^Ok thanks. I haven't been on in a while and I just don't have the time to go back and read through all those pages

Did anyone notice that the lights on the lift hill are on?

When I was on a tour of the site in October there were grass seeds behind the Crypt so yes some of the area will be replanted

Ive ridden several GCIIs (Lightning Racer being my favorite) and thats exactly what WoF needs right now, Timberwolf being the only wood coaster there currently. And those luxuriously comfortable trains... And I can kinda relate to you pi_kapp_shack, its about a 5 hour drive from Pittsburgh to KI, so trips come far and few

I still believe in the possibility of B&M hyper. There were rumours that several layouts were already drawn up, but maybe thats all they are, rumours

I wouldn't always trust wiki, not always reliable, but a good place to start. Hyper is coined by the first company to break the 200ft barrier, Arrow. Other companies refer to Hypers as Mega coasters, Hyper is really like calling facial tissue kleenex. But I think the key is being over 200ft but less than 300ft and it can have an out and back, twister or combination layout. So I believe Hyper is a classification and the layout does not matter. Not true. Meisho was the first company to break the 200' barrier, not Arrow: Moonsault Scramble at 246' But Arrow was the first company to use the term "hyper"

Sorry to dig this up, but just to comment. Titan and Goliath are almost clones, with just two differences. Titan goes up higher, but the two drops (and thus, the heights/dimensions/layout) are the same following. The other difference is the "bonus helix" found on Titan, just after the airtime hill, leading into the MCBR. This adds the extra length to Titan's stats, and also those additional crushing Gs that Goliath lacked on your rides. So experience-wise, they are certainly not clones, even though their layouts are in fact nearly identical. And to add to something a bit more recent, Carowinds has jumped the bandwagon and announced the removal of their log flume, further showing how fortunate KI is to have more than one splashing water ride. Wait, does the Coca-Cola Oasis count as a perpetually splashing attraction? And for 2010 Carowinds is rumored to also get a B&M hyper... but lightning never strikes twice...

New Blog Update: http://www.kiDiamondback.com/public/latest/blog/ And Don elaborates on the hammerhead turn

Me for one, but I know who your talking about

Scroll down towards the bottom: Sounds familiar... and I think I've seen that track color before too...

^Well they might still have to add details

The bank into the third drop is complete

I think in a previous interview Don said they were trying to put the exit path next to the gift shop that way it wont get clogged

Maybe because they were using more trim. But i heard that they were supposed to be cutting back on that next year, but only time will tell...
