Energylandia's Future Additions

My hunch is that if they're going for B&M, they want a product that the company is actually known for and not whatever United Parks keeps asking of them that others can produce. I think we'd also be hard pressed to see them anchor what's clearly a major expensive expansion with yet ANOTHER family coaster (but this is Energylandia after all so who knows).

A wing coaster wouldn't be ideal for them because that requires more staffing on both sides of the platform, and they already regularly staff a tremendously massive collection of rides. A surf would be really really cool, but I'm having a hard time picturing a Pipeline lookalike next to Abyssus. My money of course is on a Dive.

They can build up to 65 meters here (213 feet, no giga) but the scale right now looks pretty similar to a lot of the mid-size B&M's (Emperor, Dr Diabolical's, Rakshasa). Space is not a constraint at this park, so I wouldn't expect to see some crazy dense design like Tormenta.
 
I'll just say this; Europe as a whole does lack a big flying coaster, the kind that tries to crush your body with 4+G's. Please please please let this be a flyer, that would get me back there in a heartbeat

Harpy from Xishuangbanna Sunac Land came on sale last year. I'm not saying it's mega likely, but what if Energylandia went and bought that? It only spent five years in use after all so it'd be a decently fresh flying coaster for Energylandia.

Forgive my ignorance, but if the limit is 213 feet, how did they squeeze Hyperion in? Isn't that thing like, 250? Special permits??
 
I took some photos from a drone! :)

We have the locations of some of the footers in these images, maybe that helps to rule out some of the B&M models?
 
They scream Dive. Probably going for the tallest, steepest, largest inversion record in Europe. Wouldn't be too hard to beat given that the tallest European Dive is just 47m. So something like Tormenta wouldn't even be necessary at almost double the height.
 
I'd definitely say based on the current location of where the footers are (a rather small footprint compared to your larger out-and-back style B&Ms) and the fact that we already know this won't be any taller 65 meters, it's almost certain that this will be a dive coaster.
 
I’m just hoping at some point either 1 of 2 things happens, 1 either parks just stop buying from B&M or 2 B&M figures out this garbage issue they have going on…it seems like since covid they made this change, it started with Doctor Diabolicals cliffhanger which probably started production right after covid
