Welcome to the forums. SFGAdv already has a hyper, strata, floorless, Intamin Pre-Fab, and a flyer. I really don't think they need one, and if Six Flags does buy one, I really doubt it will go to SFGAdv.

I've only heard about it here, but I just searched it and read the screamscape statement, which was from over 2 years ago, and mentioned that it may go to Great America too. I don't even think Six Flags is sure about this one.

I had found a couple of other sites that had some documentation as well but nothing very solid.

Is this rumor still going around?!? Last year everyone on SFGAm world was saying Great America was going to get a Dive Machine. you know why? Just because someone posted a picture of dive machine track outside of B&M's factory in Ohio. Everyone started speculating that is was going to go to a six flags park, and now this rumor is still going around. Unless someone has ANY evidence besides these pictures, this topic is pointless.

Red, actually. There were no yellow dive machines.

What yellow track are you referring to?

^I'm pretty sure that's Intimidator at Carowinds. There was some yellow track along with the red at one point.

I was referring to the "mysterious" Yellow B&M track that came out of the same plant, I think it was discussed on TPR.

EDIT: yup

Yeah, I guess it's not a Dive machine.

^hmm, I've never seen that before. If it was extremely recent I would say it is Chang being refurbished.

No. It was a topic on TPR (I think) about 4 months ago. I'll see if I can find it again.

If they were taken in January, I would assume it would open in 2010. According to rcdb, there are only 3 parks that have 'unknown' coasters opening in 2010 in which the manufacturer is not known. Those are S?????????rk?????????nniemi Amusement Park, China Dinosaur Park, and Six Flags Magic Mountain. SFMM is rumored to get a kiddie coaster and wiggles world in 2010, plus they already have a B&M invert, stand-up, floorless, and flying. Goliath pretty much takes the place of a B&M hyper. China Dinosaur park looks really small, and they only have a golden horse spinning coaster (maurer shone rip-off). The new coaster for S?????????rk?????????nniemi Amusement Park is supposed to have a 48" height requirement.

Either this coaster will open in 2011, or a new, un-announced park is under construction (X-Works???).

^It was in that picture...

^^Why does the 48" requirement put B&M out of the picture?

because all B&M's made to date have either had a 54" or 56" height requirement. And I was talking about track for any 2011 Dive Machine. It probably would not be made until spring.

Try to be specific next time please?

And who's to say that they won't produce anything with a smaller height requirement than that?

maybe b&m is going to try something a little different. I believe they should try a 4-D coaster.

100th post. :)

I'll kill my sister's stuffed bunny and make her watch if B&M makes a 4-D coaster look a-like.
Sometimes you gotta sacrifice a little bit of yourself to get the job done.
