My guess would be the lift hill.

Its a warm day at Winterfest today!

There seems to be a Banshee in the old Dinosaurs Alive area!

It appears they are moving more supports this morning.

Same. My first Racer ride was on June 6, 2008. Since that first ride, I have rode it a total of 259 times. The Racer will always be my favorite ride at Kings Island and I will keep on riding it until further notice. Also, something interesting I almost forgot to mention. The most times I rode Racer at once is 26 times in a row.

Oh yeah thats right. And I totally agree Racer needs its original colors back.

Yeah I agree. A lot of things in the park could use a repaint, including the Tower.

It took me awhile to find this, but here is a picture of the crane used to build the lift hill for Diamondback from November 2008. Even though the crane for Diamondback is going to be smaller than the one that will be used to build Orion, I think this gives a perfect idea of what kind of crane(s) will be needed to complete the coaster.

Oh ok. Also, the yellow crane is moving to take supports off the truck.

Idk if this was mentioned, but the transfer track has been rolled over to the rest of the track.

I don't think the will assemble the brake run before the lift hill because if you look where a lot of the pieces are, they are near or next to the brake run. I wouldn't be surprised if they assemble the lift hill before the brake run.

I think it is. They out the eyes on the 265ft level instead of the 275ft level. So we will have a better view.

Probably after the assemble the .......brake.....WAIT! Notice how all the pieces are pretty much where the brake run is; Maybe they will start on the lift hill soon!

I'm pretty sure they used the white crane moved the trasnfer track into place if I'm not mistaken.

Sorry for the double post, but there is a truck bringing in another support piece.

YES!!!! Yes I have, and its not too bad. (not as bad a Vortex lmao)

It appears they have assembled part of the turn around!

I honestly think Kings Island should acquire Python and add it to the park as a new Bavarian Beetle.

I think a decent idea for the train during WinterFest is to literally put lights the whole course of the track. For example, they could string lights on trees and bushes, on the parts of Diamondback that interact with the train, the rails of the bridge, Fort Coney, etc. As for the 12 Days of Christmas, I agree with @brent, @BoddaH1994, and @standbyme. It would work really well with the Antique Cars (assuming they will be open). Im not saying that the park should NOT use the train, it could just use a theme update for WinterFest. Even with the 12 Days of Christmas, the train during Winterfest is usually at full rides even with both engines running (or at least the times I've been there). And look at the benefits of the trains running. It's a ride open at WinterFest, it's a nice way to relax for a little bit after walking around the park, if it snows the scenery can be AWESOME, etc. So, all the train needs is a little retheming for WinterFest and the train could become one of the biggest attractions at WinterFest.

I believe there was an attraction for Haunt that involved the train "breaking down" at the platform on the way to the waterpark. From there, guests would walk back to the main path using a combination of Whitewater Canyon' s waterway and cue lines. I believe the name for that was something to do with Sleep Hollow; like the Sleepy Hollow Express or something like that.

@SonofBaconator

I wonder if Kings Island already has one of those for Diamondback?

My question is: since the station piece and transfer piece is up, what part of the ride will they begin putting together next?
