Italy's Newest B&M Coaster Now Complete

Garadaland has completed the trackwork for their latest Bolliger & Mabillard roller coaster, a dive coaster with an as-yet unknown name.  There's probably more information on the ride and its theme available on the park's website, but I don't speak Italian and thus have no idea what's going on in these videos!

Anyway, crews had installed the lift, first drop, initial tunnel and a teeny tiny Immelmann a while ago, but there was still some mystery surrounding the rest of the ride's layout.

These new photos have been released by Garaland and show off all the 'goods' that the ride has to offer.  After the bite-sized Immelmann, the trains will hop over a very nicely sharp looking air-time hill... with the hopes that it really will give a good amount of air! We shall see on that one.

The trains will then navigate a very tight helix, remaining suspiciously high off the ground while in the heavily banked element.  Then, as many predicted, the ride will have a second inversion - what appears to be a corkscrew that is almost stretched out enough to be called a heartline roll.  A quick final turn and the brakes are next.

Here's the real beauty shot, the ride's full layout from some location above the ground.  You can see a great keyhole 'near miss' element being installed after the Immelmann, as well. 

The ride is fairly short, and estimated to be around 140 feet tall... nothing huge but still a great idea for a park of Garaland's size.  I personally love the vertical dive on these B&M rides, and even though it's not 200+ feet tall I think it'll be a great thrill.  Wish a smaller U.S. park would build something similar!
