Diamondback Construction Thread (Updated 3-19-09)

Featured Replies

I'm surprised no one else has posted today about the amount of work that's been done!?! The entire turn into the station is almost done!!

Seriously, these construction workers need to slow down or else they're going to get a track cramp! ;)

    Any discussion that results in me looking at pictures of Nitro is one I am in favor of! And in saying that, I am on sound footing! Terpy, whose sign off line could be called a footer

Why did they move the webcam; it now looks as if it's beyond the Cript!

Maria

The webcam has several different angles that rotate about every thirty seconds. One focuses on the station/transfer area, one focuses on the splashdown area, and one point out past The Crypt.

There the experts at webcams? I don't know, its like there's nothing going on back there.

Trust me it wont be long till you are thankfull that the webcam rotates to the different areas.

oy, I go to school for just one day and the finish the turn and Station Track? Jeeze! They are booking?

^^Seriously, these construction workers are out of their skulls right now with this speed!!

At this rate, I wouldn't think it's completely crazy at all to see the entire lift hill and drop done when KI throws their glorious gates to heaven open again on Friday, Sept. 19th!! :D

^I wouldn't be surprised to se it finished by Thanksgiving.

now i wouldnt say that. they only have a few pieces up and alot more to go. they havent even started working on the lift hill yet. mabye by mid to late january. :rolleyes:

Well they have finished putting up track that is allready supported, which means if they want to put in another piece they're gonna have to put in supports first. My guess? The Splashdown Area is next.

yea. then the lift hill :P

I got my eye on that tree line...soon the "hills" will sprout up and dominate the KI skyline! B)(pretend they're binoculars...)

You know what that means, right?

Never go to school again...

Ever.

NOOO....he needs to stay in school longer every day. Then they'll finish faster! :)

So when are they going to put up lift hill supports, since most of the lift hill doesn't cross the midway.

Wow, I'm still amazed how quickly this is going! The whole turn into the station in one day! This has to be some sort of record! I literally checked the webcam before dinner, and there was a gap between the turn and the station/braking areas. I finished dinner, looked at the webcam, no more gap! Amazing!

Something for me to look forward to eah day at school. Wait, they don't work Fridays, do the workers?

Looks like they're done for the day as well... :(

The way I see it, if the weather's good and they can do a lot, then there's nothing bad about trying to be ahead of schedule. According to Wiki Behemoth finished a month behind schedule, and I wonder if CF is just being more perseverant while they have the opportunity!?!

^Sure! Hell let's finish it by Holloween then have a season pass preview day on November 3rd! :lol:

This is going up fast! It's like "Extreme Makeover, Coaster Edition!"

-They're going to need a really, really huge bus, though.

Uh, there is NO way they can finish the ride by November 3rd. The last footings by The Beast entrance plaza aren`t even going to be poured until after the park closes in November.

And keep in mind that Behemoth did not open until mid-May. Kings Island is saying that Diamondback is going to open in April. Which means that they only have about eight months to finish building the ride and complete testing. It will not be like Firehawk which opened on Memorial day weekend last year.
