[Dragon KhanWhen I grow up, I want to breed donkeys!]

The general disppointment is probably coming from the late overhyped annoucement... I would ride it because I liked the Mack versions (one features a very surprising airtime drop into a tunnel, curving steeper further down the drop, funny to look at since lots of riders with hands up suddenly hold on tight lol) So, one for the list but I wouldn't say Pilgrim is better, just because of the length od this one. but it's true: the park managers really overhyped it with the "world record breaking coaster" announcement... even when the official name came out with (di)VERTICAL I'm sure peeps expected more. Me included !

Where did the name Divertical come from, I understand Dive, but where does Vertical come from?

^ I'm assuming the lift, but I could be wrong.

Divertical is the blending of two words Dive and Vertical.

The "ve" are repeated in both words. Vertical conveys moving along an up and down plane. The coaster goes up the lift and then it goes down the hill.

It's not a difficult concept.

Also in Italian the word FUN is DIVERTIMENTO.
I think it started from that and it came out as it has been explained earlier!

there are some new photos... on one of them you can see a train... so maybe testing already started or they just did a kind of pull-through:

Yeah, but its strange for a park to think up a name based on its lift
When I first heard the name, I automatically thought of a vertical drop and was expecting a B&M Dive machine. Though maybe translated into italian DiVertical means something. Like cake.

I'm really curious to see this coaster in person because the tower is pretty big. As far as the possible ride experience it's hard to get excited.
