RailRider Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Im glad to see they are staining the wood a darker color. Now it will match the siding on the bottom of the station and will fit much better with the other buildings in Rivertown.

Now it will match the sidding on the bottom of the station and will fit much better with the other buildings in Rivertown. This is true, two good points here. Hadn't thought about the sidding at the bottom.
Captain Nemo Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Amazing multiple new angles on the webcam! Check them out at... http://kiDiamondback.com/public/downloads/webcam.cfm
kittenpooh Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Amazing multiple new angles on the webcam! Check them out at... http://kiDiamondback.com/public/downloads/webcam.cfm You beat me to it. I was just about to say that. I love the different views now.
Captain Nemo Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 The angles seem to be sporadic, someone is probably custom moving it... maybe finding new angles!
kittenpooh Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 I love these pictures. construction photo. It's nice to see something different on the webcams
Airtimeluvr Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 How convenient, everyone is watching for the first test run of DB and they change the camera angles. They must be starting to do testing.
DropZone99 Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 I love the new views, but I can't see Diamondback anymore...
Airtimeluvr Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 If we can not see DB anymore they should take the webcam link off of the DB webpage.
Thrill_Biscuit Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 What am I looking at? There are some rooftops, but I can't figure out where they are?
kittenpooh Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Ah our luck the first train is out on the track and about to go up the lift....LOL <<< this is post 200!! Im a junky.. ha ha ha
kittenpooh Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 What am I looking at? There are some rooftops, but I can't figure out where they are? It is where one side of the exit comes too.... thats all I can figure out.

It is where one side of the exit comes too.... thats all I can figure out. That is Diamondbacks Trading Post. It is the new gift shop that will be in Rivertown.
Thrill_Biscuit Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Thanks, Nemo. I knew the KIC Air Force would have good aerial intel on this! ^^Congrats on 200, kittenpoo!
corn4ahead Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 thats probably wat they are trying to do, keep us from seeing test runs.
tycoonrebel7188 Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Anyone else notice the roof work they are doing on the Diamondback Trading Post? That building used to have cedar shingles. Looks as if the are placing sheet metal on the roof to match the roof on the station.
Avatar Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 I have a visual on DB right now, there is a lite sprinkle and there at least 3 guys up on the break run area.
corn4ahead Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 I have a visual on DB right now, there is a lite sprinkle and there at least 3 guys up on the break run of the area.y Are there any trains out of the storage shed?
corn4ahead Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 maybe someone should pop him and email asking why they did this?? don.Helbig@visitkingsisland.com
kittenpooh Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 maybe someone should pop him and email asking why they did this?? don.Helbig@visitkingsisland.com Im sure he is dealing with alot right now. They may be doing this for a reason and maybe not. You know somethings are worth waiting for. And while waiting we have more great and different views of the park. Be patent my friends If there is something going on we will find out in due time. In the mean time sit back and enjoy the views of the park!
corn4ahead Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 yea true, but theres hardly any activety in the new views, other than the one.
mikejenkins1 Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 I have a visual on DB right now, there is a lite sprinkle and there at least 3 guys up on the break run of the area.y Ok, I will ask, so exactly where are you?
kittenpooh Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 it's raining like crazy now... i dont think anything will be happening any time soon!
nhimes90 Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 They show one glimpse of DB. It looks like an artistic rendering.
IndyGuy4KI Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 If I was KI, I would not want the world watching the very first run of the coaster in case there were issues. They don’t want people getting scared that it is not safe to ride. I bet once they have a few days of testing and fill everything is OK, they will pan the cams back over for us.
Avatar Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Outside the park having lunch, so I do not know if any trains are out, I was hopping you all would tell me that. Sprinkled harder then guys got down from break run and know a ton of cars are leaving the employee lot.
tribefan1988 Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 I emailed Don Helbig and didnt expect anything back but he emailed me right away. Cory, Please be advised that Diamondback has not been testing. Nobody has missed anything. Testing is scheduled to begin in a matter of days. An exact date and time has yet to be determined. Sincerely, Don Helbig Area Manager, Public Relations Kings Island
kittenpooh Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Stephanie, We are not testing Diamondback, as the rumor mill suggests, because of the webcam angles today. We're doing a webcam test to see what angles in the park we can showcase this summer. Don I did email him, There were other subjects I had needed to ask him about but did bring up the webcams. I edited my email but this is the part about testing and cams.

I realize the cams are mounted wrong for this, but how about one pointing at the parking lot to see how full it is before coming. HA!
