Diving Coaster, Steel roller coaster in Songjiang, Shanghai, China

The Diving Coaster is a steel Dive Coaster at Happy Valley Shanghai in Songjiang, Shanghai, built by Bolliger & Mabillard. Its 65-metre lift hill leads to a holding brake before the drop, then an Immelmann loop, a mid-course brake run, a tunnel and a splashdown element. The single inversion is an Immelmann, and the layout closely follows SheiKra at Busch Gardens Tampa.

Bolliger & Mabillard, the Swiss coaster manufacturer, designed this ride as a replica of SheiKra at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay in the United States. Happy Valley Shanghai opened it to the public on August 16, 2009.

The Diving Coaster sits inside Happy Valley Shanghai, one of the most visited amusement parks in the country. Rides of this kind draw large crowds on weekends and holidays, when families and young visitors fill the queues.

The train seats 30 riders in three cars of ten across a single row, and the holding brake stops it at the top of the 65-metre lift before the drop. Riders pass a mid-course brake run, a tunnel and a splashdown element before the final brake run. Secure loose items before boarding; the splashdown can leave riders wet.

At the top of the drop the train stops briefly, leaving riders hanging over the edge for a few seconds before the fall begins. Shortly after, the track passes through a water splash element inside a dedicated tunnel, which can leave riders unexpectedly wet.
