So is an inversion a hill as well? No, that's an inversion. Not a hill.

A hill is when you go up, then come back down. So yes, the hammerhead IS a hill/drop.

My favorite track piece is the crown of the 2nd hill, because that screams air time right there. We shall call it, Adam's Crown.

They are putting the crown of the 5th hill on now. EDIT: And Casper is by the 2nd helix.

I know that. But he's saying that the 5th hill rise and drop is completed. Just the crown of it needs to be done. But if you look closely at the "drop" of the 5th hill, it's actually the rise of the 3rd hill. It blends in.

Beast1979, that's actually the rise of the 4th hill. If you look closely.

^I dont know if the hammerhead is considered a hill. Or is it?? But yeah, I did not realize that the drop of the 5th hill was there. EDIT: Beast1979, that's actually the rise of the 4th hill. If you look closely.

^True. I guess it's a "fact", that DB is the only hyper mega with a splashdown. Sound a little better??

Sorry for the double post: But I have a quick question. Is KI open to where my mom and I can go up there and get my 2009 Platinum Pass processed?? Or do I have to wait until April??

Diamondback Construction Thread (Updated 3-19-09)
If you check out the webcam pic that Beast1979 put up of the hammerhead, you can see that the 3rd hill drop doesn't quite reach the bottom to the ground. So that would make the coaster able to still do the hammerhead at that same height as the 3rd hill. Because it doesn't need anymore speed to reach that hammerhead turn. But as you come out of the hammerhead, the track will reach the ground because it's gotta get good air time for the 4th hill. Get what I'm saying??

Seaworld Orlando Raises Tickets by $5 to $74.95
Wow! It's a good thing I won my tickets to Seaworld Orlando for next year. I don't know if I would have paid that price just for 3 coasters.

And KI is the ONLY park in the world to have both, a hyper woodie(SOB) AND a hyper steel(DB). I think that was mentioned before, but for new members, there you go.

They are actually STILL putting up new supports by the last helix. I thought they would wait until they pour the black top down first.
