What was your favorite element on Diamondback?

Featured Replies

I thought about making this exact same hill but it looks like you beat me to it. :P

Top 3 for me would be:

1. Second Hill

2. Splashdown

3. Train Design

Man, what a tough choice. I love the entire thing, start to finish, but I guess if I had to choose one it would be the Second Hill. In the back you really fly over that and the airtime is wicked, then the second drop is surprisingly huge and your thinking "What? Second drops aren't like this!"

Good times, good times.

For me it was the first drop, because it looked nothing like the animiations, and felt like it was going back under the peak! Perfect, sheer terror! Loved every minute of it!

^^^ I agree. The first drop seemed like it would never end and took me completely by surprise. Also, the hill coming out of the hammerhead was really an airtime surprise.

My favorite elements were in this order:

1. 2nd Hill (SO MUCH AIRTIME! :wub:)

2. Hammerhead turn (The Light G's made this element)

3. Splashdown (I loved getting misted by it)

4. Helix before MCBR (The speed through here is so amazing)

5. Helix before splashdown (A pretty cool and weird helix)

In the following order, they are:

1. Second Drop (So much air and speed).

2. First Drop (So much air and spped. Especially the back seat, you get yanked over the top and so much speed B) )!

3. Splashdown (Looks really cool and it cools you down if you're in the back :D ).

4. Train Design (I love how there are no seats in front of you. Also, the seats are really comfy :) ).

5. The helix before the MCBR (Nice speed and forces).

I do have one complaint, though. I aboslutely HATE where the on-ride photos are taken. All three of my photos looked really bad, so

I didn't buy one. I REALLY wanted one, though. :(:angry:

I loved it all. I was truly amazed by the insane burst of air on the second hill, though. Threw me right out of my seat. :wub:

To pick one, I picked the second hill, but the third hill almost ties it. They're both really good, really amazing hills.

For me the second hill, the amount of floating you get is just unreal. Almost feels like Millennium Force's 3rd hill.

I've been saying this since last year as Behemoth's camera placement was is in a similar spot, but D-back's is better, if you can imagine that!!

And which is why I was so happy when I heard the early rumors of bottom of the 2nd drop being the photo spot. But oh well, probably for the better to prevent being tempted to buy them if the photo will most likely stink, but I still want to get a keychain if I do get a good pic! :D

where is the camera located?

I'm guess that the "Rock & Roll" fingers weren't held up for the entire ride.

A small bit of posing maybe? :D

it is right after the hill going into the first helix. it is at the bottom of the helix as you go into it..

I ♥'d the third hill most. The back seat going down the first drop is amazing, pure floater the whole way down!

I'm a Third and Fourth hill fan. I just love the intensity and airtime you still have that much into the ride. It was hard to choose seeing that the whole coaster is absolutely amazing.

i voted for second drop, but it was almost a tie with the hammerhead, i love going through that looking down the supports.

I voted First Drop. Nothing is better than that drop in the back seat. I rode it 2x opening day and both were back seat. Best floater air ever! The drop out of the MCBR, at least in the back, comes a close second.

Oh, and I remember not so long ago, someone saying that you cannot get wet on DB. Well, anyone who's ridden in the back knows that at that rate of speed and the perfect wind conditions, you WILL get soaked...trust me. ;)
