Griffon

Griffon is a floorless B&M Dive Coaster with a 205-foot lift hill and a 90-degree drop.

Griffon is built around that moment at the edge: wide floorless trains pause briefly before plunging almost straight down. The compact dive coaster then runs through Immelmanns, a second steep drop and a splashdown effect that makes the layout easy to spot from the midway.

Theming

The name refers to the griffin, while the wide floorless trains heighten the feeling of flight just before the track snaps into a straight-down drop.
