Well that confirms it being a dive machine. Has been suspected for awhile, but this will defintely get me back to the park in 07.

Can't wait to see if this takes the Diving Machine concept further than what SheiKra did.

Well from the short video, I could see the main vertical drop and what appeared to be a Sheikra like near 90 degree drop from the left of the lift. Still no idea though on what inversion(s) or other element the ride features. I just really hopes it brings something new to the table (maybe they can work in that barrel roll they originally intended to have on Sheikra). Anyways, can't wait to see how this coaster turns out!

Looking at the layout in that video it will definely be different then Sheikra. The Second drop if it was like Sheikra would have been on the right hand side of the lift hill not the left so heres hoping for some awesomeness and length to this bad boy.

"Like nothing else in this world" because its a new type of ride to I'd bet 99% of BGWE's market.

Great teaser video. I really wanted a wood coaster. I didn't expect one but wanted one. So I'm not as exited as I could be. Good to see BGW geting a much needed 5th coaster.

^ With King's Mill next door and their history of protesting any loud ride, a wooden coaster will probably never happen at BGE.
