pat Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I only get to go to Kings Island once or twice a year and I was wondering which row on Diamondback will give me the most intense ride? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel_SoB_fan Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 16th not only do you get get great airtime, but also can cool off on the splashdown by turning around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTCO Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 16. This makes me miss Diamondback... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjkjkj Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Row 1 is definitely the most intense! you get the view, ejector air time, and nothing can beat it! Although row 16 comes close! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CincyMan98 Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Definitely row 16. The lift hill is the most intense I think because once the front is already going down, the last row is going really fast up the lift hill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyGuy4KI Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Keep in mind that you are assigned seats and may not get the seat you want the first few times. You can ask the ride ops for a specific row, but won't be guaranteed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast1979 Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Pfff....You 16 crazies. Yes, it's a great seat, but row 1 is incredible. Great view, great air, lots of G's on the drops. I'm missing Diamondback now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTCO Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I think it depends on your mood. Feel like being crazy and get some insane lateral's, you go for 16. Want some amazing wind and speed and the view of a lifetime, you go to 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ki Man Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Intense? Diamondback isn't an intense ride. But for 'strong' airtime, go for the front and the back. Back would be stronger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtl2013 Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 I agree. my favorite is like a 50/50. If i want the splash, and pull over the hills, the back is great. But, if i want the ejector air, and views i go for the front. I have to say its great no matter where, but the 1st and 16th are best.

Dvo Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Row 16. The first drop gives crazy airtime in the back, and it just continues after that. Not to mention you can stick your hand in the water on the splashdown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrill_Biscuit Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Row 1. I like to drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frisbeefan Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Row 16 is awesome. The first drop offers some amazing air, also the turnaround is great too in the back, very fast!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast1979 Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 I still love Diamondback because it's one of the few rides where you can get assigned to any row and still enjoy your ride. Even dead middle, Row 8, is a blast. By the way, am I the only one who enjoys the even rows so they can reach out the side? Like, the bottom of the first drop. You sit in one of the back rows of the cars, and reach out the side and it's like you're almost touching the ground. I kinda like that effect.

StalkerChick Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Row 1 is definitely the most intense! you get the view, ejector air time, and nothing can beat it! Although row 16 comes close! Lies!!! lol actually Row 2 I think is better than 1, cuz you really feel the pull in the helix and the turn around. But my vote went to row 3. It's the best inside seat. I don't know what it is about it but its got the air time, its got the pull its the only seat where i've felt a completely different ride. And its wierd cuz i dont understand it, but i'll choose 2 over 1 any day, and 14 over 16, but for an inside row, 3 everytime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beastrider97 Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 16. You just get yanked down the first hill, a TON of airtime, and if you lean a little you can get soaked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjkjkj Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Here's how it works for me 1>16>3>2>all the other rows. So essentially, 1 is the best, 16 is second best, and row 3 comes close to second, but falls in 3rd. Then row two comes 4th. Then all the other rows tie for 5th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CincyMan98 Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 16. You just get yanked down the first hill, a TON of airtime, and if you lean a little you can get soaked. Thats why I love the 16th row! When the front of the train is already going down the first drop, you get yanked down really hard and it makes it really intense! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ki Man Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 My favorites are 1, 4, 10, and 15. All totally different rides, and I can't pick which is best... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheikra_rocks Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Hey Zack! Jan likes row 1, and 2. I like rows 1, 2, 10, and 16. We both can not wait! The Diamondback DUO rides again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pillsberry123 Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 It doesn't surprise me that the votes are 50/50 between the first row and the last row. Like with any ride, the back seat feels more intense with stronger laterals and ejector air. The front seat feels faster and has "floating airtime" which I prefer to ejector. All in all I think I prefer the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIfan1980 Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 I seriously debated a null vote on this poll as I don't know how to answer the question. DB is a great ride in almost any row for different reasons. First ride of the day - row 1 wakes me up nice Looking for the best floater air - anywhere between row 4 and 12 Closing the day on a hot summer evening - a row 16 splashdown cool-off feels good Want to let my feet hang - go with the odd rows Want to reach into the turns - go with the odd rows But, if I've got to make a single choice, give me row 2 - typically a shorter wait than row 1, provides the same first drop sensations with the outer row benefits. Thank goodness I didn't have to make a choice on left or right side of the train Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
