Heide Park 2011: B&M Dive Coaster

[Dirk_Ermen]

The rumor has been there for a long time. But now finally track has shown up at the construction site:


The first rumors were that it was going to be a dive machine. But looking at the track that's currently on site. It's more obvious that we are going to get a Sit-down, Floorless, stand-up or maybe it's also possible, that they are going to build another one of their prototypes here?

Time will learn!

Hmm,I've seen the storage area some weeks ago during my trip and took some pics,but the rails were not there,or I haven't noticed them,but I've seen they cleared some land and dried a part of the lake out,cause there is a construction site on the other side of the dry part of the lake,I would say the coaster would go over the walkway between both areas,or they use the space near Colossos,but If they build it near the lake,It will be a compact,squeezed ride...

The straight track at the bottom really looks like a launch section? correct me if i am wrong, but the B&M magnetic breaks curve over at the top?

FLOORLESS! OH GOD PLEASE LET IT BE A FLOORLESS!!!!!!

Well the hyper mag-brakes are curved over, but I'm not sure about the floorless.

Well, if B&M branch out to LIM/LSM launches, they will kick ass!

If B&M started launching coasters, it would be like crossing the streams in Ghostbusters.

Are you sure these are not the tracks for the Gardaland's X-Raptor ?

What would it has to do then in nothern germany and not in Monthey,thats closer to Gardaland?

Heide just got a launcher, I doubt that's what it is. And the straight part in question may be for drive wheels that aren't mounted yet.

B & M does not and will not ever "launch" a coaster. Mag breaks maybe, launches, not a chance in hell. There arent enough pieces on site to determine the type for sure, but given the floor plates that are there it might be a floorless.

I don't know what it would do in nothern germany... but there isn't any link to the site where the photo is...

yay i cant wait to see it next year...and i'm sure that these are mag breakes because silverstar has the same at the end

Could be a new prototype for a B&M Dive Lite with only 6 across seating instead of 8-10.

They already do!!

Umm, no they don't?

How do they not?

Because they have never built a coaster with an lim/lsm launch? Brakes yet, but launches, no. Hulk was a tire launch and B&M didn't even build that part.

Hahaha B&M launching... We'll see.

Yay, finally a reason to go back there. I've been missing Colossos' Airtime for a while now...

I keep thinking these tracks or those for the X-Raptor !

Look at these two pictures, you can see the same hedge, so maybe it's in a different place in the park, but I do think these are for X-Raptor !





So WHERE DID YOU TAKE THAT PHOTO FROM ?!

They don't look like the same hedge, There is no grass on the first one, which should be behind the pieces.

As I said, the news pieces are maybe stocked in another place of the park...

Edit : oh ok that was thoe for Heide Park...

BTW,the pic,that dirk posted,shows the storage area of Heide Park,I know it and I photographed it.But the parts were not there yet.

I've a friend in Soltau and he said that it will be a mixture between Flying Coaster, The incredible Hulk Coaster and Top Thrill Dragster. He read this in his newspaper. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMlPfHDD ... re=related [launch][peakhill]
