Beast1979 Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 I should've pointed out the big black ditch thing on the right side, I assumed people would've noticed.
CoastersRZ Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 That is not a "ditch." That is just mud from tire tracks from equipment moving back and forth. The snow and ice in that area has been removed/mixed in with the mud from the construction traffic.

coaster_junky Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 new blog entry, even though it's about the "other site" i'm still going to post the link. http://kiDiamondback.com/public/latest/blog/
firehawk fan Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Oh my god!! That is so beautiful! It's going to take over the whole look of Kings Island! By the way ; stupid question; there is a portion of the coaster in those pictures that almost looks like a tunnel; but is that the brakerun? Thanks! Maria

It's amazing how DB almost looks like it was added to the pictures with how vibrant the colors of it are!
standbyme Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 This morning. (Usually I would say something like "Isn't it cool that it snowed"...but seeing how it is affecting tomorrow's get-together I will pass this time.)

So I don't think people really mind if something like this is posted, I mean we are all obsessed with the same thing, Kings Island!
Ashers Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 I am so pumped to ride this thing! I know I've seen it partially completed up close....and I've seen pictures of it completed, but I think the minute that I step foot into the parking lot and when I finally walk right up to it I'm going to be blown away. I'm sure the pictures don't do it justice! All of this crappy weather is really making me wish it was springtime! ~Ash
PKI_flyer Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 stupid question, but what is the black looking tarp around the show building of the crypt?
CoastersRZ Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 Looks to me to be just shadows, and/or different lighting levels. Nothing major to get concerned about.
IndyGuy4KI Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 Looks to me to be just shadows, and/or different lighting levels. Nothing major to get concerned about. Yeah, It does look wierd, but if you look at the shadows for the station for DB there is a long shadow extending from it as well.

coaster_junky Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 quick question, in this picture: http://kiDiamondback.com/public/latest/gal...ge&chip=463 why is there a wire running from the top of the support?
Beast1979 Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 quick question, in this picture: http://kiDiamondback.com/public/latest/gal...ge&chip=463 why is there a wire running from the top of the support? Wires have run from track and supports since the first supports were put up, I think to keep it stable untill they are done.

So I don't think people really mind if something like this is posted, I mean we are all obsessed with the same thing, Kings Island! You made a good point, it's all with the same interest in mind. It is quite silly when people go fighting over multiple sites and whose site is the original, the better, or the bigger.
IndyGuy4KI Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 I think it is interesting how much closer we will be to the track of DB than any other coaster in the park. Most everything else has a fence around it, and you dont really walk under much of the track. Getting back to FOF and FH you have those nets under the track of The Racer.
goofywdw Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 ^It does look like you will be very close to the track when walking to go through the entrance on The Crypt. Or are they going to be changing something with that? I can only think of one other coaster where the park actually trusts the guest of the park with putting a coaster and path so close to each other. Griffon. I cannot believe that there isn't something where that bridge is where the coaster flies right under you after the first drop. An idiot could easily hurt someone on the coaster. But it does allow for a great picture op.
carpetarson Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 My question is, would say a nickel cause the same damage to something if it was traveling at 80mph, compared to something traveling at 80mph and hitting a nickel?
Beast1979 Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 Trains have been on site for a few weeks, and will hopefully be put on the track this week. Blog Update and Photo Gallery Update featuring said installment coming Tuesday-Wednesday, maybe later depending on Weather.
RWildman424 Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 My question is, would say a nickel cause the same damage to something if it was traveling at 80mph, compared to something traveling at 80mph and hitting a nickel? Its the same thing.
dare-to-fly Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 Its the same thing. Is it? In one scenario, the nickel is traveling at a high rate of speed. The other scenario has the train traveling at a high rate of speed and the nickel at a much slower rate. Either way, Mr. Kinzel wouldn't want to catch it.
Tomkatt7 Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 If I was standing at the Eiffel Tower. Terpy is walking towards me from Coney Mall at 3 mph, and he has $12.00 Uncle Henry is in Rivertown walking towards me at 2 mph with $25.00 AND, Smurfy is running from zombies towards me from Great Wolf Lodge with $50.00 Which one will buy me a cup of coffee when they get to me?

None of them. They will all be out of money by the time they buy their own refreshments from those exhausing walks. You've got the right Physics problem idea.

I don't know about all that...I was just trying to get a free cup of coffee. Sorry, I'm in "one of those moods" tonight....LOL
dare-to-fly Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 You were in the wrong park for that, but the prices of things are a matter that I have come to overlook these days. They are overshadowed by all of the other good stuff.
Aaron Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 Its the same thing. Is it? In one scenario, the nickel is traveling at a high rate of speed. The other scenario has the train traveling at a high rate of speed and the nickel at a much slower rate. In both situations the train and nickel have the same relative velocity, meaning the same outcome of impact in both situations. It's elementary physics.

In both situations the train and nickel have the same relative velocity, meaning the same outcome of impact in both situations. It's elementary physics. The outcome is the same, but the variables going into the experiment are not (as was said) "the same thing." That is simple scientific method. Physics and Science I am well aware of. Flyer, who was just messing with their heads and now is also convinced that Terpy has had great influence on here.
