the ride i miss the most is Son of Beast w/ the loop.
and kenton's cove keelboat canal, but that one is just because i never got to ride it before it was replaced with
empty garage: the ride
-
it also says that it will end with a splash into water, i thought that only two little scoops touched the water.
-
a re-tracked mean streak?
-
i guess your right i never thought of it that way.
-
^my mom still wants to argue that with me everytime we go to Kings Island, and usually i just look at her and say "so where exactly is the second lift hill hiding?"
-
i thought there were 5,280ft in a mile? so wouldn't that make it over a mile long insted of nearly a mile long?
-
when i was in 6th grade one of my friends said that the shocks on the flight deck trains were computerized so they pushed out and pulled in at only certain times. and also that last season they sped up flight deck ten miles an hour.

well the web-cam is down again
-
i wonder if they did it on purpose?
-
i'm not even getting an image to come up on the web cam, just a little x in the corner with live image written by it.
maybe if we are lucky don is filming a small video showing the lift of the final piece.

lift work should be done today.
Track work expected to be completed todayJanuary 26, 2009
Track pieces #119 and #120 were installed this morning on Diamondback, leaving the construction crew with just piece #129 left to install to complete the track work on Kings Island's new $22 million roller coaster.
The final piece of track is expected to be installed this afternoon. You can watch this momentous occasion live on the Diamondback webcam.

^i remember walking down the exit of Firehawk just to take a picture of the track that was laying at the base of the lift hill.
*big sigh* memory's

-
^but couldn't that also mean that if pushed back by snow kic would be there for the lifting of the final peice?
-
look at that beautiful blanket of snow on the almost complete Diamondback track

i was just wondering if anyone on here has been lucky enough to be looking through random roller coaster pictures and then found yourself setting in the picture somewhere?
i have found myself in two pictures, one was from some ace event at Kings Island where i was riding The Racer, and then somewhere i found a picture of me on The Beast.

yea, they even have a sign in Vortex's station saying that it isn't paramounts Kings Islands fault if something left in the station is lost or stolen, and isn't congo falls named after a paramount movie too?
-
quick question, will they put a train on the track before they make it a complete circut, or will they wait and then pull the transfer track over and slide them on there?
and yea, i know i set this question up for one of terpy's infamous "yes" answers.
-
great pictures, so glad i signed up for the texting service.
-
great view, to bad on the 31st we can't go up their.
-
did anyone read the quote for picture 27? it states that Diamondback will travel through 10 vertical loops.
The ride, which will span 5,282 feet, will reach 230 feet at its highest point, travel up to 80 mph and do 10 vertical loops, will open in April 2009. -
is it really going to take them another full week to place 11 pieces of track? being that they go on and bolt two or three track segments together before they hoist them into place?
-
^you can also see in those animations that beast canyon is gone.
