Diving Coaster, Steel roller coaster in Songjiang, Shanghai, China
The Diving Coaster is a steel roller coaster in Shanghai reaching a maximum height of 65 meters with a vertical 90-degree drop followed by an Immelmann loop at 110 kilometers per hour. The train carries 30 passengers across three cars arranged in a single row of 10, completing the course in 2 minutes and 20 seconds.
Bolliger & Mabillard designed this roller coaster as a replica of SheiKra from Busch Gardens Tampa Bay. Happy Valley Shanghai opened it to the public on August 16, 2009.
This ride reflects the growing availability of international-class theme park attractions in China and represents how Shanghai has expanded its entertainment offerings. It draws visitors looking for modern amusement experiences.
This ride is suited for visitors with no fear of heights and good physical condition due to intense forces experienced during the course. It is advisable to secure loose items and pay attention to staff instructions.
At the peak the train pauses at the braking point offering a brief moment of stillness before the vertical descent begins. Later the ride passes through a water splash element within a specially designed tunnel.
