The Hammerhead Coaster

I'm making a B&M Dive Machine themed to another character I made up, the Hammerhead Shark from "Hammerhead", a film I made up. The queue will be a combination of SheiKra's queue and Manta's queue. Here is how the ride will be:

Queue:

Before you enter, you walk on a bridge over the bottom of the first drop and a lake with hammerheads. You then enter the building through the mouth of a hammerhead. The queue will be indoors. Once you enter, you enter the Hammerhead Institute, established by Hammerhead Sharks. You go through aquariums featuring different types of Hammerhead Sharks, a similar thing with Manta's queue. The queue layout will be like SheiKra's. You then enter a staircase featuring the slogan "We built this institute for peace with us hammerheads and human beings." People consider hammerheads unintelligent in reality, but in "Hammerhead, when intelligent animals and birds revolt against humans, hammerhead sharks are revealed to be intelligent all this time, saving humans. They even talk.

Pre-show:

As you walk through the queue, the leader of the hammerhead sharks tells the riders that humans are their allies now and "we hammerheads are only carnivores when it comes to fish and other marine organisms." An alarm sounds. The alarm can be seen as you walk through the stairs. The assistant hammerhead soliloquized, "The revolution has started again. This time the intelligent animals and birds are after both humans and hammerheads, boss. They infiltrated the institute." "WHAT?! It can't be! The revolution was stopped and land animals can't breathe underwater!" The leader hammerhead presses a lockdown button and yells "Commence lockdown!" The lockdown was disabled by a baboon and a crow wearing air helmets. The leader hammerhead turns to the riders and says, "You must save us and the human kind. The fate of our kind and human kind is at sake, and only you can stop the animals."

Ride:

After going through the queue, riders enter the station through a bridge over the queue. The track will be white-gray while the supports will be blue. The back rest will be dark-blue while the harnesses will be light-blue. The ride will be a floorless dive machine. To the left is another hammerhead aquarium. As you enter the vehicle, you can hear the leader hammerhead telling you safety tips. The ride leaves the station to turn around to the right just outside the building. You then enter a 220 ft. lift hill 45 degrees. The ride turns to the right again. The coaster then arrives at the top of the 220 ft. vertical drop and it holds you for 3-5 seconds and then drops you towards a lake full of hammerhead sharks under the bridge towards a new coaster element (standing 100 ft. tall) called the Hammerhead Roll. You go up and get flipped upside-down over the walkway and get flipped again and drop to the other side of the walkway, where the on-ride camera is. You then go up and head for a block brake and the second drop 150 ft. tall, 85 degrees to a tunnel, simulating the escape from sea to the land. Once you exit the tunnel, you enter a 80 ft. immelmann loop. The ride goes through a bunny hop leading to the splash down and hops over the walkway and turns right. The coaster goes through a 50 ft. cobra roll and a 270 degree helix leading to the final brakes. As you enter the exit portion of the station, an animatronic leader hammerhead thanks the riders for doing their job.

Hammerhead Gifts:

The riders enter the gift shop that shows your on-ride picture and toys of a hammerhead shark. There is also an on-ride video showing your experience of the coaster (the hanging of the first drop, the bottom of the first drop, after the hammerhead roll, the second drop, the splash down, and the final brakes).
