The Interpreter Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Oh, my. I can hear it now. Noise complaints. I hope not, but I can just hear them coming...even though these people bought beside Kings Island..."I never thought they'd put a ride there!"

KIfan73 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I'm looking forward to seeing DB in the flesh. I see these pictures, but I really can't wrap my mind around it. It makes Vortex look like a kiddie coaster, and I've always considered it "big". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAHill Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Oh, my. I can hear it now. Noise complaints. I hope not, but I can just hear them coming...even though these people bought beside Kings Island..."I never thought they'd put a ride there!" Hah. I wouldn't complain if I lived there. That's the joy of living near an amusement park, IMO. The noise of riders and the roar of a coaster passing by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coaster_junky Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 That last one if from some neighborhood behind the park. Thought I was going to get a better angle, but I did not. i wish i owned that house in that picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Bombay Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I will let someone else here tell you what stops the Camden Park Haunted House cars... http://www.mcflash.4000loavesanhour.com/sp...sy/trip_012.jpg Took this photograph during a GREAT trip to Camden Park last Spring, if you haven't been to Camden, you should go: I'd like to see him try and stop my car. He would have needed to have eaten his Wheaties that day, I tell ya. I don't know Kawana, he was able to stop mine. Great photos of Diamondback btw! Thank you for sharing!

CoastersRZ Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 By the time the leaves come onto those trees, Diamondback will be all but obscured from that photo with the house in it. And yes those houses were likely built in the 1990s, so they really have no right to complain about noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I would love to own that house for more than just that it is beside the park, it looks like a nice upscale home as well. Diamondback looks so intimidating from that perspective as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohiocoasterman Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I thought I remember reading something about them having one. I am sure they will this will now be one of there flagship coasters at the park. I guess the real question is where will they have it? I would love for it to be at the splash down area of the ride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigacoaster2k Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Oh, my. I can hear it now. Noise complaints. I hope not, but I can just hear them coming...even though these people bought beside Kings Island..."I never thought they'd put a ride there!" If it was me, I'd be so distracted by the roar of the coaster and the screams of the thrilled riders, that after a few minutes I'd put my chores off until later (whenever that may be), and spend the rest of the day at the park. My house would NEVER be well kept if I lived next to an amusement park! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kawana Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 That last one if from some neighborhood behind the park.

I'm sure I didn't look suspicious at all with my camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast1979 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Amazing Pictures. This ride is dominant over KI now, I can't wait to see it up close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XGatorHead 8904 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 My house would NEVER be well kept if I lived next to an amusement park! Can I use that as my excuse for my house being unkempt? I don't live right next to it, but one exit south on 71... I think that's close enough to apply! WOOHOO! 600th post! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongLiveTheSmurfRide Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I wouldn't think the sound from the new coaster would be that bad. B&M's have a distinct sound they make that is kind of like a woosh more than typical loud coaster roar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeLorean Rider Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 How difficult do you think it is for the people living in that house or around that area to sneak onto Kings Islands property? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastersRZ Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Except for the fact that in addition to a fence along the property line, I`m sure that Kings Island has security patrolling the park year round, and 24/7 to make sure no intruders enter the park.

flightoffear1996 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 If they live in those houses they don't have a need to sneak in but I would think they would have to go threw a few barbed wire fences in the woods at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Beast1979, I believe that they may now be installing the final roof (or at least preparing to install) for the Diamondback station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast1979 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 ^Yey lol. BTW, here's a view giving a little update on the first helix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gad198 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 ^ Looks as though the first helix is just about done. Nothing but the MCBR, second helix and the last piece before the final brake run to finish. Speaking of which, there's obviously more to finish, but seeing as how the webcam offered something new just about every day with track/support placement I'm curious to see what the webcam will have in store once the track is complete.

I have seen some security people in black uniforms at the nearby McDonalds early in the morning, with muddy boots, etc., apparently coming off the night shift. Not sure if they are for KI, but whoever they are, they sure look ready to keep high-value resources well protected! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Landscaping, queue work, midway work, Splashdown work, oh yeah, adding trains to the track and testing!?! It might not be like Dec or Jan action, but stuff will still be going on, "and how" as Terpy would probably end with! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightoffear1996 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Looks like they should finsh the track by next week. I think Behmoth was testing in March so I wonder if Diamondback will be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
