This is probably the most interesting dive layout yet, the verticality of that cutback is awesome, it's unusually compact, and I think it's is the first to feature a corkscrew?

This definitely looks like it's going to be one of the more fun smaller B&M dive coasters.

Track installation is complete:









Also, the train is now on the track:

It looks fun, but personally I'm a bit sad it's only rolls. They could have added a fun little hill somewhere to break all the inversions.

Emperor has begun testing:

First test looks good, I wonder how much speedloss will happen when using that holding brake.
