The Dive Coaster is a steel roller coaster model developed and engineered by Bolliger &Mabillard. The design features one or more near-vertical drops that are approximately 90 degrees,which provide a moment of free-falling for passengers. The experience is enhanced by unique trains that seat up to ten riders per row,spanning only two or three rows total. Unlike traditional train design,this distinguishing aspect gives all passengers virtually the same experience throughout the course of the ride. Another defining characteristic of Dive Coasters is the holding brake at the top of the lift hill that holds the train momentarily right as it enters the first drop,suspending some passengers with a view looking straight down and releasing suddenly moments later.
