November 5, 200817 yr Looking at the second picture on the new pictures uploads page, it shows a building being demolished. Was this the Red Beards Building? Trying to look at the Ariel photos from the tower, it looks like the only possibility. And if it was, where will they move or will they have at all next year during HH Red Beards Revenge? The peanut wants to know!
November 5, 200817 yr That would be the smokehouse/grill building that was attached to Columbia Palace/Wings Diner, just to the right of the building where Redbeard's was.
November 5, 200817 yr yes that is Red Beards building. It'll prolly have a new home next year. *shrug*
November 5, 200817 yr The building that hamoperator is referring to in this picture is not Redbeard's. Redbeard's did not come that close to that corner of Wings. From left to right there's Redbeard's, then an employee gate, then the smokehouse/grill building, then Wings Diner. I'm not saying Redbeard's isn't gone, I don't know if it is or not. But the building in the picture is the smokehouse/grill building. EDIT: Just saw the webcam, it looks like Redbeard's is gone too.
November 5, 200817 yr Word from under the illustrious Black Hat is that the Red Beard's building is in fact gone now...
November 5, 200817 yr And according to the Diamondback blog, the former location of that building will be the main queue area for Diamondback.
November 6, 200817 yr Author And according to the Diamondback blog, the former location of that building will be the main queue area for Diamondback. looking at the construction of Diamond Back, I would have thought the main area or loading area would be on the opposite side (where corn stalkers were in 2007; A large structure is being constructed which looks like walk up and turn style area? I'm most likely wrong, but thats what it looks like.
November 6, 200817 yr Yep, you'll enter where the Red Beard's building once stood and exit through the old "Photos in Minutes" building, which will be converted into a gift shop.
November 6, 200817 yr I assume this queue area is going to be rather large. to prevent any long lines from extending out into the midway (Cough-Vortex-Cough).
November 6, 200817 yr I assume this queue area is going to be rather large. to prevent any long lines from extending out into the midway (Cough-Vortex-Cough). Well, Vortex's entrance is hard enough to find anyway...
November 6, 200817 yr Well, according to the theoretical capacity numbers for Diamondback, it is projected to be the highest capacity coaster in the park...
November 6, 200817 yr ...which is a very good thing, as it will almost certainly draw the most riders at Kings Island for many years to come....

I believe the large metal structure you're referring to is the maintenance/storage track area where the trains will sleep at night and during slow days (yeah right, slow days) and where they will receive maintenance work.
November 7, 200817 yr Yep, you'll enter where the Red Beard's building once stood and exit through the old "Photos in Minutes" building, which will be converted into a gift shop. Wow. I can't wait to see this.
November 7, 200817 yr ^You think you're so smart. Look, I'm crushing your head. WOW! That was unessary.
November 7, 200817 yr Author ^ It's usually referred to as, transfer track. ^You think you're so smart. Look, I'm crushing your head. OK boys, now shake hands and make up....This is a violence free blog area......LOL
November 7, 200817 yr ^ WOW! What is wrong with that kid? Sorry that I did absolutly nothing wrong and insulting... Makes me wonder....

I never forget where to find Vortex. you know i would have agreed with your theory two years ago "if you have ridden it once you won't forget where the entrance is", but i have come to find out i always forget where the entrance to cedar creek mine ride is.
