Diamondback Construction Thread (Updated 3-19-09)
If it looks anything like the splashdown area did in the renderings I will be very surprised. That are really looked like it had a great feel to it. Well if it doesn't turn out to look exactly like the renderings, I guess we will just have to ride DB and like it....

Future Expansion
^I used to love that when I was a kid. After riding Viking Fury and running around back to do it again and watching that little show. Childhood memories.

Sounds like an excellent idea. I am glad we will be able to get some insight from Don Helbig and Bill Mefford. Can't wait!

You might be a KI addict if you...
You might be a KI addict if on the way to Gatlinburg for Spring Break and when your parents ask which way is better to get to the highway you tell them the way that goes by Kings Island is the best and when you pass you take pictures if the park and DB testing.

I love how the water just shoots up so fast when the train flys in but then it floats down so nice. Great video despite the quality bu a good look at the area.

Although Diamondback's auction is going great, I feel kinda sorry for Make-A-Wish which Carowinds new coaster, Carolina Cobra, is supporting. http://ncrideforwishes.kintera.org/faf/hom...p?ievent=307160 Doesn't look like the new coaster is getting much action. Not surprising seeing that it is only a relocated Boomerang with new trains. However the new trains do look pretty cool.

Don said at the offseason blues tour that the queue would likely be similar to BLSC, Firehawk, or Delirium. I was hoping that DB would get something similar to Maverick, but it appears not. That's exactly how I visioned it to be. With the old country feel to it. Oh well I think a Delirium sun protector will do the job too and look kinda cool if it's the same colors as the coaster. EDIT: SPLASH!

Close call or no need to worry
Sorry,had to edit. Ohh ok. I have never had that happen to me. However I know when ever I would have to use the foot pedal to release one person's restraint in a car on SOB everyone else would start yelling at me. It gets kinda annoying but I can understand why they would be worried at first.

....Huh?

^Hmm I didn't know that. Kings Island is pretty good with loose articles. At SFNE yo cannot take anything along with you while you ride unless it's in your pockets. I remember someone telling a story how a ride attendant told a couple that they could not wear their fanny packs on S:ROS. And on SOB they allow you to bring your backpack on with you as long as it does not get in the way of the restraint.

But does the same thing happen at Disneyland? What about SFMM or Knotts... Goofy has to be a Smart Aleck because his first name is Alec.

Looks like some more nighttime testing!

^I agree. There's something inside me that wishes we didn't have this webcam and all of these pictures. Don't get me wrong I love being able to watch all of the progress but I kinda wish it could all be a surprise. Oh well, that's the way the cookie crumbles.

I am loving all of this! Thank you so much! I am loving this photo. Reminds me Disney's new commercials.

Watching the webcam is beginning to get pretty exciting. It shows a train going up the lift and the same time another train is flying over the final bunny hills. The entrance and queue is finally starting to take shape. 31 days!

^Yeah. Frontierland, when I first heard it I thought of my favorite place in the whole world, Frontierland in the Magic Kingdom of Walt Disney World.

^I noticed that as well. I would love some trees back there though just like the feeling The Beast has.

Was It Something I Said?
Yes video is gone for my own personal reasons. No I was not told to take it off, I just think it was the right thing to do. Sorry if anything I did effected this "crash".
