**Diving Coaster** is a [steel](/source/Steel_roller_coaster) [Dive Coaster](/source/Dive_Coaster) at [Happy Valley Shanghai](/source/Happy_Valley_Shanghai) in [Songjiang](/source/Songjiang_District), [Shanghai](/source/Shanghai), China. It was manufactured by [Bolliger & Mabillard](/source/Bolliger_%26_Mabillard) and opened on August 16, 2009.[1]

## Ride experience

The layout of the ride is identical to [SheiKra](/source/SheiKra) at [Busch Gardens Tampa Bay](/source/Busch_Gardens_Tampa_Bay).

Once riders are seated and restrained, the [train](/source/Train_(roller_coaster)) makes a right out of the [station](/source/Station_(roller_coaster)) and begins to climb the 65-metre (213 ft) [lift hill](/source/Lift_hill). Once at the top, the train makes a U-turn to the right and comes to a stop by a holding brake, right before dropping. After a few seconds, the train drops and enters an [immelmann loop](/source/Immelmann_loop). The train then enters the [mid course brake run](/source/Mid_course_brake_run), drops into a tunnel and makes a right turn, dropping into the [splashdown element](/source/Splashdown_element). Riders then go through a couple turns and dips and enter the final [brake run](/source/Brake_run).[1][2]
