Yeah the train really did fly, esp going into the brake run. Also remember to watch channel 12. news is on now. I did see a ch 12 van pull in when I did.

Sorry camera phones really do suck at long distance!

Well here is the video I took with my cell phone. Remember it is taken with a cell phone across the lot. I also have some pics I'm going through, but so far they really didn't turn out. Diamondback Test run

Heading home to nky. I will post what i have. Remember the video and pics are from a cell

Can't post till i get to a computer. It just went for the 7th time

They ran it 3 times so far. I have some video from my phone. Just went up again

Channel 12 just pulled in

Channel 12 just pulled in

I'm in the parking lot on my cell. Nothing yet

Remember when it was a big deal that you could have a double sided floppy? lol

Hey just wanted to let you guys know that I am trying to get my hands on some construction photos of the Eiffel Tower.(yes Terpy, the one at KI. lol) My grandfather worked for the company (Evers Welding) that helped build it. I am trying to contact Ray Evers about obtaining any of the construction photos.

Straight from the man's mouth: Diamondback Blog

Lets see some video of this first run!

Yes today would be a great day for a test run!

This week would be good for testing. Supposed to be in the 50's this week.

Track work done on The Beast for this year? Listen to 29:00 to 29:13. I'm wondering maybe some braking removed? It would be nice.

I do believe it's Smurfberry.

That was all those shows! Sally Jessie, Montel, Maury, Ricki, Jerry, and that other blond lady? .... Oh yeah Jenny Jones.

Ok this has to be one of the 1st years for pics. This is from 1985 I believe. The picture is of my Grandma(RIP Grandma, She left this world in Oct.) and I.

So sue me! I was estimating. I was trying to make the point that there was a time when KI didn't get a new ride every year.

I remember when you got a new ride every 5 years or so. I would just be happy with overall improvements to the park, or some small flats than a new big ride.

I remember the days when you never were confused where the entrance was, because the line always past the lake. lol!

Cool I can still get the tour of Diamondback even though I didn't make it. I did buy 4 tickets.

Bring back the Rib pit, and i would like them to bring old Coney back, bring back the landscaped trees that ran down the middle. You call it Coney Mall, well make it look like Coney Mall. I agree on the food, some better quality and a sit down place to eat. i remember when I was younger the whole family would meet at the LaRosas' on INT St. and eat by the fountains. We need more places in the park to bring the family together. Bring in more rides that mom and dad, or grandma and grandpa can ride with the kids, like a themed boat ride like the old Enchanted Voyage or Smurf ride.
