No problem. No sense in that.

Also like they say, those who talk usually dont know, but those who do know and still talk are not mature enough to handle the responsibility.

Wish i was one of those test dummy's who have gotten to be on the testing cycles.

My Favorite Pic This is my favorite pic of Diamondback so far.

I plan on being a public dummy riding DB on April 18th.

Numerous cam shots showing Diamondback speeding through its course.

This is a slideshow of images I have captured as well as ones that have been posted in this thread. Enjoy!

Does it look like they are planning to add a cover to the exit area?

Thanks so much Railrider! That is great~!

Diamondback Sweepstakes

Thank you. I just registered!

Brent,

Thanks for the link. Even though I never win these things I still registered...there has to be a first time some time!

Just registered too, and ordered my 2009 Warren County Visitors Guide, I've been getting them since 2007 just to see pics of KI. Also, cool slide show Rail Rider, I love the splashdown part!

If nobody noticed, but a train is parked on the pre-lift.

I think and I hope. Because Delirium's and BLSC's look very sharp!

Thank you Railrider. Thats great!! It made my day!

I just want to know when we're going to get a POV video?

In essence, you have one. The animation will end up being stunningly close to the actual ride experience, if past is prologue.

I just want to know when we're going to get a POV video?

Although I do not know for sure, I'd guess that a POV video wouldn't come out until the ride has actually opened. Why would they want to ruin the surprise?

I thought I remember reading someone that Don said there would a POV shortly after the ride had been testing.

Looking at past rides the year of their opening, it seems mixed weather they put out a POV of the ride before it opens depending on the chain of the parks.

I agree with Terpy. I don't think a POV would look much different than the Renderings. However I still think it would be awesome to have one but maybe not until after the park opens. Don't want to spoil the surprise!

^^As soon as Terpy said this I went to YouTube to watch and "compare and contrast" (as they say in HS English) the anime vs. the homemade POV's, and honestly....the good quality homevid POV's kill the anime's!! IMHO....

^When you say homemade do you mean the Nolimits ones people have made?

^^No, I mean, like, the actual camcorders on the actual coasters...those videos give you a WAY better representation of what it's like to be on the ride versus the POV animations...

^Ohh I thought you were just talking about DB.

I noticed that too. I figured that since the newsletter is a free e-mail newsletter it wouldn't be a problem.

Anyone else noticed that the train is still partially up the lift hill? im kind of confused by this but i hope its just another test.

^^The coaster's broken....and for good, I'm sorry to say!!

Yea its definitely stuck still. Which, IMO, isn't a bad thing. It gives the park experience in fixing major problems/breakdowns that will happen during the season. Its better that it happens before it opens then after opening weekend and have it closed all day or possibly all weekend. The Curious George inside of me is wondering whats going on though...

Yes, let it break now, not later. I am wondering if they have to test a car being on the lift for a certain amount of time? Seems like a reasonable test to me in case a car has to be stopped on the lift for any reason during the season.

Well its been in that position since yesterday afternoon.
