Re: B&M Dive Machine for Gardaland in 2015
Well it is supposed to slow the train down, and it makes for one of the most enjoyable inversions I've experienced, so yes it affects the experience of the ride, but in a good way.

I'd just like to see something different for a change.Darren B said:They won't use any other inversion other than an Immelmann, it's purely there to make a sharp turnaround. If you start sticking extra inversions on it then the cost increases dramatically, and then you also start to detract from the rides main feature which is the vertical drop.
I don't expect to see anything other than the traditional drop, turnaround and splash elements, so I'm calling something very similar to Krake, if not a clone.
Same with me. They've already used splashdowns on what, 3 DMs? There's nothing really wrong with them though, but it's not like its necessary. Also, I haven't ridden Krake, but to me it seems like its splashdown kills the speed. Does it affect the experience of the ride on Krake?Ethan said:Part of me loves Krake's splashdown, but part of me hopes that if Gardaland were to get a DM, they would leave it out.
Although it's very dramatic (visually), so it wouldn't surprise me if future models include them.
Anyway, I'm not setting high hopes for something unique.
