But does anybody know why the drops aren't really steep on these? A steeper first drop would make these rides much better.

 

Because they are made for families.

 

Nearly 200ft drop, 52 in height requirement, yeah, Divertical definitely is one helluva family ride.

^That's what I was thinking. I mean, it might be a tame ride but I'd say the fact that it's so tall is as intimidating as having a steep drop would be.

 

I recently had someone try to explain to me that the DeLorean was misjudged by the media as a sports car, which led to it being misjudged as bad since it can't get up to the 88MPH famed in Back To The Future without being pushed or dropped off a building. I asked him how many seats it had - he responded correctly with "two". I asked him who designed it: he knew that too and that the guy is most well known for designing supercars. I asked him how much it cost when it came out: the equivalent of $65,000 today. Looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, probably going to be assumed to be a duck by the public. Same goes with a 150 or 200 foot tall water coaster. No ride with that big a drop is going to be marketable as a family attraction.

 

If I had to guess, having a more shallow drop may allow rolling friction to keep the speeds down for when it hits the water. But that's purely a guess.

Requisitioning this old topic as it seemed relevant now Phase 2 of Land Of Legends at Rixos World is under construction

 

Phase 2 is the theme park section of the resort and will be built adjacent to the water park with the Intamin Water Coaster

The park is confirmed to be getting a clone of Flash the Mack Hyper Coaster at Lewa World in China.

 

And as of December the ride went vertical

Also drew up a rough diagram from recent Satellite imagery. (early Jan) which very roughly shows the Flash clone layout in Red and circled in Blue what appears to be some more footers for a different coaster.
