B&M Dive Machine - Track Suggestion

I know that you guys are not finished yet with this coaster type, but as a huge fan of dive machines, I wanted to point out how you guys should design the track for this coaster. The track is not only larger than a standard B&M track, but it's also a bit different (I don't know the name of the pieces that connect the rails, but that's it).

You can see that it's flat, and just curves where the tracks connect. I hope you guys considered those small details :3

OBS: English is not my native language, so, sorry for any possible mistakes.

I think this is a good point, just depends whether they'll bother to change it. It'll be in alpha for a while so they'll have plenty of time to do so.

(Also your English is fine :p)

This is something I would really like to see as 8 and 10 seat dive machines just look odd on standard size B&M track.

Indeed, the track should be bigger and apart from where the track pieces join, the cross-ties are straight rather than indented.

The ties would be an easy fix, but I'm more than happy just to have that correctly sized and proportioned track. Even that's above and beyond what we expected.

Planet Coaster knocks it out the park again.

Actually, the cross ties in this picture are from an older style dive machine. I've seen the Valravn track (still in construction) up close and personal (touched it, sat on it, took photos with it) and they are the same as standard B&M track now... just larger.

o.o you're right, I just noticed that. I thought that this might be because Valravn is an 8 seat one, but I found one with 10 seats that also looks like this, the Dive Coaster at Chimelong Paradise. That will help me and my OCD xD, thanks man.

Wow. That's really interesting. I like how tracks are always evolving.
Please could you post some of your pics. The slightly jealous coaster geek sat over this side of the pond would LOVE to see them. 😃
