Good effort, the ride had some technical problems but this was a good, realistic attempt at a dive machine. Whilst it wasn't particularly unique it was still a fun ride.
Technique Good Things +Passed E-Stop +Support work was better than average - You used prefabs to good effect and threw in some custom supports where required! The track in the tunnel was not supported however! +Trackwork was generally shaped well - First half of the ride the track felt decent. It felt a bit wobbly in places which might be because of the imported trackwork but I'm not 100% sure +Second train stacking on the lift hill - you need to fix the MCBR settings to allow it to pass! +Second inversion was too tight and the far left seat to experience painfull g-forces. All the elements in a dive loop need to be gradual - sometimes you just won't have the speed to pull of an inversion. +Scenery felt a bit "stick some trees round the track". Didn't feel like it had any real aim to it. +Holding break acceleration was set too fast so the ride "jerked" onto it.
Adrenaline +Good use of tunnels and water splash - this sort of thing always adds to a ride - better intereaction with additional scenery and perhaps the existing track would be good! +Ride was of decent length generally and paced fairly well. The last section felt a little drawn out and seemed like you were just trying to get back to the final brake section.
Uniqueness +I liked the lateral air turn thing - that was an innovative twist that felt liek it still belonged on a dive machine. +The ride lacked anything else to really set it apart from the rest. The layout was very typical of a dive machine +3DS and additional scenery would've also made this ride unique.
Realism This was a solid effort realism wise. My only real gripe was the second inversion and some of the shaping maybe needed some slight tweaking. However the set up of the drops, lifts and general track was good.
Technique: Your timing is off. If you start in the second train, you will notice there is a considerable on the chain lift while the first train clears the blocks. The track was smooth. It was well built. The supports seemed right to me. They look as if they would hold the track and train up. The water splash was good. It did feel somewhat slow and I think that's due to the size of the trains.
Adrenaline: Well, I wasn't really impressed adrenaline wise with it. Like the vertical drops and tunnels are cool, but I can't say they really made me feel this was above average adrenaline.
Uniqueness: I can't say it was all that unique. Sure, there's a setup of inversions that make it unique in its own way. I like the desertish/tropicalish theme you had going. I'll give you a point on that.
Realism: I think this can be realistically built! It is not a crazy ride that would make the physics of it be unrealistic. The spread of the layout is good so a park with adequate space can add it in.
Rider Value: Personally, I would ride it once, maybe twice but I wouldn't see myself picking this roller coaster in a theme park over another one. If there's something else more intense, then I'd pick that over this one. The lack of proper timing would irritate riders as well so I doubt they would come back because of that. Being stuck on the lift while the first train finishes isn't cool.
