    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

From the KIDiamondback website:

"The western Diamondback is the king of all rattlesnakes with a fearsome reputation," Scheid said. "They're big, mean, aggressive and terrifying. The name Diamondback accurately conveys the image of the characteristics of the coaster as it resembles that of a coiled snake ready to strike."

:D

I am getting more excited with every piece of this coaster that is put together.

If you think it's huge now just wait until they're all towering over the midway! :D

That is why, yesterday, I took pictures of Rivertown's midway to remember what it was like before Diamondback.

Got a couple up close pictures yesterday. Enjoy..

I'm still sure as stone that come tomorrow they will continue construction on Lift Hill Supports.

^ And it looks like the splash down also..

Well, looking at the pictures taken it looks like the track is not ment to stay there for long periods of time, I would bet sooner rather then later.

I was at the park all yesterday, that lift is gigantic. Even as big as it is in the pictures you really need to see it with your own eyes, it's crazy! I also noticed how high the break run is right after the splashdown. It looks like it will go up pretty steep right after the splashdown.

Yea and to think that will be the smallest hill in the ride, this is going to be Mamoth!

The angle of the ascent is really looking to be steep. Reminds me of MF a bit.

It's going to crest the lift right about where the midway starts, so I'd guess angle of acent is probably about 30-45 degrees.

So from what I looked at from the webcam it looks like they are moving cranes into the Woods area and they are installing Lift Supports now.

It looks as if they are transporting someting to the back of the park.

Well they are gone now, and they installed at least a few Lift Supports today.

What in the World is a crane doing with a lift hill support way out in the woods?

Hey.jpg

Maybe they ran out of room in Swan Lake and they have to transport them over there:

It looks like it may be setting it down right near the Crypt. Or I could be seeing things.

Just saw a flatbed going into the very back with supports.I thought theyd put up supports next to the train first.

OK so I checked around at it looks like they are transporting supports to the woods area and I can't see anything in the Swan Lake area but I am sure they are doing something there.

You aren't, the camera timing screwed up and I saw a bunch of little supports behind the Crypt.

I also saw a HUGE crane sitting in Swan Lake.

And It looks like they are moving supports back there:
