well if that is the case make sure the ugly person of your group is on the right!

Haha...that's pretty funny (if not also a little sad to hear!) yeah those are the breaks when you have a 15 month old, a three year old, work too much overtime and are married. Plus an 11 year old boy into sports upto his ears! But hey at least we are going this year, I missed the whole 2008 season.

And God smiled and saw it was good, so He granted sunny skies and beautiful weather for the Grand Opening of The Diamondback!

Does anyone remember when the used to spray water up on the King Cobra, i remember it the first few times i saw it run but then i remember the last time i did get to ride it there was no spray to be found.

okay so they are counting that little slope in the break run at the end. Thanks for the help. I think it should be 9 drops and a break SLOPE, to call 10 drops on this is for me to call "shenanigans"

Can someone help me out with this, they keep saying 10 vertical drops, but i only count 9 where is the tenth. I count the first three hills, the drop after the hammerhead, the hill before the helix, the drop after the helix, the two bunny hops or hills, and the splashdown. Please don't tell me they are counting the little drop where the break run is at the end of the ride, it looks like there is a slight drop before the turn around to the station house. Anyone that counts ten please tell me where i am missing.

I love where the guy is trying to keep the girls hand up in the air going over the hill! Good stuff!

Wow that video shows a TON of air time!

always hands up!

I don't think the nice weather is what will be attracting most people, that new 230 foot steel roller coaster may have something to do with it. Personally, I already processed my past and plan to ride the Crypt first. That's a great ride! so umm Gordy how does one process their past? Just kidding i couldn't resist.

I don't know i kind of have a feeling with the weather and the new ride it is going to be CRAZY crowed tomorrow

Man it is times like this i miss working at the radio station we got to go and preview SOB when it was finished! And boo i can't get the webcam up this morning!

that is some great video and I can't wait to go over that second hill!

oh yeah where is close to indy? I live about 30 mins east

Never ever have i worn anything but tennis shoes to the park i use to always wear a ball cap until one time on Vortex it blew off, but the nice guy with quick hand two seats back caught it and returned it to me after the ride!

The King Cobra was one of my favorite stand-ups too. Too bad i didn't ride it until 1987 I should of logged a lot more rides on it than I did.

Is there any video from the FOX19 ride?

Well since I won't be able to get to the park until June 2nd or 3rd, I won't have any problems sleeping tonight! I will be excited to see and hear how everything goes though.

1987- I was 12 years old and rode The Vortex the year it opened!
