What would you like changed to KI in the next five years?
I've got it. GCII woodie that starts where King Cobra used to be that twists its way out and around behind AE, or a GCII coaster in Rivertown behind the Train Station, no clearing of trees please.

KI Should Get This Ride!
^^ That might be too much pressure to put on them.

Show off your landscape Diamondback pics.
This picture is extremely eerie. It is really cool with the dark clouds...

^^ I believe I heard the bottom of the second drop. However, I was wrong once... that was a very disappointing day.

If anyone else was wondering, the eyes have been placed on the trains. You can see them in the videos that have been posted on here.

Ha. Ha. Ha. I can't help but laugh when I see all the people riding it for the first time and how enjoyable it looks! The splashdown looks incredible!

Diamondback POV
So relating to a Diamondback POV, there is one already filmed and footage from the first drop to the fourth drop can be seen at channel 12. There's a link posted in the construction thread to the video.

Going over the second hill looks to have at least 6 seconds of airtime judging by the way the camera lifts with the train. Just amazing... ^ If you look when they are interviewing Mr. Helbig you can see what it says.

^ I have ridden most of those rides minus El Toro and have fit comfortably enough to fully enjoy the ride. Being 6'4" and 200 lbs I know I don't speak for everyone on the width side but my father is a bit bigger around the lapbar area and has been able to ride TTD without problem the past 4 years.

I guess I can post my question now without it being a double post. Which part of my previous comment do you disagree with? The fit or the clearance?

^AWWW Man.... I hate when my much taller neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Swifter get privileges for being taller and I don't. - Your (quite saddened) Broom EDIT: Terp, which part of my comment do you disagree with? The fit or the clearance?

Diamondback Construction Thread (Updated 3-19-09)
I was wondering if I will fit... My dimensions are 4 feet tall, and 3 inches around. Are these seats going to be accommodating to me? -Your Broom Honestly, I'm pretty sure most people will fit on this ride. B&M are usually quite accommodating to most people. Usually these companies try to fit 99% of people on the ride. When dealing with clearance envelopes, this is the case as well.

Former Hard Rock Park has a new name
While the name Freestyle Music Park is atrocious, I guess the Freestyle part is now somewhat explained. Freestyle like Six Flags or the old Paramount Parks is just a company name.(or an attempt at one. This Freestyle company is just now trying to form a chain) That being said, most of the Paramount and Six flags parks went/go by there name minus the prefix, AKA Magic mountain, Kings Island, Great Adventure... etc. These names are actually catchy. If this park were to go by its prefixless name, it would still be Music Park. Music Park, let that sink in. Doesn't that make you think of joyful things and a desirable location just like Kings Island or Magic Mountain?

Interactive how? The only parts of the ride "near" the station are the Splashdown and lift which the Queue line runs right up against. The only complaint I have about the queue line is that the coverings are exactly like Firehawk and don't provide shade for the entire line they cover. I know they are aesthetically more appealing but I think they should be going with functionality over appearance.

Kings island bring a friend days
^ Now I know which days to stay away from KI Last "Bring a Friend" day I went to I had to wait 1.5 hours for Top Gun and 2 hours for The Beast. Also a 30 minute wait for pizza at LaRosa's. It was a little to crazy for me.

Whats the tallest roller coaster youve ridden
TTD, Sadly the launch doesn't do much for me anymore. When I first rode it, it was practically a religious experience, but now it doesn't seem as forceful. No complaints here though, it is still good for obtaining a smile.

Are you addicted?....
If I purchase any Ice cream product at the park, it is either banana split dippin dots or a root beer float in Action Zone

Gravel Yes, waiting to/already ridden more than likely landscaping just my opinion

What's not right about it? I would imagine the workers have completed the ride and now are enjoying the fruits of their labor. EDIT: Probably park Management as well.

I believe I saw some real humans riding the ride currently

Diamondback's Entrance Sign!
The sign just looks out of proportion to me. I think the entrance could have been really cool if they used the snake's mouth as the opening with the fangs on either side. I think that would have been appropriate for a ride of this magnitude and for what it has done for the park.
