just a quick fyi, no one has said that you have to ride it , and it is a matter of opinion, because to me it doesn't hurt.

Diamondback - From the Sky Once Again!
wow, i can't believe how much progress has been made in the way of supports lifted, and that they have the drop from the mid-course breakrun complete. i really hope don adds another web-cam.

no wooden coaster (except maybe The Beast) could ever be better than Son of Beast. Maybe if you have no nerves in your back... well, i am 200% sure that i have nerves in my back and Son of Beast is still (as of pre-Diamondback) my favorite roller coaster at Kings Island, and my favorite wooden roller coaster out of all that i have rode. It's hard to say that a coaster with such a horrid reputation for being rough is good. And before the "oh you have to sit in the right spot and brace yourself", the gp wouldn't event think of that... and coasters aren't made only for enthusiasts. to tell you the complete truth i haven't rode Son of Beast in the same spot twice with either sets of trains, and i love it just as much in one spot as i do in another.

i don't see how that would work, unless at night they had like a giant white sheet to make the lift supports more solid.

o.k. i just looked at the pictures again and the track was more blue, i just thought it was lavender because it was cloudy from it raining, and the track was parked in the shade. so, sorry.

Track
o.k. so i live forever away from Kings Island (down in grant county, kentucky), and yesterday me and my family were driving past the walfle house, when i noticed something strange, thats when i reallized that there was a 18 wheeler parked in the parking lot with 3 peices of lavenderish colored track, so could this be track going down to sea world? i do have pics on my cell phone, but i don't have a cable to download them to my computer, and i don't have internet on my phone.
