The 152ft drop will be beyond straight down at 95 degrees on this new B&M dive coaster coming in 2024.
Very solid addition for Dorney. I’m bummed this doesn’t have a mid course and second dive drop but I’m sure it’ll be a huge crowd pleaser for the park.
Yea it’s a good fit for the park but I’m still really bummed that they went with the dive rather then the Gravity Group shuttle coaster… The only silver lining is possessed gets to coexist.
Maybe the 95 degree drop will be the extra bit that’s needed but I generally think dive coasters are just ok.
Either way this is extremely great news for Dorney… They’ve needed something for a while.
The 95 degree drop is definitely nice to have, you do feel it on Dr Diabolical. Although it’s still a bit neutered with the vest restraints. What I really would have loved to see is a dive coaster that doesn’t immediately go into an immelman for once!
I’m looking forward to giving it a shot… The beyond vertical on Maverick is incredible so I’m hoping it’ll be a marked improvement on a dive as well.
Dorney Park was the local amusement park of my childhood! The Hercules was the big coaster that opened during high school or middle school.
