We are all just so excited. Im sorry. I know your a busy guy with lots of emails from enthusiast. I apologize. Stephanie We'll be switching the webcam back to Diamondback when we begin getting the ride ready for testing today. Don -----Original Message----- From the big man himself... Another email he sent me just a few moments ago. He is on the ball today about emails.

Hey Don, I know you are probably getting alot of emails about this but... why in the world are you keeping us from Diamond back. We are all so ready to see those trains moving. Please please please move them back. I hope you update pictures soon. We all are needing something new from Diamond back!! in response to my email..... Stephanie, We're not keeping anyone from Diamondback. Testing for the day has not begun. So in all due time I have a feeling my friends.

couldn't have said it better if I tried....

You beat me to it smurf. You know there is something going on...... just gotta be.

Who cares about the bad resolution. A picture is a picture. I would post it just to give everyone a sight of what it looks like So... pretty please post it

So no one got a picture or anything of this happening???? Man that sucks..

Oh I know.... I am just very sad. I cant belive I was watching it so close than I leave the house and bam..... the first train runs..... Kitten needs a tissue and a hug...LOL

I cant say how long I am on here.... I dont have much other stuff to do. I have been on leave from work due to surgery. I am on here all the time!! Gotta love the KIC!!!!

Ok ok ok....OK....... I left the house at 5 and I had not heard anything about the trains running..... are you guys serious... they really ran the trains and I missed it! I had been watching the cam close all day. Last I had looked before I left it was pouring down the rain. I hope someone got pictures of this or the website updates there pictures! Just tell me you all are playing a joke.... Kitten, very very sad....

That is a cool idea. I realize the cams are mounted wrong for this, but how about one pointing at the parking lot to see how full it is before coming. HA! I think different web cam views are a great idea, one of the parking lot would be great. Be kinda nice to see how busy it is before you get there.

Stephanie, We are not testing Diamondback, as the rumor mill suggests, because of the webcam angles today. We're doing a webcam test to see what angles in the park we can showcase this summer. Don I did email him, There were other subjects I had needed to ask him about but did bring up the webcams. I edited my email but this is the part about testing and cams.

it's raining like crazy now... i dont think anything will be happening any time soon!

Im sure he is dealing with alot right now. They may be doing this for a reason and maybe not. You know somethings are worth waiting for. And while waiting we have more great and different views of the park. Be patent my friends If there is something going on we will find out in due time. In the mean time sit back and enjoy the views of the park!

"ha ha ha ha.... Eat your heart out Allan H. !!!!!! ha ha ha"

It is where one side of the exit comes too.... thats all I can figure out.

Ah our luck the first train is out on the track and about to go up the lift....LOL <<< this is post 200!! Im a junky.. ha ha ha

I love these pictures. construction photo. It's nice to see something different on the webcams

You beat me to it. I was just about to say that. I love the different views now.

So please tell me then dear, how to they react to such a thing happening? How do they recover the trains? Thanks in advance, Kitten who sits and wonders.......

You know what you may not have been there but thats pretty cool. Atleast the ones that were there can see what a radar looked like when they were there.... Im sure they are wet and cold as of right now... lol
