Dear planet coaster fans,

I saw a few people asking for correct dive and immelmann loops. Notice that immelmann is the same as a dive.

I'm using Planet Coaster alpha 2.2 and this tutorial is suitable for dive coaster, wing coaster, standup coaster and also the floorless coaster. Though the floorless coaster need some more work cause of the of the drop steepness.

So, how to make a proper dive loop!

Now the tricky part, The half loop we desperately need.

Start by editing your coaster settings as shown below to:

  • Bank Pivot Height = 2M
  • Angle Snap = Off

Now drag the first part fully down like this. (don't build it yet.)

Notice that the track is a little curved. You can fix this by selecting the whole half loop and clicking smooth a few times.
