Hear, hear. The tunnel is basically pointless otherwise.Just once, it would be fab if a new one of these actually dived into the hole properly, you know, like Oblivion does...

Isn't that photo another tunnel and not the actual dive itself? I mean yeah, an tunnel like Oblivion would be fab, but I don't think this is the initial drop anyway?Just once, it would be fab if a new one of these actually dived into the hole properly, you know, like Oblivion does...
I think even a small tunnel like this adds a lot to the ride, but yeah it would be great to have another coaster with a properly deep tunnel. Oblivion's tunnel was a massive civil engineering project though, I think it cost about £5M if I remember right, which would be close to £10M in today's money.Hear, hear.

I'm not here for practicalities, goddamit!Oblivion's tunnel was a massive civil engineering project though, I think it cost about £5M if I remember right, which would be close to £10M in today's money.

Yeah, though they did just drop it next to the ride for the first few years until enough people were complaining about it not actually going through the ship (when it was advertised such).I like Krake's compromise of themeing the drop so you kinda drop into a hole, understand the impracticality of digging deeper especially for Liseberg given the high water table and the near by river.
The issue for Valkyria is its location. They already had issues with the tunnel at the current depth due to the neighboring canal. If they opted for such a deep tunnel, which would be amazing, it would not work from an engineering standpoint due to floodwater.
So I'm hoping it gets a massive amount of Vegetation added to climb up the drop but as of now it's not what I had hoped based on the above image.
I really thought if anyone would do this properly it would have been Liseberg.

They may have been able to work around it and have some pump system, but that could add a huge price-tag.
This is such a developing thing.ATI you’re obsessed with testing. Patience is a great asset to learn.
Now I'm thinking it might be Awaits Testing Impatiently.I'm now debating if ATI stands for All Trims Identified, or All Throughputs Interrogated.
I agree. Aesthetically it is perfect for the park and it does fit well with their current lineup, however dive coasters are definitely one trick ponies and especially with vest restraints are very limited in quality. I do prefer Valkyria’s layout to perhaps all other dive coasters, but nonetheless a B&M invert would have been a better fit (and better coaster) for the park.But that kinda proves the point of all the people shouting "Meh" at the Dive-Coaster announcement? Liseberg really didn't have to opt for this model, there were other options. Yes, it is still going to be a spectacular coaster, but limitations are limitations and it's not like they absolutely HAD to squeeze in this model because it's the greatest thing.
