And also at the start of the final brake run.A bit hard to see, but the magnetic brakes are at the beginning of the mid course brakes:

So the guys who tried to predict the height of Steel Vengeance have tried to predict the height of the new dive coaster:-

Um... hate to criticise him as he seems to know his stuff, but when he says about a 295ft tall lift hill, he says it would be the tallest in the park. Isn't he forgetting Leviathan, which is 306ft? Or is he referring to the drop? Nobody knows for sure, though. This guy certainly knows how to back up his opinions, so I trust that he knows what he's doing.
Or is this channel like the conspiracy theorists/flat earthers of the amusement industry, where they put a load of random stuff together to come to a possible conclusion? He seems to know what he's doing, though, so I believe him.
But I'm struggling to work out how we know how tall the lift hill's going to be from one footer?

It's this.

Ah. Thanks for the clarification @Ethan! Will certainly be interesting to see whether they're right or not, though! As I said, he seems to know what he's doing, so there's a good chance we could be seeing a 295ft Dive Coaster here!
Out of interest, did they guess 205ft or anything close to that for SV's lift hill?

I think he predicted something around 195ft, so he wasn't far off.

Now he's saying that the lift is 90-95m long which means the ride will be over 300 ft tall. He also says he saw multiple MCBR's in the ride as well.
The best thing about the blueprints however is that this ride will also have a janky and uneven prelift just like Val!
Another interesting thing to note is that the last support column is in the 90's range, whereas Valravn has about 42.

Yeah...no. I'm not even going to watch the video.
One thing that was pointed out in another discussion is that the blue prints clearly show three storage bays. With a three train operation, there is absolutely no reason to have more than one mid course brake run.
The tallest I can see this ride is about 250 feet, and if it actually is over 300 feet, I'll eat my shorts.

Three storage bays can still have 4 train operation, and what if 2 cars can fit into each of the bays?

That's not the way B&M works. Every train on every one of their rides (unless there is some obscure Beemer overseas that I'm overlooking) has its own storage bay.
Plus what is shown on the blueprint matches Valravn's storage shed:
And Griffon's:
And Sheikra's:
And Dive Coaster's:
Etc etc...

Oblivion! It has one long storage bay I believe.
Nemesis at Alton Towers; 2 trains 1 storage bay.

It all depends on how much room there is. The Manufactor will adjust accordingly.
Galactica/Air can fit all 3 trains in it's 1 long storage rail. They couldn't build a transfer track due to the listed deer wall next to the station which is why it's the only B&M flyer with 3 turntables. Also Nemesis is another example where there simply isn't enough room for a wider transfer track.
But more on topic, I very much doubt that this coaster will have more than on MCBR. And doubt it will go over 300ft. Canada doesn't have a dive coaster to my knowledge, even if they built a valravn or sheikra clone it would have some marketing power. I'm not expecting anything ground breaking here but I'd like to be proven wrong.

While I very much agree that it likely won’t be too ground breaking in terms of dive coasters this is the highest attended seasonal park in North America we’re talking about. They attract a ton of people and it’s pretty clear over the last decade or so CF is serious about investing in this park. They really need another massive people eater. So I honestly wouldn’t be that shocked if it was 300+ and had a ton of blocks to help facilitate more trains then the average dive machine.
