Diamondback Construction Thread (Updated 3-19-09)

They're gonna put the ride's highest point in next week? Yey!!! :lol:

And they are probably putting that piece in last so that they can celebrate it and whatnot, and they can make it an event or something.

Hey Beast1979....

How sad is it that I haven't (and am not even planning on) checking the D-back webcam today?! :(

But honestly, I know they're not working today, if the weather is like Indy's it sucks and the views won't be good anyway!

The only reason to check is the off chance you get a screwed up shot that provides a good view of the areas we can't really see well...like the lift hill, which hopefully they'll re-position the webcam for next week!!

Btw, why are you showing up online now?? You should be in school, getting your edjabucation!! :P

Sorry if this has been mentioned earlier, I've been busy with school, and I don't have time right now to check the threads because of school. There are now construction pics in the photo gallery of the Diamondback site.

Yeah, it has, but I don't know if I can forgive you. :P

The post above is correct. The construction crews have Fridays off. They work almost every other day and work into the night.

I'm sorry but does anyone else think the mustard yellow supports are ugly? I wish they would have stuck with the tan throughout the ride. My personal opinion is that that those supports will ruin the atmosphere in the back part of the park. It's obvious that they have no love for The Crypt, those supports kill anything theming that was left it.

What? How can yellow supports possibly interfere with a steel box?

Terpy, whose head hurts....The outside of Crypt themed? Please....

I Think the alteration of the Yellow Supports on the Lift and tan everywhere else looks nice.

I do think it's going a bit overboard making the bottom of the first Drop Supports Yellow to though.

Yeah, those were the ones I didn't care for too much, either. But I don't mind too much.

Looks like on the webcam, the angle that shows the side of the Crypt, they moved the webcam down a little bit and now you can see part of the Crypt's exit and the small yellow support. So maybe they are going to change it so we can see the lift hill for tomorrow!

I'm tired of us being called a theme park. What's wrong with amusement park?

Very True, and as mentioned earlier how much themeing is there for the big metal box in Rivertown?

No joke.

IMO a great coaster doesn't need a sugarcoating of theming to make it a great coaster. Slight theming is OK, but when you see it everywhere you turn in the queue, you have to wonder if they are trying to make up for something the coaster might be missing.

^He is referring to that old wooden plank supporting one end of that track piece...

I spy something yellow.

After I posted this, I noticed the smoke coming from the begining of the splash down, any thoughts on what it could be?
