Milennium Force/Hyper Comparison
OK, I am trying to figure out the difference between a Hyper and a Giga. Please correct me if I am wrong here, but it looks like they are height measurements. Hyper - Steel coater above 200' Giga - Steel coater above 300' Indyguy, still learning..

Diamondback's Entrance Sign!
I love the logo and its texture, but in the picture it does not seem to fill the sign up. Might be an illusion, but it makes it feel like something is missing? Anyone else feel that way?

Diamondback Construction Thread (Updated 3-19-09)
I also worry about that as well, but do keep in mind that the hourly capacity is 1,620. If you have been able to see it testing, it appears the second train starts to move into the station before the first train is completely on the lift. Also, with no seat belts to check, that ought to help as well. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

park games
Have you ever seen anyone win that game? We passed by on numerous occasions and even some of the most muscular people couldn't win! The average score seemed to be between 70-80 points no matter who played. My father-in-law has won it before. He is not a muscle man either, he just stated you have to hit it in the right spot? I have no experience for I have expressed my feelings on the games before and will leave it at that.

Diamondback Construction Thread (Updated 3-19-09)
It does not look to me like they have placed the queue railing in yet? What do you think? I could be wrong since I found out the day I was looking at a lamp post not a building structure!

I just say my name at the top of the list for posters today, but didn't think that was possible since this is my 4th post of the day. I guess it keeps a running total over the last 24hr time period. Hum, interesting.

Maybe they are painting those eyes on the front and want coverage from the wind?

Diamondback Construction Thread (Updated 3-19-09)
Looks like a train is being pulled out of the station for some possible testing today. Sorry, I did not get a pic of it before it switched views. I am surprised they are testing in this cold, but I guess they proabbly need to "test" in the cold, for they may have to run in these temps sometime in the season.

I don't know about others, but I think we aught to change to a positive mood in here and get back to the topic? It looks like Terpy is in the lead right now with 12 posts for the day.

Right Now a Cloudy Opening Day
Yes, we are getting quite spoiled with the gas prices right now. I really hope they stay quite low through the summer. I know it slowed me down on making the 2 hr drive over last summer.

I will say though, it is fun when you hit a certain number of posts like for me 50, 100, and 200. Lot's of people comment about that all the time, but I don't intentionally post to add to my post count, it is just cool when you see it up there. I do not care however how many posts per day.

The new Beast entrance
I think you are right, it looks like a cardinal sitting on top of it or somthing that made it looks like it was part of the building..
-
The new Beast entrance
Could be a light, but the other one is black and lit. They other matches the building and does not seem lit to me? I could be wrong?

Adventure Express Discussion
Do you know how expensive that would be? Not only to enclose the entire ride, but then to do extensive themeing? Also, to change the theming "every so often" would cost a lot just in doing that! Yes, but I believe Hank was just throwing ideas out, not necessarily being practical.

The new Beast entrance
That red roof is not new. I'm looking forward to the new entrance too!!! But just look at that wood, ya its all new. Which means it was redone in some shape or form. It also has like a school bell housing or something on the new pic that the older one does not, making it seem like a new structure? EDIT: Fake doors and balcony are gone as well?
-
The new Beast entrance
Wood can be sanded and look new again as well. Can't rule that out as well, but I do a agree it looks new.

Kings Island Dreams

Adventure Express Discussion
I don't know why, but I've never noticed the Indiana Jones music. Is it played all day every day? Is in not played on lift 2?

Right Now a Cloudy Opening Day
I almost always check the forecast before making the 120 mile trip with the Cinci TV websites. In the 12 hours in advace before I go the forecast sometimers changes.... I say lets wait till we get about a day or 2 out, then we can get a better assesment of the weather situation.

Diamondback Restraints
The restraints are actually nothing like those of MF and TTD. They are called clam shells and allow a lot more freedom. Well maybe the clicks start out further than other restaints so 3 clicks will only be like 2 clicks on others?? Trying to think positive for you!
