Heide Park 2011: B&M Dive Coaster

sorry coaster freak but if thats what the paper said it sounds like a load of bull to me.

I also think so! I think the reporter doesn't know very much about coasters... Maybe they mean a dive machine with lunch elements after the first drop??

[Turbo]

^That would be awesome though. lets hope that the newspaper is accurate(for once) ;)

I can't fully translate the German article so if anyone wants to do it, go ahead:

Endlich! Die Attraktion 2011 zieht in das Heide-Park Resort ein. Bisher allerdings nur teilweise und im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes St?????????ck f?????????r St?????????ck: Mit den dunkelgrauen Schienen sind aber immerhin schon einige der wichtigsten Achterbahnteile ?????????berhaupt geliefert worden.

Der Lastwagen, der k?????????rzlich eine Lieferung in das Heide-Park Resort brachte, war ausnahmsweise mal nicht mit Tiefk?????????hlware oder Getr?????????nken beladen, sondern hatte die hei????????? ersehnten ersten Schienen f?????????r die neueste Attraktion des gr??????????????????ten norddeutschen Familien- und Freizeitparks an Bord. Derzeit ?????????rauchen????????? die Expertenk?????????pfe im Heide-Park Resort zwar noch ?????????ber der Umsetzung des Schienenverlaufs und sogar eine Delegation des Mutterkonzerns, der Merlin Entertainments Group, ist zur Unterst?????????tzung aus England angereist, fest steht aber bereits, dass die zehn Millionen teure Achterbahn im Fr?????????hjahr 2011 als absolute Superlative und Neuheit auf dem deutschen Freizeitparkmarkt in Betrieb genommen werden soll. Wie auch der schweizerische Achterbahnhersteller B&M best?????????tigte, handelt es sich bei dem kommenden Fahrspa????????? im Heide-Park um einen sogenannten Dive Coaster, der seine mutigen Insassen aus circa 41 Metern in die Tiefe st?????????rzen l?????????sst sowie deren Adrenalinspiegel durch einen Immelman und einen Camelback noch weiter in die H?????????he treibt. Die neue Achterbahn wird also nichts f?????????r lausige Landratten sein und ist daher in der Bucht der Totenkopfpiraten genau richtig angesiedelt.

Heide Park Website

Main stuff from the article:
* B&M Dive coaster
* 10 Million Euros
* 41m tall / 134,5ft
* Immelmann & Camelback
* Opening Spring 2011

According to the last phrase it will probably have a pirate theming(crapzzzz)...

[hyyyper]

I'm wondering if by camelback they mean 'airtime hill' or 'zero-G-roll'. I've read somewhere that B&M calls their zeroGs camelbacks, the same way they call their corkscrews flatspins/wingovers.

EDIT: Thanks to translate.google.com, here's the translation of the article:

Finally! The attraction draws one in 2011 in the Heide-Park Resort. So far, however, only partially and in the truest sense of the word piece by piece: With the dark gray bars are but already some of the most important parts roller coaster ever been delivered.

The truck, which recently took delivery in the Heide-Park Resort was not even exceptionally loaded with frozen food or drink, but had the long-awaited first track for the newest attraction of the largest northern German families, recreational facilities on board. smoke the moment, 'the experts heads in Heide-Park Resort still on the implementation of the rail route and even a delegation from the parent company, the Merlin Entertainments Group, is arrived to support from Britain, is common but already, that the ten million dollar roller coaster in the spring 2011 be taken as absolute superlatives and innovation in the German leisure market in operation. Like the Swiss roller coaster manufacturer B & M, confirmed it is in the upcoming fun at Heide-Park is a so-called dive coaster that can overthrow his courageous inmates from about 41 meters in depth, and their adrenaline levels by an Immelman and a Camel back even further in the height drives. The new roller coaster is nothing to be lousy for landlubbers and is therefore located in the bay of pirates skull just right.

Just 41m? Well I really hope the first drop will go underground, then!

@ LOEA, I imagine a pirate-themed dive machine could be cool if the theming is pulled off well.

Sounds like a pirate theme to me!

Is this the first time B&M has used actual magnetic brake fins rather than those other mag brakes on sheikra?

I would think so... 134 feet is tiny for a dive machine.

Maybe not...that's about the size of the second drop on Sheikra/Griffon.

We'll, the pictures of the track that we've seen before, looked the track smaller than the usual B&M Dive Machines. So I'm assuming Heide Park might get a smaller scale Dive Machine. Maybe even with fewer seats per row?

[gouldy]

Yeah, when you read what elements are in the layout, it's a lot less than in the other Divers (obviously apart from Oblivion and G5), adding in the overall height, the read up makes it sound like it may be a "mini" one, so to speak. I kind of hope I'm wrong though, because as cool as that would probably be, a massive B&M dive machine in Germany is the best chance I will ever have of riding a massive B&M dive machine, heh!

thats annoyin, merlin get a good B&M coaster for heide park and an awful gerstlauer for thorpe park, i wanted a B&M there :'(

I will agree that Southern California Houses are ridiculously over-priced. The house I live in is 1,100 feet and a bit more then $500,000....
