Best catch I have gotten so far.

Lets think here a bit. The water isn't going to do much to the track. All of the track will get wet sometime because of rain. Yes the splashdown track will get hit with water much more often but its just water. Its not going to cause the track to turn bad. Maybe a different color, but nothing really noticable.

Yesterday was my birthday and I loved how Don put the pictures up on the site of the train going through the splashdown on my birthday! It was a great birthday present!

^^it could rust away like King Cobra's track did.

King Cobra's track rusted away? Do they still have it on site anymore? I looks amazing the cam is freezing a bit for me.

^when Paramount had control of PKI it was back behind The Racer...you can see it from google earth or maps.live, but Cedar Fair might have done something with it

EDIT: from microsoft virtual earth

It was hauled off-site in 2006.

The King Cobra track did not rust because of the elements, it rotted because of poor quality steel and it is no longer on site. The trains were also moved to KD for replacement parts for Shockwave.

^I thought KD's stand-up was called Vortex?

There are two stand-up coasters called Vortex, neither are at Kings Dominion...

Kings Dominion actually doesn't have a Vortex named coaster...

And yes, Shockwave KD's stand-up

^oh sorry guys, I have a tendancy to mix up Carowinds & Kings Dominion

Only thing i could see happening is the paint fading faster, but you would only really notice that when it is dry, and most of us would never see it dry anyways since while it is running that area will be constantly wet! Which makes me wonder about the landscaping, mainly the grass, with the splash being as big as it is and the wind and breezes, the area around the pool is going to be extremely muddy and difficult to maintain, i would think anyways.

So is the "Diamondback is rusting" tag line going to stick like "Magnum is sinking"?

Looks like its going to 3 trains again

I would think it will get dirty and wear the paint out in that area. I'm not sure about the grass though I don't think it will get that muddy.

I hope they add the other rocks in the water just so it does not get the grass that wet and muddy. One thing to look out for is some moss growing in some areas on the track.

All 3 trains again

Sorry it's cropped all weird, but I liked the rooster tail in all the sunlight:

What is the process of getting it certified for humans to ride? Is it like an elevator inspection?

How do you post a picture?

^you have to put it on imageshack or photbucket first

Thanks!

WOOT! The webcam is finally working for me!

It only works for me at night when you cant see anything

I just got back from K.I. I had to go see this thing for myself and even though your a good distance away it still looks massive. I can't wait til April when I can see this thing up close.

Where you able to see it testing? I can't wait man I wish I lived close!

I know that some have already been posted but this Picture shown the full height of the Rooster Tails, just wanted to post it because it shows them in compare to the Lift and the Final Helix I am so excited to ride this thing on one of the outer edge seats!!

Looks like 2 of the trains have been put away after a long hard day of testing.
