Eurofighter over Dive Machine

[Darren B]

So Six Flags have purchased there first Eurofighter, Is this because they feel the Eurofighter is a safer option over the dive machine due to financial/space implications or simply because there is truth to the Busch Gardens/B&M golden handshake that doesnt allow any other US park to purchase a DM, So meaning that the Eurofighter will just have to do for SF?

YES im aware this has been discussed in other topics but hasnt been credited to its own topic like it deserves, I feel im not the only one asking this question.

It'll be because they're cheap.

Primarily this. Dare Devil Dive costs $9,000,000; Sheikra cost $13,500,000.

But smaller footprint is another major factor as well.

I can't claim to know the reasons for this decision (although I think I could guess correctly), but shame on them as the drops are WAY better on dive machines than Eurofighters, the beyond vertical is pure gimmick and is an inferior experience!
