It’s not the world’s first dive coaster. It’s just like Busch Garden Williamsburg’ Griffon and BG Tampa’s Sheikra. Get your facts straight. They were here first!
Alton Towers (Staffordshire, UK) had the first vertical drop dive coaster in the world in 1998 and features trains that are 8 passengers wide, and Thorpe Park (Surrey, UK) has a coaster with a 100 degree drop angle, the steepest in the world when it opened in 2009. So Six Flags haven’t really got anything groundbreaking at all.
And they’re making a big deal about it being a 7 seater, Sheikra at Busch Gardens goes 8 wide, 3 rows deep. Nothing special about this knock off coaster.

I was gonna say the same thing. Damn near identical. Wonder if it’s gonna splash water too.
