well it says from the vid that it is not like anything else in the world...(I wonder where we heard THAT from) and from the beginnin', there is a second 90 degree drop, but not in the same place as Sheikra is...so it is [yay]not a Sheikra clone [/yay]

Busch isn't that cheap man, they're not gonna go cloning designs.

Now the big question, what magic patrols it up the lift in that video?

Sheikra's drop is only straight down for bout like a second. Because the lead in is so big and so is the pull out...So hopefully this one 5 feet of straightdowness well make it cooler [:)] I just hope it has like an extended drop like apollo, So its like 205 feet tall but drops you 235 [:D]

None the less, you'll probably get the same experience on that drop as you would a complete 90 degree drop.

It'll pick up once track pieces start coming in. But for now, its still all just ground work.

This ride will shadow Sheikra. B&M dive machines are going to the next level. The floorless loopers replaced regular B&M loopers and now this is happening to dive machines. The park couldn't get a better ride.
