Too bad they couldnt have added a Camelback, Multi Level Helix, or Hammerhead.

If Great America does get a B&M Dive Machine, I hope its quality and not quantity, if that makes since?

Make a good ride, not a ride with a ton of different elements for different elements' sake?

Its not. Look it up even on rcdb.com That immelman is nice. Ill say it looks the same but its honestly not a clone. There is no carousel curve around the station and there is a different turnaround at the end, that again goes to the ground like the turn out of the immelman.

I think the big difference is that the tunnel on Sheikra hides the fact that you are going under the water. I think the effect this one delivers is much better. Let's hope they keep developing more of these, cause i absolutely love the new Dive machine coasters!!!!

Griffon doesn't have a underground tunnel under its splash pool. I never said that this coaster in China was the first one with an underground tunnel under the splash pool. I 'm only complimenting the element and saying that they should make just about all of them this way.
