They look like diving buoys (without the dive flag on top) to me.
We all have that one coaster that we're ashamed to ride, but we love it anyway!

Ok! I'm sorry guys for the lack of updates yesterday but here we are today with a full photo review of Divertical!
First thing I have to say is that we all must keep in mind that this is a FAMILY WATER COASTER designed for a target made of familes with 8 - 10 years old kids. With this in mind I can start with the photos!

Great photos! I hope that the crowds enjoy the ride.

A bit of review first: Diverticla is a good family coaster. If you are looking for something extremely thrilling or forceful, go ride Katun, iSpeed and don't complaint. 
The lift tower thing is impressive to see and really cool while onboard. As I said before it feels faster than it looks. The drop isn't quite the usual drop because you don't feel like falling but you just slowly accelerate to quite e good speed. Than there's the water element which delivers a strange out of control feeling because you expect some splash and instead you just float at full speed over it. The airtime hill which follows has no airtime but on a family friendly ride it can be accepted. The rest is just a series of slow turns leading into the final water splash which really delivers a good amount of water over the riders!
Lets get back to the photos!

Can anyone explain how the train remains on track. Especially on the first drop.
There are no side wheels, who keep the train on the track.
Only after the first drop the side wheels have a rail to guide.

I think it was 125 cm which is about 4 feet.
