It's like they went into NL2 and forgot to change any colour scheme before freezing the coaster :/

Edit: ignore me, for some reason thought this was the Efteling topic.

^I didn't think this one had a mine theme? But, regarding the colour, I personally think that a white on white theme will look disgusting, especially with a dark, angry theme (based on the promotional material). However, we'll see how it turns out.

I'm also quite surprised that this isn't in the Construction forum yet..... :wink:

White track and supports? That's **** gross.

If they add suitable, contrasting theming then it might look OK. We'll have to see what they come up with.

Edit: I've just noticed that there are only a few, fairly short supports in the picture. I wonder if they're for a specific part of the ride (eg. the station and surrounding section), and whether some of the larger supports for the main ride might actually be a different colour.

The thing that worries me is dirt. White coasters never look nice for long, they get grotty so so quickly!

Jordan I agree! Although I still like the colours for the theme! I suppose it's good to see a Merlin coaster that's not black, but I probably would have made the supports black or grey?

Was a little surprised not to see this in the construction area yet. I has an update for y'all...

Theming is orange, white track and supports? Not sure how I feel about this. :/

I hope to god they add some more black into the theming. Bright orange is a grotesque colour.

I totally just did the same thing and had a minor fit about the orange!!

For Gardaland I actually really like it. I think the really bright colours work when you have that much sunshine.

Oo it's really starting to hot up construction wise. Can this now be moved into rollercoaster construction please.

Are we actually going to see an Oblivion spin off here? Ala Nemesis and Nemesis Inferno?

^Doubt it. I don't think that many Italians will actually know about Oblivion.

Here's a fan made video. I really liked Krake so something like this would be awesome IMO, although I do hope they will also feature a splash feature on this one.

I don't personally see what the issue is with dive machines being short, because the main emphasis is really on the drop.

 

[CookieCoasters]

Re: B&M Dive Machine for Gardaland in 2015 (?)

^I still think Krake and Oblivion are good despite their short length and their signature drop does help to make up for that, but I personally think Sheikra and Griffon are in a different league being that they have two 'dive' drops and a bit more to them

I really like Krake, but I kinda hope this video is wrong because new coasters with new layouts are more interesting.

New teaser has popped up online....

Looks like a mash-up of Swarm/Oblivion in terms of marketing.

That was actually a surprisingly happy advert!
