.

Oh yeah this ride is gonna be great. I am always a sucker for these dive machines... looks like the took X250's idea for floorless dive machine

Here's some pretty good concept art I found...

That looks awesome...
The water-splash part is becoming a tendency for Diving Machines, isn't it?

Good find sir. I was expecting a Sheikra clone, so its nice to see the extra immelman and that cool looking mini airtime hill.

Busch Gardens never seems to clone an attraction off one another, (wish I could say that about SF ) But I have noticed that Williamsburg always get a better version of a coaster than that what Tampa installs, even though the new virticals have a couple of the same elements like Immelman's, second near virtical drops & the splashdown.

Whoa, It looks better from those pictures. The train's huge

sometimes i wished i lived in virginia...

That is basically Sheikra.

Well...this will be florless...it might be like Sheikra in layout terms, although this one will have two Immelmans.

sweet preview video.
but.... the floorlessness begs the question of how you'll avoid ripping people's legs off with that splashdown element.. =/

even though you go in the water, i dont think the train dives into the water...i think :}

it won't. i've been on sheikra and you don't get wet on the train. but you can if you stand close enough (if i remember correctly).

I think it's funny that there's no chain in those screens above...it's almost like...*gasp*...magic...

That is basically Sheikra.

so. it means people around here won't have to go down to fucking florida to ride it.
