^ I was wondering that myself also, but I have no idea. And also in this picture, you can see the cement truck in the background. I'm guessing that the cement is going to the exit ramp.

Oh yes, the SLC's are a DEFINATE headband! Right when they go into the in-line twist, that's where it got me.

Diamondback's train arrival
I really don't think they'd place brand new coaster trains out in the snow. My guess is that they are in the maintence shop.

The 2nd helix is certainly getting more progress done since the webcam froze.

After looking at that MCBR picture and trying to find where the spiral stairs are going to go, I came up with this... Not the best set of spiral steps, but you get the drift. And I guess thats why there's little things sticking out on that support, so the stairs connect to it.

Question on "Line Jumping"
Or, we could just call in Chuck Norris?? I'm sure he'll take care of the whole line jumping situation.

What kind of objects have you lost on a ride?
I lost a phone on Millennium Force AND Top Thrill Dragster. =[ Now I have the iPhone, so I keep it nice and bundled in my pocket.

Sorry for the double post guys. But I have an idea!! You know how we were figuring out how to keep people from touching track by the Crypt/Beast area?? Well, they could put some cacti in the area surrounding the supports, so hopefully people will NOT touch the supports.

^Yes, they should have alot of cacti put in random spots. That would make it feel as if you were indeed in a desert. Gotta love Silver Bullet.

CLifford's job is indeed done. Wow, that seemed like just yesterday that we nicknamed that big red crane.

Sometimes they have the lights on.I know one day I was in line and was wondering what it looks like without the lights, and what do you know, after the MCBR, the lights were on and saw everything.

Yes, the first helix is completed. I got an email this mornign saying that the first helix and MCBR is complete. The only thing left, is the 2nd helix, and track piece #129.

Oh yes!! I agree with you on that! Everytime I go to CP, it's a ritual for me to take a couple photos of corkscrew going through the corkscrew. So just imagine me with DB.

I'm not disagreeing with you you guys one bit. I see where you're coming from. I just think that the coaster should be #1 in an animation. That's what we're excited to see, so if a trim was indeed to be placed on the bunny hop, then it should be there. Not some rocks in the splashdown area, that aren't even going to be there. But anywho, wouldn't a trim break defeat the purpose of "airtime hills"? That's the exciting pert of bunny hops!

Well if they are able to put a trim on the hill after the hammerhead, and have it on the animation, why wouldn't they put it on that hill, and have it on the animation??
-

^Wow. Just think we'll be able to stand underneath that as it roars by!
-
Diamondback Construction Thread (Updated 3-19-09)
Hmm.. A trim on the crest of a hill?? Never heard of that before, but I'm gonna say that it's just the sun hitting it in an odd way. Plus, if you look at construction pics, you can see that nothing is there. EDIT: And plus, I'm sure if it was a trim brake, it would be on the animated video.

I received an email from KI saying that there are pictures of the finished MCBR on the web. But I have yet to find them. Anyone else find them? EDIT: Nevermind, it just says construction is done for the MCBR, no pictures.
