Description
After being started nearly 8 months ago, Black Halo has finally been completed. Two beyond vertical drops, three inversions and 4.8G??????s make it one of the most intense B&M Dive machines ever built. Experience underground dives, trenches, and near misses, all themed around a Nuclear Reactor test site, for the experimental ??????Black Halo?????? Reactor Core.
- This track is 100% clearance tested, including appropriate clearance for the wider Dive Machine trains.
- In real life, this ride would eight seat wide, floorless trains.
- All G forces are within +4.8 and -1.0 vertical, and +-1.0 lateral, so even with the wider trains there would be no excessive forces.
- Jimmy Yoshi, Jakizle, CoAsTeRkRazY, SMer: Testing
- Anyone else who contributed in the construction topic
- This coaster is designed to be a realistic Dive machine, something that could probably be built in real life, using similar or exaggerated elements from existing Dive machines, not an insanely twisted fantasy coaster. Please rate as such.
- All textures are either made by me, or taken/modified from the photorealistic texture pack.
- Requires the NoLimits Track Packager to open.
- Requires NoLimits v1.6 to view properly.

Prepare for the next generation of Dive Machine.

Wow, this is the most amazing thing I've ever seen! I love the scenery!!! Also, this was probably better than some of the REAL diving machines that exist today!!! Great job 
Very nice ride!
Its smooth and I very much like the second invertion!
Maybe the naming of the track is a little off. With the tech-theming and the underground stuff I would have called it 'Terra-Terror' or something like that... With 'black halo' I think of space things..
But who cares about the theme, it's a massive ride!

Could that queue have gotten any longer? ![[lol]](https://coastercrazy.com/forums/images/smilies/icon_e_ugeek.gif "test")
I just do not know what to say man. I mean, are there words that acurately talk about this coaster? Not really. I mean, the 3Ds obviously make this, and track work is examplary. The MCB just kinda bored me though. While I understand the use, I am just not a fan of more than one holding brake per drop ride. But ... just wow man ... definitely a keeper.

BT- Wow this was very well constructed. I definately like how you had catwalks all where they normally go on regular B&M dive machines. I did see a g of 5.0 at the bas of the loop, but I may have been seeing things. Some of the brake runs seemed like they slowed the train down a tad too fast, and at the top of the first hill the train comes into the brakes kinda fast, but other than those few remarks this was a incredibly well done job, as usual with you 
A- I've never been on a dive machine or a eurofighter, so this ride definately threw me for a loop. It got so much speed out of those drops it was just crazy; and the inversions were great and very well positioned to create thrills. I just love this ride!
O- Do I really need to say anything? Nothing on this ride has been done before, or atleast in the same ride of the same type. I really think this one is a greatly designed coaster.
So, how 'bout uploading Kodiak soon?

Normally I don't rate tracks that often (or I even don't). But now I just HAVE to rate this track! This really is one of the best tracks I have ever seen.
T: It is amazingly smooth, I did not find any possibility to crash the coaster so well done, I checked the coaster several times if it was possible to ride it with 8 seats and I did not find any hits, however I wasn't really sure about the left side. At some overbanked turns you come really close to the supports at that point but probably there's nothing going on (only a little creepy!
).
A: This thing blew me away! Smart thing with the +90????????? drops, that would be so awesome. I even almost got scared behind my computer. That first drop is really insane goodness! I love it.
The G-forces are awesome. High but realistic. This thing is a real monster.
O: A lay-out I have never seen before (it was very cool and good-looking), the placing of the elements are nicely done; finaly not that drop -> inverion effect again so they aren't the most important thing in the track.
Conclusion: I'm going to back-up this thing so I won't lose this baby. I totally LOVE it!
Nice work.

T: Great! Your track was very smooth, and pumpless as far as I could tell, or even cared to tell. Track was very smooth, and the transitions were perfect and very realistic for a dive machine. I beileve that your loop was spread out wide enough for an 8 seat wide dive machine car to realistically go through without a collision, as well as all your elements were not so extreme in turning that it would put to much lateral strain on the passengers on the outer edge. Your support work was also very good. [:)]
A: Very good in this field as well. Your tunnels were perfect and came in right when they would have the most impact visually. The air time came right when the rider would need some relief from forces, and everything else. The ride was very well landscaped, and the design of the enviornment was pretty good. Though I would work on trying to make your station buildings a little more interesting instead of just having a box.
O: Definately something different. I liked the way that you twisted your track. I felt that if this ride were to be built in real life, it would definately be a unique must-ride experience. This is the future of Dive Machines![:)]
