Were the Titan trains actually that bad?
I mean it's probably in part due to the ride itself. Not sure I'd want to be stapled firmly through Arrow's famous torture bowl.
Track and supports for Canada's Wonderland's new dive

As a person who has MA as their home park, I hate you a little bit. I totally got got.
i made a quick prediction for the second ever big dipper. somehow really interesting and odd layout.
its based on a video with some offride footage the showed at an event.
Apparently RMC Son Of Beast rebuild for KI 2019 is a rumor going around now
I guess that does make sense since it's the 40th anniversary of The Beast. I had been thinking about making something like that in NL2 but holding off until the RMC update.
I believe that rumor was based on this Reddit post and the tons of coaster fanatics who will say "RMC" whenever a new marker appears. Screamscape has a more reasonable explanation in that Cedar Fair is pulling some really complex marketing scheme targeted at enthusiasts who keep tabs on all their parks
Plot twist: Canada's Wonderland's dive coaster will be "Son of Beast Reborn" and not "Ziz"
^^ Also noticed in that teaser is 6919. Backwards and upside down 16-6-9, the date that SOB closed. (read this somewhere on insta).
^^^ Whatever the outcome I am enjoying the complex marketing scheme Cedar Fair is operating!
^I can hardly keep up with the plot. Wonder if it will ever get detailed enough for someone to write a TvTropes page about it.
Dododonpa is anime now

That looks much better than Cory in the House.
I apologize is this isn't allowed, but Canada's Wonderland dive coaster seemed to leak from MSN.

First Dive Coaster with a vertical loop
Honestly looks incredible. Really good layout. Easily takes the cake for the best B&M Dive out there, by a long stretch haha
I'm divided on this one. You can't go wrong with a B&M dive machine unless it's called oblivion but parts of this just seem amateur, like they're trying to cram as many inversions in as possible. Admittedly they're all executed fairly well but that vertical loop just looks a bit crap

Oblivion is the shit!
I'm divided too. Although we've been wanting more and more from DM for years, I feel like this may be a little too much.
^^ I agree with you. Plus the section after the MCBR looks rather pointless?
Yall complain about things like post MCBR and the "excessive" inversions but fail to recognize that it still does more than literally any other large scale DM. It has a much longer (and more unique) first half and a 2nd half that, while isn't comparable to the first, still does more than most other DM's.
They literally just took the base from any other large Dive and added more to it, there's not much you can complain about.
^ This and a "boring" or "pointless" second half is still better than nothing in my opinion. Personally I think this looks great and I'm sure that the helix after the MCBR will be more forceful than it looks.
None of us ever complained as such, it'll be a good ride no doubt, but in the same way something like the Smiler is a reasonable ride, it adds on from previous rides but arguably adds far too much, just a ride to break records rather than just be a good ride
Were the Titan trains actually that bad? They don't look awful to me. I mean, there's more hard plastic shiny plastic than I want to see on a coaster seat, but the main supportive parts look like they... might be squishy? And the seatbacks are a bit high/wide (presumably for the audio), but that lapbar looks just fine and the trains are super open at least? Please don't screw this up S&S...
