Diamondback Construction Thread (Updated 3-19-09)

Yes! kittenpooh says it's the green train, but it looks like gray or silver to me.

I think it looks silver too, but then again, the camera isn't exactly color-accurate.

Just for all of you since the webcam is cycling slow or not working.

So question: In the animations, only the highlights of the trains change color, but it appears the full train are actually different colors. Is it indeed the full train going to be different colors from train to train (making the animation wrong, yes I know it was based on what they knew)?

Yeah you're right.

I'm kind of upset too because it's not refreshing very often. =[

Could be worse. It could be a Cedar Point webcam that refreshes every minute, plus keeps changing locations and keeps going down.

New update to the face book page with Diamondback,

Diamond Trains are being put onto track. 3:38pm

That's really strange that the new train has a (seemingly) different color scheme. As far as I knew, the only color changes on the trains were on the wheel covers and other small accent areas. The snake face on the lead car was always bright orange/gold. Is it possible that's some sort of protective cover/wrapping on the train that hasn't been removed from the trucking/transport stage?

Unless something has changed which I haven't heard about in the overall plans...?

I think the trains only look different colors because they didn't take the plastic off the train yet.

It's not silver. The wrapping used to protect it during shipping is still on it.

The best thing I've found to do is click on the webcam link at the top of kiDiamondback.com and just let the window sit. I did that and after a while the webcam started showing again.

Urg mines not working either <_<

It has an x in the upper right hand corner and says live image but its just blank

^Well from the renderings, only a few accents and the covers over the wheels are supposed to be different colors. Not the entire front car. We will find out for sure when Don finally posts pictures.

I always enjoy his pics its very exciting when you come on here or ki's site and see some new ones

^^^ Watch the train animation here. The wheel covers and other minor trimming changes color. The lead car, seats, restraints, floors, etc all remain the same colors from train to train.

EDITED to point out that the above posters said what I said here. Good to know I'm not crazy. Completely.

NEW PICTURES OF THE TRAINS!!!

Edit: Sorry, it's just I am really excited to see pictures of them.

Wow! those pics are awesome just what I wanted as I stated in my post above ^_^

Is it possible that they are already done putting the second train together?? I imagine it is possible, I guess the question i'm really trying to ask is, Is it probable that they are done with the second train?

Cool, tan and red/orange trains are seen so now we just await the sight of a green train....

I think they are still lifting it up. Or thtats atleast what it looks like in the webcam

^^If you look carefully at the pictures just posted, you can see that the first train was in fact the green train. The train that is being put on at the moment is the red train.

^^The green train was the first to be loaded. It's sitting patiently in the first bay. There are a couple good pics of it, including a full train shot of it on the transfer track.

Uh...I guess I've been a bit distracted, but when did they get the stairs done leading into the station?

EDIT...Ok, tycoon here keeps beating me to the punch. ;) Oh well.

I do see one distinct difference in the trains from the video.

In the video the restrains are yellow, and in the pics just posted they have orange restraints.

A question was asked concerning the single rider line at the Blues Party and Don said they weren't sure what they were going to do with that yet. It may be a single rider line but he also said stuff about a speedy lane or something like that.
