coaster_junky Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 I think a lighting package like the one on MF's hill would be amazing. Especially how it changes colors and they strobe it. Absolutely amazing to watch and would add so much to the skyline. i don't see how that would work, unless at night they had like a giant white sheet to make the lift supports more solid.
74Gibson Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 I agree that MF has amazing lighting and that it probably wouldn't work on DB. There's just not enought surface to catch the light. Then again, even if they could just illuminate the beams, sparce as they are it would still be pretty cool.
coaster_junky Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 yea, i would love just to see a plain white light shining up each of Diamondback's lift supports.
skaterboy22101 Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 o i have an ida....2 actaly first have some neon green and neon pink lights shining up the lift hill or second we can just leave it compleatly dark
Guest KINGSISLANDMASTER Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 Whatever The Color OfThe Lights,If Any Will Be The Best Out Of All The Rides In The Park
The Interpreter Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 And on that, I totally agree with you....
skaterboy22101 Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 Whatever The Color OfThe Lights,If Any Will Be The Best Out Of All The Rides In The Park now i will tell you what a cool color wouuld be...using a black light
Guest KINGSISLANDMASTER Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 And on that, I totally agree with you.... Well.............Thanks
Guest KINGSISLANDMASTER Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 Whatever The Color OfThe Lights,If Any Will Be The Best Out Of All The Rides In The Park now i will tell you what a cool color wouuld be...using a black light Well if its dark out,how can they see the black light
The Interpreter Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 Black lights are ultraviolet lights...and things fluoresce under that light...
skaterboy22101 Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 Black lights are ultraviolet lights...and things fluoresce under that light... there you go confusing me all in all i think it would look pretty cool.
Guest KINGSISLANDMASTER Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 Black lights are ultraviolet lights...and things fluoresce under that light... Okay,then under that case.That would look cool
The Interpreter Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 Fluoresce means to glow eerily...which is what things do under black lights, which, ironically appear a bluish-purple.
BavarianBeatle Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 Yes, black lights with fluorescent trains would look very nice at night..... Or even better, use white light during the regular season, then use black lights for the Haunt......
Guest KINGSISLANDMASTER Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 Yes, black lights with fluorescent trains would look very nice at night..... Or even better, use white light during the regular season, then use black lights for the Haunt...... Perfect
BavarianBeatle Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 Thank you. That purple glow in the fog would be really cool for The Haunt.
Kawana Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 Any news on the actual construction? Beast1979? Anyone?
The Interpreter Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 The ironworkers, crane operators and the other workers come from all over. This is Thanksgiving holiday week. And deer season in many states. Just sumthin' to remember. Terpy, who notes that some states have no school all this week, as few...boys or girls...would be there anyway if there were....
skaterboy22101 Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 so in other words all or most workers have goon home to their familes so i can almost garentee there will be little if no construction at all this week
CoastersRZ Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 Gee, I have class here at UC up until 5pm on Wednesday! At least my Wednesday evening class was canceled and I commute so I don`t have far to go to get home. And besides, with yesterday being mostly washed out with the rain, that only leaves today and tomorrow for the work week, not a lot of time to get anything substantial done.
The Interpreter Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 And those in retail almost ALL work Friday and either Saturday, Sunday or both. Some of us who do other work will also be working Friday...from power plants to hospitals to other places you wouldn't even think would be open, given the apparent national shopping holiday on Friday (which may not as well as many retailers hope). Diamondback progress will continue. Stay tuned!
Beast1979 Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 They are putting up the tallest support on the second hill. Maybe a second hill crowning by the end of the week? Also check out the station, theres some wierd stuff going on there.
Thrill_Biscuit Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 Sorry I don't have a camera (yet...jingle jingle jingle...); but for a change of pace I decided to take a right turn onto Socialville Fosters, then left on Western Row road this morning. It's a bit of a country drive, with some horse farms and sich (I mean such). Talk about a dramatic perspective! The view of Diamondback rising over that unique landscape is phenomenal! ...and that's only the first 2 hills (well, hill and a half at this point)! This thing is impressive! Just thought I'd share.

RailRider Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 The areials are amazing. Realy puts in to perspective how big this monster is. Especially seeing the supports placed throughout the course now. Amazing, thanks for taking the time and effort to get such amazing pictures.
74Gibson Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 I really can't say enough kind words or thank you enough for the arials. They make my day.
Thrill_Biscuit Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 Okay, I just thought of something (for what it's worth) ~ I haven't yet seen anyone giving nicknames to the new 'peaks' that are emerging from the Kings Island treetops. The new skyline is getting a 'range' of 'mountainous' coaster hills visible for a couple miles away. I don't know the folks after whom we can lovingly dub these new giants? Folks iconic to KI lore? "Mt. Allen," "Mt. Dinn," "Mt. Helbig," etc.? Anyway great photos! I wrote in another post how cool the one picture is that features almost all the coasters (except the ones in NU) that have sprung up around good ol' Racer over the decades. The pics you guys provide are always amazing!
RailRider Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 ^ Mt. Helbig, I like that. Sounds like a volcano...

tigellinus Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 ^^Hey, did you ever try driving into any of those cul-de-sacs?? I have before a few times, but was a little nervous...I remember in the middle of the summer I could have sworn I even heard screams from Vortex or Beast back there! Also one time while "exploring" I was on a road to the east side of I-71, and a ways to the north of KI, and in this area I was in had a higher elevation and there was a nice skyline view of KI from afar (which is kind of hard to get with all the elevation changes in Warren County), but seeing KI now from that area would be cool!
