Diamondback Construction Thread (Updated 3-19-09)

Featured Replies

Video from Channel 12 actually has the KI POV footage included and Don confirmed the 2nd drop may be the best part of the ride with an insane amount of airtime.

Local 12

This just looks awesome.

    Any discussion that results in me looking at pictures of Nitro is one I am in favor of! And in saying that, I am on sound footing! Terpy, whose sign off line could be called a footer

that is some great video and I can't wait to go over that second hill!

If you are planning to come to KI more than once, its a waste of money not to get a season pass.

Not when I get my tickets for 25 dollars.

I never said I'm not getting one indefinitely I just know I wont have one on Saturday.

Exactly! I love being a Kroger employee!!....sometimes.

If you see on the DB sign behind her that they added some writing on the right side. Her head is blocking the left side. I am wondering what they put on there!

Going over the second hill looks to have at least 6 seconds of airtime judging by the way the camera lifts with the train. Just amazing...

^ If you look when they are interviewing Mr. Helbig you can see what it says.

If you watch the video when they are talking to Don he is infront of the sign early this morning and it says on the left side "Do Not Disturb."

Didn't notice that, thanks Railrider. I bet the sign looks great now that they filled in some of the dead space!

Man it is times like this i miss working at the radio station we got to go and preview SOB when it was finished!

And boo i can't get the webcam up this morning!

Man it is times like this i miss working at the radio station we got to go and preview SOB when it was finished!

And it's times like this when I miss working at the park in the capacity I did a few years ago. I got to be a media escort for the Drop Zone/Face Off media preview day, the SoB announcement, and the SoB, TR:TR and SD&THC media days. I also got to ride OL:FoF for a commercial shoot before it opened to the public.

Ha. Ha. Ha. :lol: I can't help but laugh when I see all the people riding it for the first time and how enjoyable it looks! The splashdown looks incredible!

I love where the guy is trying to keep the girls hand up in the air going over the hill! Good stuff!

Massive Airtime from the looks of the video. The 30 second figure looks to be pretty accurate.

Those videos have me more excited. And I don't know how that is even possible. :D

Did you see how fast the train is going over the hill after the hammerhead (right as the channel 12 video cuts from the POV)? Wow! If that trim is off might we see, dare I say it, an ejector air moment on a B&M??

I bet there is a lot of air in the front car. Call it a hunch, but with how fast it is going, it looks rediculous.

Can someone help me out with this, they keep saying 10 vertical drops, but i only count 9 where is the tenth. I count the first three hills, the drop after the hammerhead, the hill before the helix, the drop after the helix, the two bunny hops or hills, and the splashdown. Please don't tell me they are counting the little drop where the break run is at the end of the ride, it looks like there is a slight drop before the turn around to the station house. Anyone that counts ten please tell me where i am missing.

okay so they are counting that little slope in the break run at the end. Thanks for the help.

I think it should be 9 drops and a break SLOPE, to call 10 drops on this is for me to call "shenanigans"

:lol:

but which way would be the best way to get to DB, through Nickelodeon Universe or by the Eiffel Tower?

I'm going through Nickelodeon Universe on opening day.

You may not be. At 8:45 people are being escorted back and then they will probably have all paths but one blocked off until almost 10. They don't want people running all throughout the park.

^^Btw...can anyone confirm, perhaps employee stuntvolt who I see online, if the snake heads have the iris in their eyeballs yet??

Yes.

Diamondback FOF who just HAD to. I'm sure they probably have been placed on, but IDK.

I caught myself laughing and moving with the train while watching the POV, ha ha. The lady in the front seat was cracking me up. She wanted to keep her hands up, but fear kept bringing them down.

There were alot of people on the ride???

This is going to be the longest day of my LIFE! I won't even be able to concentrate at work today, and I know I won't be able to sleep tonight! Those videos everyone posted were awesome. Thanks so much Go Browns for posting those POV's....those were incredible. The air time looks like it's going to be insane. I can't wait!! Only a few more hours! :D

I like how the women on the channel 5 news said that it didn't hurt your back or neck, like some of there others coasters that do. And it was nice to see a POV of the ride to on there website.

If anyone else was wondering, the eyes have been placed on the trains. You can see them in the videos that have been posted on here.
