I don't remember Goliath or Raging Bull being too loud, but I can't totally remember. Raptor is very loud and I really hope Diamondback is just as loud if not louder. KI needs more loud coasters!

Yeah it being so close to the Midway will be a huge factor. Should be flippin sweet!

I'm not a big fan of Mantis at CP, but the roar it makes is pretty darn sweet.

The Burger Patio is a great place to sit and eat at CP if you love the B&M roar. Raptor is SO LOUD coming down the hill and through the first loop. I could listen to that all day.

Sick and tired of hearing things? Do you sometimes wish you just could tune it all out? Well, introducing, Diamondback! The first of the "Loud and Proud" coaster campaign held by Kings Island. These coasters, with the help of some good ears or a simple hearing aid, can simply end your hearing! No more having to listen to things like bad news on tv, loud crowds at football stadiums, reruns of George W. Bush speaches, no, this cancels it all out! Your now in your own private calm and peace. Diamondback, if we're doing it right, it'll be the last thing you hear!

I dont know how B&M hypers sound but the inverted and standup coasters have such a mean roar to them it fits the rides so well. I still dont know how they can make everything so freaking accurate

^They sound a lot better than the Intamin rattle.

At Busch Gardens Williamsburg errrr.... excuse me Europe, when you ride on the Rhine River Cruise and you go by Apollo's Chariot and it is going through its turn around you can hear the roar of it so i am sure Diamondback will have some roar to. If only it would slither......

Given it's close proximity to Vortex, and rumors surrounding that, I half expect your last work that ended in an "s" to be "sink". Should we start that rumor up or wait a couple years? I mean it was built on a lake...

Lets see some video of this first run!

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....

This is how I heard about it.

(IM from angrybeaver) hola!

Me: heyy stranger

angrybeaver: arent you sooo happy DB tested today!

Me: wha??!!! i didn't see anything on kic about it

First I miss the placement of the last piece of track, now I miss this.

WONDERFUL.

Haha, the one day I forget to check the webcam after I get back from school, they tested it! Oh well, I look forward to watching it on the web cam tomorrow!

Pretty hilarious that they moved the webcam so people wouldn't see test runs. I knew something was up.
