KIFAN! Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Yeah w/ that single rider line on Maverick me and my friend try to scheme them and say we are single riders so we can get to the front quiker but we have never actualy had the heart to do it haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kittenpooh Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I didn't mean to start a color controversy..... they just looked different colors to me. From what I have heard from several people there were going to be color differences on each train. Anyways, yay for train two. I really hate these web cam problems, exp. when they are loading trains... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XGatorHead 8904 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I like those seats. I'm looking forward to riding in one of the back seats of the car (the separated ones). Those to me seem like they will be more fun the others. Although, I'll gladly take a front seat too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrill_Biscuit Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I, too, like the idea of riding on the 'outer edge'. It's like a stadium full of people in here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tycoonrebel7188 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I agree with you Gator. I want my first ride to be in an outside seat. I really don't care where on the train though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kittenpooh Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I agree. I want my first ride to be one of the separate seats. Seems like you would get an off the track kind of experience. they are also doing some great work on the exit ramps. Movin along Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyGuy4KI Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I switched over to the videos page to see the train video and can not get back on to the cams. I am guessing that the cams have hit their maximun number of connections and will not let me on till there is a free connection. So, I am guessing there is really not a "Problem" execpt for usage.

G-Force Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Wow, the train rendering video has been up for months, I have seen it over 50 times, yet not once did I see the changing colors of the car! I was still under the impression that the whole train would be different colors from the other trains. I feel really stupid! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tycoonrebel7188 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I just noticed on the webcam, could be just my eyes playing a trick on me, but it looks like they are installing the railings on the exit ramp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrill_Biscuit Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Lots of eyes on the webcam right now, I'd imagine. I've got the little red x with "Live Image" I do get in every 3rd refresh. I'm thinking last car, outside edge, for maximum head chopper effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAHill Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 From the looks of this picture, http://www.kiDiamondback.com/public/latest...ge&chip=493 it doesnt look like the front of the cars are Diamondback heads. I do, however, see the fangs and eyes. Does anyone think they'll add the detail-ish stuff to them later? By this I mean scales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Nemo Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I see a head. It may look different and have a different color scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fcbaseball Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 With everyone taking that back outside seat, I guess I will claim the very front row. I'm always left with the scraps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolhandluke Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Just a small thing, but I'm wondering if they have yet to install the small "railings" or "dividers" (for lack of a better word) on the trains. On Behemoth, there are thin green rails coming up from the floor to the left and right of the front seats on a car, and in between the back seats. These are absent on Diamondback as of yet. I assume they are probably mostly to make sure guests go where they need to go and not wander in areas they shouldn't be (namely between cars), and they seem like something that would be easier to install onsite. Just observing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just observing... From the pictures I have seen of Behemoth's train's those dividers look like they bolt right to the floor, so there is no reasson to think they could be bolted on to Diamondback onsite. Also the train rendering on the Diamondback website shows the dividers you speak of, they are black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigellinus Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 ^^I hope those dividers are there...I often rode Behemoth with my feet kicked up on those!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrill_Biscuit Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Click over on video, next to the webcam image; there's a video showing the car design, and it has black "dividers, " as RailRider mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterguy15 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I've gotta say, I think that the orange seats look much cooler than the yellow would have in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrill_Biscuit Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Orange, like this little piece of equipment, holding up the person with the best view of Diamondback! (I've always wondered.

MarshalMan35 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 About the stairs... it might be a single rider line but it could also be for "front of train/back of train." Was that just a paramount thing? Also, I completely forgot about the fangs. They add a nice touch. Especially since CF usually doesn't give 2 craps about theming!

The Interpreter Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 As has been said, the second set of stairs gives the park many options, and they are still contemplating how they will be used. And front/back access is not just a Paramount thing. See also Nitro at Great Adventure, for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goofywdw Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Hmm from that picture it looks like it is the path to the left of the watersplash. Maybe a photo op! lol I have no idea. But now for the real reason for this post. I have not looked at the webcam all day until now and KICentral and so much has happened! This is all so exciting! The new pictures are amazing and as I drove by KI a couple of minutes ago I was trying to pick out my spot where I am going to try to film testing when it starts. It's just a matter of knowing when it is going to happen and getting there to see it. I am so amazingly excited! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
