It's gonna look sweet when the lift hill goes up.

I think the drop will look much nicer.

I hope on the other hand they theme the splash down area like in the video.

Im not trying to sound anti-CF but in Maverick's teaser videos, the lake under the horseshoe roll looked alot like the splashdown in DB's teaser video. And in real life, the lake under Maverick's horseshoe roll isn't like in the video. So i wouldn't get too excited for the splashdown looking how it did in the video, but hopefully it'll have an area where viewers can get soaked by the "rooster tail!"

Yes, Behemoth opened on time. Cedar Fair rides typically do...Maverick was an exception.

And that was because it pulled to many G's on the Heartline Roll, forcing it to be removed and replaced. Correct?

This afternoon

<And with this post, and after over 5 years, I am officially a "KIC Enthusiast"...even though i've felt like one since day one!

^Me likey.

Writing carefully:

The park said the coaster opened late in order to resolve issues of rider comfort.

Terpy, carefully

They basically installed the bottom of the drop out of the MCB's.

What do you mean by basically, basically?

Terpy, who is basically driven nuts by the basically needless use of basically, you know?

Terpy,

Rofl. I will make you wait! If I have to wait you will to!

^^LOL

I just realized, that's the first hill!!!

Unless I missed it, no one has posted that Mr. Helbig posted a new blog on the Diamondback website.

You're right. Nothing we don't already know, but it's there.

Boddah beat me to it I was about to say they started the lift

Those are the best pictures I've seen from Don.

Great job!!

Its looking good!

2 observations about the new pictures. First the lift looks awesome and very steep. Im still sticking with 45 degrees. Second, the drop out of MCB looks like is going down in the ravine, because the track on hill 7 dissappears in to the ravine. That is great seeing how they are using the terrain.

3 things:

1. Lift looks AWESOME! I hope they continue lift construction

2. darn, they switched the catwalks!

3. What is the thing on the left side of the lift for? There's one just like it on Behemoth....

I think so too! Don did an excellent job on the pictures!

Yeah, it does look pretty steep.. Maybe the steepest B&M hyper lift (excluding dive machines.) And that drop out of the MCB's looks amazing! It just dissapears into the ravine!

They are nets, and yeah i remember seeing in the video that the catwalk was on the right; not the nets...

Its so stuff falling out of pepoles pockets are hitting the quest below.

Don't everybody scold me at once if this is an ignorant question, but when did they start working on the lift hill?

I didn't think they worked on Fridays?

They did the whole lift hill section yesterday. It was off camera view so we couldn't see it being erected. But we saw the white crane.

Station Stuff? Who knows?

I think they are digging for the electrical. That is what it looks like. I can't wait to ride this thing its going to be great! The hill looks sweet!

I was supposed to visit the park today, but now I can't go. Can anyone post some of their most recent pics of DB?

That's so sad...
