Maybe it isn't even gonna be a dive machine? I would like a hyper or a launched coaster like Storm Runner. But if it is a dive machine what do you think would be a good name for it? And keep in mind the african theme

yeah, they were just artists impression and could be nothing like what the coaster will look like at all. The fact that it is going to be a dive machine seems pretty likly, and it would be intresting to see with Busch Gardens can do with it, as as of yet the full power of the Dive Machine has not been released imo

I think that it will be a dive michane coaster becuse I saw picters of the layout and my cosien lives in fl and he came up for a viste and he sad that bush garndes is going to get a dive michane coaster I hope that they do. It will be inrteing to see what bush gardens will do with the theming and the track.

I dont understand why BG would get another B & M, A Small intamin launch coaster would be great i think.

Yea, something other than another B&M would be good because they both do a lot of buisness and id be good to see something else.

BG fellows are obviously not idiots... Look at their parks.

Maybe Intamin is too overpriced? Maybe they don't want a problem-prone launch? Maybe they don't have the space? Maybe they prefer B&M from past experience?

Plus there is nothing down saying this ride will be a B&M. It's all speculation, and those "drawings" you claim to have seen are just artists impressions.

Until RCDB says "Dive Machine" I figure everything is just a rumor.

It could always be a 4-d or anything outlandish like that, its impossible to know for now. As Master of Puppets stated, RCDB will prolly be the first way of knowing for sure.

That would be neat in Intamin created a dive machine type coaster, like B & M.

well, they already have pretty much. Lots of their coasters have vertical/near vertical drops in them

A dive machine seems plausible though.
Think about it: Tallest in Florida (way over kraken's 144ft drop), Steepest in Florida, and only Diving Coaster in America. The GP will love it.
