^I'm sure they will. It's be a hassle to take it back down. They spent the money to put it up, so might as well keep it there. They need to put more aerial cams up of the park.- Diamondback Construction Thread (Updated 3-19-09)
EDIT: Sorry, wrong support. It's the little ones being picked up!- Diamondback Construction Thread (Updated 3-19-09)
Look at the cable to the right! It's near that big yellow support that has been laying on the ground!!- Diamondback Construction Thread (Updated 3-19-09)

Indeed Clifford IS moving!!- Diamondback Construction Thread (Updated 3-19-09)
Maybe...*GASP*... Lift hill is going up?!?!?- Diamondback Construction Thread (Updated 3-19-09)
^Eh, yeah. I'm seeing very little movement right now. Mainly movement in the station area. I saw a truck with a lift piece drive in one of those "rare picture" shots. I don't know where it went.- Diamondback Construction Thread (Updated 3-19-09)
Ah, ok. That seems like a perfect place for it!- Diamondback Construction Thread (Updated 3-19-09)
Hmm... We'll see about that. I really hope the hill gets completed soon because i want to be able to drive by KI soon and see that massive thing! And i wonder where the pictures will be taken?? I think they should have them taken right by the splashdown. And have the camera positioned perfectly so that you can see the water in the air, in the picture.- Diamondback Construction Thread (Updated 3-19-09)
I'm not disagreeing with you one bit. I would LOVE for DB to get done before winter strikes, but in my opinion, I don't think it will be done by Thanksgiving. Weren't they supposed to be working on the lift last week?? I'm hoping they start the lift hill soon. Especially since I've seen two pieces of lift track near the splash down.- Diamondback Construction Thread (Updated 3-19-09)
All I'm going to say is, if they can work on Behemoth in the blistering Canadian weather, then King's Island has nothing to worry about.- Diamondback Construction Thread (Updated 3-19-09)
Holy crap! I didn't even realize all those supports! I hope they go up soon!!- Diamondback Construction Thread (Updated 3-19-09)
^ Oh yes!! That angle descent looks about as steep as the first hill drop. And especially if they put the crest piece up next, air time will be a key factor in this hill.- Diamondback Construction Thread (Updated 3-19-09)
Yes I do! They need to put one so we can see the Hammerhead Turn and the midway. And maybe get a faster FPS image like Carolina Cobra. Their camera switches to a new image every 2 seconds. And their coaster isn't even as amazing as DB.- Is anybody a bit nervous about riding Diamondback
If I have a blast on TTD, then I'm pretty sure that DB, will be just fine. But that drop pullout seems a bit forceful. But I'm sure MF's drop pullout is about the same force as DB's. I don't know, but we'll see in April 2009!!! If you don't know what I mean by DB's drop pullout... Where the yellow is, that's where I think ALOT of force will be pulled against you.- Diamondback Steel Work
WHoops! Good eye Coasters RZ, for some reason I have the tendancy to call the supports, footers. But he is correct about the footers. They have not all been put up yet. I think they'll put the footers up (where the 2nd helix will be) after the season is over because the construction will interfer with the walk to The Beast, unless they walk to the left of the little tree island. Hmm.. Idk. We'll see.- Diamondback Steel Work
Correct. But now they have removed the track that was behind Firehawk and put it in the splash down area. Right now they are putting the biggest yellow support up now. My theory, they are gonna put all the yellow supports up and then put the track on it. Then they are gonna start where the hammerhead turn is and meet up at the top of the lift hill. Either way, they are gonna fly through this construction.- Diamondback on Good Morning America
I wanna see the video of DB on GMA. Anywhere where I can find it??- Another box tease?
Why's that?? Has he already posted this one before??- Another box tease?
I was thinking, since The Beast had a box tease when it first opened, and Son of Beast had the same thing, and now this one does too. So maybe it has something to do with The Beast family?? I don't know. I could be totally wrong. It was just on my mind. Let me know what ya'll think.- I think I figured out the new coaster name!
Very interesting theory. But, I was looking at the sign and one of them said, "Ride Sally Ride", which is part of a song back then called, "Mustang Sally". So... I think the coaster is simply going to be called, "Mustang", Just because of that sign. Give me your opinion on my theory.- Diver-Hyper
How do you now it 80 ft?? That's how Nitro is laid out. I personally think it will be a hyper just because of the layout. Ever since October, the rumor has been that it will be a hyper, and all the sudden Mr. Spiegal says that it's going to be a dive coaster. I think he says that because of the splash down. But maybe he's just saying its a dive coaster becuase he sees that splashdown. King's Island is known for having the "first" for alot of our coasters, so I'm sticking to the rumor that we will have the first hyper coaster with a splashdown.- Diver-Hyper
Would a dive machine really go out into the woods like they show it too? Because on Griffon right after the lift, it turns to the brakes then the vertical drop. So I'm guessing this is going to to be different dive machine than Griffon and SheiKra. If at all it is a dive machine. I personally hope its just a regular hyper. Maybe one like Nitro, only bigger, more turns, more air time. With seats like Behemoth.. Also I was thinking, "floorless hyper"?? That would be great for air time.- Rollercoaster(s) rumor
Well I heard that CP is getting a wooden coaster that's near Wicked Twister. So those markers that are near Disaster Transport may be where it'll go. So may DT will go and the new wooden coaster will come?? Good theory?? - Diamondback Construction Thread (Updated 3-19-09)
