Maintenance staircase

Just me, but it seems like they are digging a rather big hole for it to be fence work.

My those lights are bright you are able to see most of the second hill with them on! I have a feeling those are definitely permanent. ^ No he has not.

I see lots of movement in the storage track area. trains maybe?

Well it appears that the fence between the midway and the splashdown is gone and they are putting up something between the midway the drop into the splashdown. I may be wrong though because it's kinda hard to see. Actually after looking at it a little longer it does appear that smurf is correct in his assumption.

I have a question. Is the storage track put in place yet? Because in this photo it looks like only a small end piece of each storage track that is in place. But in this photo of Nitro this appears to be the only part of the storage track that is needed. Thanks

^ I agree too smurf.

(post also deleted my poster) ^ *pinch* nope its real!

Great photos! Thanks Ryan.

I have yet to loose anything on a coaster, but a group of my friends and I had just gotten off Millennium Force's unloading platform when my one friend took his glasses out of his pocket and noticed that one of the lenses was gone. We spent 20 or so minutes looking for it and finally found it laying under the station in the gravel next to a support. A ride op was then able to retrieve it for us.

That seems like the only logical 10th drop because all the other drops are easily seen.

Beast you beat me to it! I was thinking the same exact thing when i saw the roof trusses.

Awesome idea! just joined.

^Not very. You could have two different tabs for the two webcams. Therefore you could change between the two cams not have it do it for you. CP has two (was three) webcams and thats how they do it.

^ Because the wasps stole it!

Now there's an adrenaline rush!

I can't seem to find the picture of the blueprints/concept drawing, but I know that someone had it on this thread. Yes the picture did show that the station should look relatively like Silver Bullet's.

Oops...lol Ah...I see what you are saying. Looking at the drop again it probably is only 12' and not 15' off of the ground.

Yes that is lower, but as mentioned before Beast is more in the woods then Diamondback and has never had a problem with deers so I personally would not worry about any deer coming close to Diamondback. So we can all sit back, hold on (or not), and enjoy the amazing coaster that will be Diamondback in 2009.

^No, no, no that would be SOB. See the loop there? cisco227 who just had to....

Mine would have to be Double Loop at GL. It wasn't a great coaster, I know, but it was the first coaster i got the courage to upside down on. I rode it 10 times that day and I sure felt like I had ridden it that much afterward. I left the park wanting to ride it again, but wasn't able to go back, and the next year GL was closed.

^ Thats more accurate then my "measurements." lol From the KI website Maximum Height: 230' Length of First Drop: 215' Which would mean that part right there should be 15' off the ground.

Not saying that your wrong, but I was looking at Crypt's queue in the background and I believe the track could easily be 12 ft off the ground. Because I am looking at the height of the queue handrails, then adding on about a half an inch for a 6ft tall person, than doubling it. EDIT: and I had totally forgot about The Beast when I posted before.

Thats a good question. It probably could happen, but i doubt it would because something (like the train or the roar from the track) would scare it off first.

Even wildlife likes watching DB's hill be completed.
