Diamondback Construction Thread (Updated 3-19-09)
^I havn't caught that yet on DB but I remember on Griffon they also had those nets under the final brake run all the way to the station. There were lots of lost items under the run I guess because people think it's ok to take out their personal items even when they aren't off the ride yet and they drop them.

I wish I could head up and film it for a little while but all of my teachers just love throwing out tests and projects the week before spring break. I wonder when Don will get to ride?

Six Flags Over Georgia PTR
wow Great photos! I have always been interested in this park. I too enjoy the entrances to most six flags parks. I like how Six Flags New England, Great Adventure, America, and The Great Escape all have those themed entrance streets with the buildings. I have always thought Mind Bender looked like a surprisingly good coaster. Great PTR so far. Keep it coming!

Who's bidding on the first seats on Diamondback?
^That is such great news. That is awesome that everyone has raised so much money for A Kid Again. I wish I could bid just to raise some more money but work doesn't start until April. Wow that is just awesome. $50,000!

^I think that would look really nice. Fit the Rivertown feel pretty well. I like Griffon"s really bright blue water splash but I don't think it would look as good in Rivertown. The queue is starting to take shape too. IMO The line is one of the most important parts of the attraction and I love it when it can get you pumped up and in the mood to ride.

Wow the pool is filled!?!?!?! Or is that a big no? I havn't been on all week because our school play opens tomorrow and have been at school since 9:30 everyday. Go tech crew! Does anyone mind telling me what I have missed in the past couple of days? I know they tested the red train from the pics on kiDiamondback and also the pool being filled possibly. Anything else?

Oh and also, Apollo's Chariot and Raging Bull were B&M's first Hypers so there's a little bit of understanding there on my part. But hey, B&M is still amazing no matter what.

^You are not alone. I thought Apollo's Chariot was fun but not what everyone else said it was going to be. I don't remember it much but I remember getting off of it and not being disappointed but let down form what I heard about it. I have been on Nitro and Apollo's Chariot and I liked Nitro a lot better.

I had some journey today. I went to KI to process my paperwork at about 10:45ish waited in an hour line to come up next and they tell me my parent didn't sign one of the forms. So I was like ok and took it home and got it signed and come back. The line was even longer but on my way in I was able to see the testing of Diamondback. I forget what the name of the road is but it goes right by the employee entrance and it goes down a really curvy hill but then it gets straight. Well that view is awesome because you see the first 2 hills lined up right infront of the other and I look up to see the train coasting down the first hill. It was an awesome sight. As I was walking through the parking lo I noticed that the train had stopped on the top of the lift hill which was the second time I saw this happen but I was really cold and went inside to the longer line. Well I bring up my paper that was now signed and learned that my hair is just barley too long so they can't give me a uniform or take my picture for my ID card. I checked the grooming standards online before I left but I guess it's up to them. Well at least I got to see testing!

Grr I was so excited so I got ready real quick and headed out there. I got there at about 2:15ish and stayed until 3:00 and there was no sign of testing. I had my video camera ready and all but it never tested while I was there. Oh well. It says weather permitting, maybe it's too windy?

wow I missed a lot today. I just read through all of the posts and thanks for the videos everyone! I will be up at lazer tag right by the employee entrance, too bad there will be no testing. I love the way the train flies through the mcbr. I hope the ride runs somewhat similar to how it was running today. That roar sounds so amazing and just gets me so pumped up!
