Beast1979 Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 Cool, now it's time to see our little Diamondback grow up! He's growing up so fast! Jackson, who couldn't resist.....
jonnyvelvet Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 When does everyone think we will get a new blog/photo update from the KI site?
JAHill Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 Don's email gave auto-replies that he was out of office, so my guess is whenever he comes back we will be updated.
Colonel_SoB_fan Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 Cool, now it's time to see our little Diamondback grow up! He's growing up so fast! Jackson, who couldn't resist..... That what she said
Aaron88stang Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 Yeah, Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom plans to open in the middle of April which I'm very happy to here since last year they weren't even open for the spring break crowds. Do you know if they are opening the whole park this year or is the section with the Twisted Twins and Mile High Falls going to be closed again for 2009?
skaterboy22101 Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 When does everyone think we will get a new blog/photo update from the KI site? I imagine we will. Expect some photos for sure.......i hope.......
FOFreak Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 I'm telling you CoasterRZ, Some people go crazy this late in the offseason.... Late? What's late about it? We still have over 4 months to go (give or take). Yes but it feels like it's been 4 months already......But at least I'm not one of those people that post about having a camp out to wait for Diamondback and end up raiding someone for Mountian Dew under The Beast....lol I was part of that. And i have to admit that when certin people joined, the thred became a little to....o whats the word....oh this: STUPID. It was good in the beggining when we were all just haveing fun but then yea like i said it became pretty stupid. Seriousaly, whats the point of raiding people for Moutian Dew or riding the rails of our baby Diamondback Tee Hee... I loved that thread! The point was to get enough Mountain Dew to last the winter.
The Interpreter Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 What about the summer? Last I checked, Kings Island is a Coca-Cola park!
FOFreak Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 I heard a rumor (just a rumor) that Kings Island may be converting to a Pepsi park in 2009. Maybe I should make a "Camping Out And Waiting For Pilgrims Plunge" topic!
Beast1979 Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 ^Well, ya! That's common knowledge! And in other news, The sky is red and The Vortex will be gone next year.....
CoastersRZ Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 I sure don`t know where you heard that rumor from.
JAHill Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 ^ My common sense tells me zl422 told him that.
FOFreak Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 Read Terpy's post! It sounds like thats what he's hinting to!
Phantom Theater Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 I heard a rumor (just a rumor) that Kings Island may be converting to a Pepsi park in 2009. Maybe I should make a "Camping Out And Waiting For Pilgrims Plunge" topic! I THINK I remember Terpy saying something that Paramount Parks signed a deal that they have to have coca-cola at Kings Island or something like that. I dont remember,But I thought so.
Reclaimer Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 I think you may be seeing quite the opposite next year. I cannot confirm as I'm definitely not a person in the know, but I did hear some talk of a certain park to the north going to the Coke way of things in 09. Now, this is just talk overheard from various friends and nobody in management, so I wouldn't put too much faith in this, but something to think about regardless.
coaster_junky Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 since we are talking of rumors, has anyone heard anymore about grandSon of Beast?
Beast1979 Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 You mean the retheme of Nick U? That rumor's on hold due to inadiquate information on both sides of the story.....
coaster_junky Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 You mean the retheme of Nick U? well, no i remember a while back there was a guy who said he worked at the park and opened boxes of shirts with grandSon of Beast on them.
Beast1979 Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 Well I clearly remember someone from the park telling me that Diamondback would have a 90 Degree drop too, but that didn't happen.....
Coasterfreak93 Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 when did Terpy say they were getting rid of Vortex
Oldschool75 Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 Okay the last 20 or so posts have nothing to do with Diamondback construction. Can the mods come in and clean this up? I come to check on Diamondback and I read 2 pages of how other parks are struggling and going into bankruptcy.

You have a point but also its the weekend and nothing is happening on the construction site

I come to check on Diamondback and I read 2 pages of how other parks are struggling and going into bankruptcy. and how exactly did your post help the situation?

Like was mentioned, nothing is currently happening.. And it's the offseason. People are bored!
JAHill Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 ^ I think we may need an "Offseason Useless Posts and Random Thoughts Thread 2008" topic. We'd make a new one each year.
kiruler102 Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 The picture ghosts got it. Oh my goodness i guess we need to call snake-busters they get the job done in just a coil. To reach the moon and BACK, you must ride DBack 577,495.25 times!!!! My calculations Earth to moon- 238,857 miles Earth to moon and BACK- 477,714 miles 477714 miles converted into feet: 3,050,329,920 feet 3,050,329,920 feet divided by 5,282 (Diamondback's length in feet) Equals: 577,495.25 Rides On Diamondback. Or an equivalent of 3.29 years of nonstop riding on Diamondback. We can do it. we can Git-r-done
G-Force Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 I wonder what construction will go on this week? It's supposed to be pretty nice in the beginning of the week! Also, post #3000 of this thread!
