kings_island~thrill is me! Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 ^^You know Jackson, that's a great idea! We should definitely all stop as a group and wave hi to the webcam tomorrow. Maybe someone watching online can capture that and it could be our webcam group portrait! What time I'll get it!
faceofbeast Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 I was looking at the webcam today, and I saw 2 trains in the station. There's always been 2 trains in there if I'm remembering correctly.. Isn't there supposed to be 3 trains? Doesn't that mean one's in the station?
coaster_junky Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 no if you look a few pages back they had the first car of the third train on the track pulling it around, and until they are done with it they can't put the rest of the third train on.
coaster_junky Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 they have the transfer track moved over, are they going to pull a train out for us?
Jaredap88 Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 is it just me or does the track keep moving? it could very well be my imagination though...
coaster_junky Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 the transfer track does keep moving from one storage track to another
Jaredap88 Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 any guesses as to why? or is someone just bored and playing with it
tubaman Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 Perhaps they are just fine tuning the transfer system? That, or it's the coolest $22,000,000 toy ever made.
firehawkboy Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 I think they are actually putting the 3rd train on.
crazypkikid2005 Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 Perhaps they are just fine tuning the transfer system? That, or it's the coolest $22,000,000 toy ever made. If that's the case then I want to play!
kings_island~thrill is me! Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 I'd put it in my back yard!
Jaredap88 Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 that would be a sweet backyard and an awesome accent piece imagine the summer bbq's... "wow your backyard looks great! who did your landscaping?"
tubaman Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 that would be a sweet backyard and an awesome accent piece imagine the summer bbq's... "wow your backyard looks great! who did your landscaping?" "Adena Corp of course! I have them do it all for my yard. You can't beat the quality!"
SOBFOF Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 Maybe they are trying to get the third train on before the Winter SOAR event!
Jaredap88 Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 i kind of doubt they're doing anything with trains. my guess would be like someone else said and they're just doing some fine tuning. and is that water on the camera?
tubaman Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 Look who I spy! Could it be our very own KICers?
goofywdw Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 I think it is. I posted the same pic in the "February 21st What Time?" thread. lol
tubaman Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 It's good to see they got the opportunity to go...now I can't wait for the pictures.
goofywdw Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 I know I'm excited. But I feel bad for iChase because they got there late because of a snow storm and they aren't allowed in the park because security doesn't know where the tour is..... Well Find Out!!!!
crazypkikid2005 Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 Wish I was there right now! Oh well I'll be there soon enough.

coasterguy15 Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 I just got back and it was amazing!!! I'll be posting a PTR soon. It is HUGE in person.
KIFAN! Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 I'd put it in my back yard! I think the easiest coaster from KI to fit in your backyard is FOF. Besides lil bill and all the kiddy rides.
Beast1979 Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 I'm sorry I havn't been able to do a PTR. I have been busy with things and will be for quite a bit. Expect my PTR tomorrow morning. I am sorry. But for now, here are some of my faves:
DropZone99 Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 Cool pics, I especially love the one from Nickelodeon Universe near Diamondback's entry area and the last one!
goofywdw Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 That last one is awesome. You get the trains and the beauty of the first hill. Great shot!
AgentSoB Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 I loved the teeth on the front of the trains.... My girlfriend kept on saying "get a picture of those". Overall the tour for myself was worth the trip. My girlfriend wasn't as happy, she isn't as big of an enthusiast as we are. So, I'll take a page out of Jackson's book and begin to call her Trooper Girlfriend. Overall, Diamondback looks great and Don said it has power and could be fired up now. He said the window for testing is however about two weeks. Also, I don't know if you can tell by the pictures posted thus far but water dummies are loaded in one train. The landscaping is begining and from the looks of it they have a lot of work to do and a short amount of time to do it in. Today showed me how much work they truly do to open the park each year.
coaster_junky Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 are there any other free image hosting sites besides photobucked, because i can't get my pictures to upload on there?
TheCryptRaider Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Anyone have a picture of these "Teeth"? Or basically a picture of the trains themselves? The ones on Diamondback's site are wrapped up.. woo, my first post!
