SonofBeast07

the brake is also evident in the simulation

Son of Beast! of course. last year, rode it in the front seat, smoother than Flight of Fear! (i got really lucky that time) and well other times... well you know

based on the number of groups on facebook i'd have to say Son of Beast w/ loop circa 2004 would be the ride most missed

ya, i think i'll bring and wear a straightjacket to the event

oooppps,.... i spoke to soon

finally the webcam seems to be moving.... slowly, but still moving

i've been sitting on the page for about an hour

don't worry guys "The final piece of track is expected to be installed this afternoon. You can watch this MOMENTOUS occasion live on the Diamondback webcam." ...... ya.... i hope there is video

here is the wikipedia page on it "The ability to sense infrared thermal radiation evolved independently in several different families of snakes. Essentially, it allows these animals to “see” radiant heat at wavelengths between 5 and 30 μm to a degree of accuracy such that a blind rattlesnake can target vulnerable body parts of the prey at which it strikes.[1] It was previously thought that the organs evolved primarily as prey detectors, but recent evidence suggests that it may be used in thermoregulation and predator detection, making it a more general-purpose sensory organ than was supposed.[2][3]"

What??? What is this? Please explain! Infrared detectors? huh? snakes can detect the heat of other animals i believe via infrared in pits on their head (ex. the pit viper).... so this is an allusion to the heat seeking Diamondback!

i drove by today and it is soo soo soo much more massive in person. i took some decent pictures from the road and will upload them when i can get back to my camera dock.

sweet! only two more helix's to go

ugh, i'd wish they'd re-track The Beast.... they may as well call it "trim break the ride"... shame.... maybe that could be in the budget next year after Diamondback has stopped drawing major construction money.

coaster cats?

ugh, i'm in the wrong engineering

i understand why they are on the station, but there is no concrete on the tracks, so why are they needed?

some good views from the webcam today the station is coming along well... but what are those tarp like things hanging off of the track, not the blue ones in the station, but the white ones on the track?

i figured that side would be the exit

maybe they are painting or maybe just using the tarp to keep the wind off of them when they are working? someone give us some insight

i think red lights on the lift hill would be sweet

i guess a lot of stuff has been happening, just anxious to see that second hill go up

nothing has happened in like a week other than slow progress on the station

sweet view

it seems like another piece is going up but clifford is looking the other way?!?!?
