Will you be able to sleep tonight before riding Diamondback?!

I don't think the problem will be getting to sleep for me, anyway; it'll be the getting up at 6 am!

There really is nothing like being at Kings Island for the debut of a new coaster, particularly one of this magnitude. I'd almost liken it to the difference between being at a Spring Training baseball game compared to Game 7 of a World Series. The energy in the place is totally different and you know that it's a special day as soon as you get in the park.

I'm curious for those folks who were there at either SOB's or FOF's opening day (last comparable occasions IMO) how they feel about tomorrow in comparison. I'd say it's close, particularly in light of the fact that I feel this will be a much more enjoyable and re-rideable attraction, but the buzz around those rides was bigger if only because the amusement park world hadn't seen rides quite like that before.

For the opening of Flight of Fear, there was nothing but excitement. For the opening of Son of Beast, many of us were holding our collective breaths and saying, "Please let this be as fantastic as it looks." For the opening of this wonderful ride, I at least am thrilled to finally be able to see it coming to Kings Island!

In a word? No. I am so excited to be able to finally be able to enjoy Kings Island again, I'm having trouble concentrating on anything unrelated to KI. Not to mention, that beautiful steel masterpiece called Diamondback! When I saw Diamondback rise, never did I imagine I could be one of the first riders!

Congratulations on that, Jackson. You're an inspiration to all of us with your giving and caring spirit.

I could BARELY get to sleep last night thinking of Diamondback and what else I'm going to do tomorrow at the park. I KNOW I'm going to have a tougher time getting to sleep tonight.

Same for me, I got about 4 hours of sleep last night and I have a feeling I'll get less tonight. And we're leaving at 530 so we're gonna be at the park around 615. I'm gonna be dragging by the end of the day.

Well since I won't be able to get to the park until June 2nd or 3rd, I won't have any problems sleeping tonight! I will be excited to see and hear how everything goes though.

Haha...that's pretty funny (if not also a little sad to hear!)

yeah those are the breaks when you have a 15 month old, a three year old, work too much overtime and are married. Plus an 11 year old boy into sports upto his ears! But hey at least we are going this year, I missed the whole 2008 season.
