Happy Valley to get a Dive Machine!!!!

Its offical, the dive machines are making a comeback!

Making a comeback? There's been 3 in the past 4 years.

Anyway, this new park is going to be the place to be! The highest dive machine in the world, I really hope they do something with that height, and improve their layout!

All Happy Valleys look very nice, this one and their other one I'm sure are going to be very nice as well. I wanna go to China.

Haha, I think they already made their comeback. And it's not like they ever dissapeared either. Only 5 years. But it's nice to see another I guess.

I don't see the big deal with the whole "dive coaster craze." The idea was great when it was first started, and the rides are amazing; I'm just hoping that they don't become too popular.

^ Your name is Griffonluv?! Why slate the dive coaster craze when that was one of the latest built?

They've been around since 1998 when Oblivion was first opened, but remember that was only a prototype, then followed by G5 a few years later. It only really disappeared for a few years to get a few modifications to the design, and since then they've being doing really well! Remember they are really expensive rides, because they can only really be built on a large scale, so they are never going to flourish as well as eurofighters and the like.

^^ Yea, really, your name is griffonluv, yet you are ripping on dive coasters... little contradictory don't you think?

^ True, since Oblivion they've really made a comeback. Ever since Sheikra they've just been getting bigger and better, Sheikra was once the tallest, then there was Griffon, even taller and another inversion, a remake of Sheikra in China, and now there making a 213 ft tall, there coming back for sure. If only they could make a smaller scale dive machine. That would actually be a nice idea, making a smaller scale dive machine. Such as maybe only 4 people across, just like the remakes in NL. They could be much more twisted, and much more affordable. On the other hand, it is pretty crazy sitting on the very edge seats, nothing under you, and your sitting 200 ft above the ground, waiting.

nice work with all the links, it's a shame that alot of them are kinda difficult to navigate due to the lack of proper engrish translation, or lack of english compretery! [:(] good job though

Jpecool and asaaa... Just cause my name happens to have Griffon in it doesn't mean that I am crazy about dive machines nor that Griffon is my favorite ride. I just thought it went together so I made it. That's it. And no asaaa it's not contradictory at all.

Anyway, I'm not "ripping" on dive machines in any way. I'm just stating that they aren't the best type of ride in the world. When I see one I don't go "OMFG," but they are enjoyable.

DM's aren't making a comeback. They will continue to be built for years to come with no height restrictions, which will never be enough, so they have no chance for a comeback. They will be built more and more.

China ChengDu Happy Valley.

I like this park.

And let's not forget the Gravity Group woodie and the Intamin mega lite in the same park! Maybe the best ride line up in a new park since IOA imo!

I've been following the construction of this park pretty closely as it's a good chance I'm going there later this year or next year. The place looks pretty amazing, and is a sure thing to visit if one is in the area!

They've been cloning Sheikra like a mother trucker.

It's name is "Dive Machine"? Youve gotta be kiddin me

[Coasterkidmwm]

China is too busy doing things like using Tibetan monks on a pilgrimage as target practice to be concerned with silly things like original names.

That's really cheap.

They just copied SheiKra!

ASSH*LES

^It's B&M, what did you expect? They clone coasters so many times, it's not even funny. (Even though the coasters are awesome) *Cough*Batman*Cough*

[Coasterkidmwm]

People order clones, they don't clone them.
