Everyone close the webcam on your computer except me. That should unfreeze the webcam then I will upload pics -

I think we are all about to see that even if they did/do point the cam at DB while it starts initial testing that the number of enthusiasts that try to watch will crash the webcam. Its down for me -

Oh speaking of low res cell phone goodness today might be a good time to tryout streaming video from my phone via qik.com. If DB is testing when I'm down in Cinci today I'll post my link -

If its any consolation to those you couldn't be at their computer yesterday its that no one saw testing on the webcam because it was turned away from Diamondback. -

Yeah that is pretty unflattering pic, especially without anything to give you a size comparison. -

That interview was from last Wednesday (2/18) in case anyone is trying to get a better idea of what Don means when he says, "the next several days". -

Here is an interview with Don Helbig over at an international coaster site www.coasterforce.com Not sure there is a lot of new knowledge learned in the interview but did you know Don has ridden The Racer 11,973 times? I wasn't very familiar with Don's past but wow that is pretty impressive! -

I'm pretty sure you have not seen everything yet. I don't think there is a good picture yet becuase the trains are not finished yet. B&M delivers the trains as is but I believe it will be up to the parks Planning & Design team to ad any design to the trains. -

^^That is just perspective, the track is exactly the same size throughout the ride. -

Different style trains, improved design, could be your perspective, or maybe they are not finished yet. -

That is interesting I didn't notice that but I think you are right. Here is a pic of Behemoth to support your idea. -

If they are anything like the people I know who work out side then they probably watch the weather channel religiously. -

Here is another view of Behemoth showing clearly where the spiral staircase attaches to the MCBR and where the stairs are left hanging unattached at one end. Photo Credit -

I'd ride it, I'd ride Millennium Force I heard it was -34 with wind chill this morning and that is standing still. Imagine going 90mph! -

Probably not the pretzel loop, looks like that will be erected in the next few days. So maybe another part of manta or another unkown ride...who knows -

You can't see the webcam on the all mighty ipod? It works nicely in pocket internet explorer on my 2 year old winmo 5.0 phone, even better using skyfire. -

Did you just decide that all by yourself with no knowledge of the history and tradition of putting a pine tree at the highest point of a construction project? -

Frosty is going to be gone before we've decided on a name. I've been sky diving, cliff diving, and never been afraid of a coaster but I don't care what anyone says I think I'd be terrified to walk down from the top of that monster. Especially on a cold windy October night. -

Off topic indeed but here is a link to a thread about that over at pointbuzz.com There is quite a steady stream of supports heading to the hammer head we wish we could see what was going on back there -

In the time before they get to working on Hills 1 and 2, it looks like they are doing some new work on the hammerhead. I've already seen two different flatbeds today heading that way with gray supports.
