These seem to be the two "big" new rides for 07...well, which are you more excited for?
Unique CP themed Intamin or first ever floorless B&M diver?

I must be getting out of touch with coasters...what's Griffon all about? Sounds interesting, but I don't think I've even heard of it. For some reason I can't get Screamscape to load on my computer today, so can anyone give some info about this one?

^ Griffon is a B&M Diving Machine. It will be very similar to Sheikra at Busch Gardens Africa only it will feature floorless trains. Check out this excellent video for a really good idea of what this coaster will be like. Video

Ahhh...so it's kinda like Oblivion only...taller...and longer...and actually got some other elements and stuff! Man, I like the looks of this thing! I watched a couple concept videos at the official site: www.buschgardens.com/bgw/ar_rides.aspx. I like the "splash-down" effect...it looks cool. Both coasters look pretty sweet, but I'm going to go with Griffon as my pick for what I'm most excited for. I've been on Intamin coasters before, but I've never done anything like a dive machine. I've always wanted to ride one of these and experience the 90 degree drop where you get stopped right over the edge...looks pretty sweet to me!

^ I think it is just built on higher ground than Alpengiest so it looks a lot taller. It is actually only ten feet taller at 205ft. Alpengiest is 195ft.
