5 acres isnt much.

true, but for a coaster, its more than enough


my guess is either a dive machine or some kinda new ride from S&S Arrow to be similar to Drachen Fire

Not for anything big. My girlfriend had nearly 1 acre of land which wasnt very much. Even with 5 put together I dont think thats enough to hold even Sheikra. These things take up more room than you think.

My friend has an acre of land. You could fit an arrow corkscrew on it, so imagine an arrow corkscrew x5. SO nothing to big, maybe something like Hyrda could fit...

Which Arrow corkscrew? the ones minus the loop? Yea. But thats a compact coaster - nothing youd jump up and down about.

Theres all this speculation on a Dive machine but Im fairly certain that Shiekra wouldnt fit in my grandfathers old plot of land which was around a 4 acre strip.

5 Acres to me just isnt like "woah". Medium sized land plot for a coaster really.

Well, on the Goliath video, it says that it takes up 8.5 acres. So yes, 5 acres is a decent size.

well look how stretched out that is apollo probaly takes up close to that too. so hepta any new newS?

I Emailed:
http://www.hendersoninc.com and
http://www.pgav.com
I have not recived anything back from either of them. I might ask an employee if they know anything, but they probbly won't tell me anything. They open during the week staring on the 10.

First teaser is up!:



The building it's on is the old Le Mans queue building.

Well now its confirmed that its a dive machine!

cool...i kinda expected a dive machine, after riding sheirka im glad bge is gettin one but i hope its just a little better like taller/faster/more inversions...i noticed its like the same advertising as sheikra...how does that fit the france theme? unless its like a french word for like dive but what ever it is it should be cool...i also dont understand the flight menacing thing? o well im excited

thats what i'm trying to find out how does it fit the france, since every coaster is based upon a myth, creature, or fable in that given country...I'm puzzled

well it obviously has to do with a theming based around some bird (the talons) and flight. was a flying coaster completely erased from possibility? then again, sheikra's theme is a bird too. and the whole "dropping in" would describe a dive machine. any myths around menacing birds in france?

are you sure it's going to be a diving?

[hyyyper]

well, you see a partial bird in that pic, could be an inverted or perhaps a drop tower, not every construction has to be a coaster

I highly doubt they'll be getting another inverted coaster. A dive machine with a similar bird/flight theme to Sheikra would be my best guess.

How about and Flying Dive Machine

?????

Why on earth would you need five acres for a drop tower? I don't see why people keep proposing that idea. Best guess is a dive machine, and if anything else I say a floorless. Most likely a dive machine though.

Nahh dude, AT LEAST 5.5 acres are needed for a proper T-rex exhibit.

That pretty much says it all, it's going to be a dive machine

How does that say it all? I think it might be a dive machine based on the fact that BGT just got one, but that name and sign could also easily refer to a flying coaster, or one of many other types of coasters. Why jump to conclusions?

because the sign in the teaser pic said "dropping Spring 2007" I think that makes it perfectly clear that it will be a dive machine

[hyyyper]

yeah, but it also says that it will be sumting the world has ever seen before, so it might be someting new from b&m, or just the fact that it won't be a clone
