Id love to be incorrect & see a dive coaster come as long as it's a custom layout cause I'm loving these smaller dive coasters with unique layouts.
& yes, a Vekoma family boomerang is a great fit for the park as well but I'd love to see a Vekoma Super boomerang come here with a wild layout & "bring back" Déjà Vu! Ugh miss that thing haha!!
God. I hope we never get a dive coaster.. I’m probably the only one in the world that absolutely hates them. I’d rather have some Good Gravy action….

I like them a lot. The vest restraints not so much as the older dives like Oblivion, Sheikra & Griffon seem to deliver a better drop but the newer dives do have fun layouts. I really love Emperor. They're also just fun to watch especially & I think GP wise especially, a dive is very fitting for our lineup. I'm actually shocked we haven't had one yet with B&M. But that was a talked over plan to come & XF came instead according to B&M during the XF media day. At least that's what Claude said to me. Not that it was a solid plan but he said "this (XF) is a better decision" cause it is a new product. Which at the time, I def agreed. But it's interesting to wonder what kind of full layout they discussed. All he told me was that it would have connected over the midway & was even talked about before Bucc Battle. So I assume the BB plot & SWF plot would have been been used.

Yeah. I’ve been on multiple. Just don’t find them thrilling and honestly they all feel the same to me as well. The drop doesn’t do it for me if I want a free fall I’ll ride Giant Drop. I would like to see a family coaster where Demon/BB is. Plenty of room there. Good Gravy is sounding good about now. [emoji23] (note: I don’t know if Demon is still up but from what I heard it has not ran since beginning of July) Ultimately we are most likely not getting a coaster though but one can dream.

I agree with the others, Dive would be perfect for Demon's plot of land. It's huge if you include the unused area where Sky Trail used to be. If I had to speculate that's where the Entrance and Queue would be.
I've played with the area a little bit in NL2 to see how it would fit and came up with some ideas, but if they modify the pathway from SWT/County Fair you could easily have the Dive interaction there.

A B&M dive coaster would be sweet! Perhaps it could have some interaction with X-Flight ?

Saw this on Facebook. I’m sticking with my SkyScreamer for 2024. It fits nicely in Dare Devils spot. Also likely means Dare Devil Spots will be the area used for 2024!

Does the days on strike number change or is that going to be 172 feet?

No idea. I just saw this on Facebook today. I doubt it changes. I’m assuming that’s a clue to the height.
I don’t think the swinging pendulum ride would fit there hence why I’m saying SkyScreamer. Plus with the raised platform, they can have the final height be taller than they actually need to build it.
I don't know, 172 feet makes for a really small Sky Screamer and the elevated platform would most likely need to be removed to make room for a tower ride's foundation.

Anyone know if Dare Devil Dive opened at all this year? Or what was the last year they used it? Haven’t been to the park since my one ride on Max Forrrrce a couple years back.

It’s been closed and removed from the park’s website. Here’s me going out on a limb….
Dive coaster 172ft first drop in that area. Kidzopolis rides are relocated to camp cartoon. And that area is also redone for 2024.
Whole area is reconfigured along with Eagle’s entrance

I don’t think we’d get another coaster yet though… [emoji2369] I feel like if it was a coaster they’d be more teasers of a bigger build up. My assumption is that they will announce end of this month and promote Labor Day special with fright fest.
I don't know for sure but if its the Super Boomerang it would be a bizarre mix of V2 and Maxx Force, with it trying to do both but not being as good at what its trying to do as either ride. And if its a giga discovery you'd basically have a giant version of Revolution right next to Revolution (unless they take it out of course). So either one would be kind of a silly addition. Also the advertised capacity for every ride on every manufacturers website cannot be taken seriously as it assumes every seat is full with every dispatch interval hit, which will never happen.
I say just bring DejaVu back...the "Super Boomerang" does not look nearly as fun as our old Giant Inverted Boomerang was

This last part best comment on the site. Bring Deja Vu back. Hands down my most favorite ride in the park. The ride it self if it’s a copy of the one in the other park looks interesting but nothing to write home about but….. it’s more along the lines of Good Gravy so I’m good with it [emoji23]
