RingMaster Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 ^^ It's also happened quite a bit to Invertigo to where it's valleyed in-betwixt the second lift hill and loop, leaving riders stuck 15 feet off the ground.
Colonel_SoB_fan Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Its kind happen to deja vu lot because catch car missed to catch the train...... Here example video. I seen that happen on a ride at KI once known as Face/Off

welchce Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 With all the posts about Diamondback on this site I decided that even if I used the search function, I would still not be able to find an answer to my question. So any way, here it goes: Will there be an on-ride photo and if so, where will it be located?
iChase Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 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!!!! Thanks for your sympathy. It kind of sucked, but we made a good day out of it. We went to Jungle Jim's and ended up meeting the KIC group there. What are the odds!? That truly was nice to see you there. In case I neglected to introduce myself, I was wearing the Ohio State hooded sweatshirt. Too bad you missed the tour, though. Yeah, I think I made the connection. You were an inch or two taller than me, right? It was sad to miss the tour but I'm okay. I really enjoyed myself with Ksings just driving and exploring Jungle Jim's.

tigellinus Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 ^^Although Mr. Black Hat was claiming bottom of the 2nd hill, which would be very cool if so!
goofywdw Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 ^That would be a pretty great place to put it. From what it looks like that drop down in the the valley is going to catch us my surprise.(I think I heard that somewhere else too) This just might be one on-ride photo I actually buy.
tigellinus Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 ^^I hope you buy one!! I'm looking forward to the future 'Show your Diamonback on-ride photo!!' thread poping up around 9:00 am on Sunday, April 18th!
RailRider Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 I just hope there are no fowl incidents with Diamondback especially when it opens.
FireHawk Fanatic Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 I just hope there are no fowl incidents with Diamondback especially when it opens. I bet that the same thing that happened when Firehawk was set to open will happen with Diamondback. doubt anything will go rye, but they will most likely open late.
sheikra_rocks Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 ^^ LOL You mean the Apollo's Chariot vs. the Goose that took out Fabio's nose incident... LOL Yeah, I hope nothing like that happens either.
RailRider Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Yes especially with the splashdown, something around the water could go a fowl or atleast involve a water fowl of some sort...
teenageninja Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 I'm sure the park has looked into that by now, especially with how many Geese used to populate that lake.
tigellinus Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 I'm with Terpy...for the most part now with B&M it's just a math equation...you get it right or don't. Having said, Behemoth's lift motor burned out after only two weeks of operation. Hopefully something can be learned from past mistakes. If there's any question about water/splashdown issues, I think CF will be fully prepared to run dry if need be. More than likely weather will be the biggest factor. If the weather is right, I fully expect to be on one of the first-rider trains at 8:30 or 9:00, depending on how long the ERT is.
Thrill_Biscuit Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Well, I'll be sure to duck if I see one! Bird strike or no, you'll still have a splashdown.
74Gibson Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 On the fowl note, water does conduct electricity. Of course, we'd have to worry about blackened duck showing up on a menu
flightoffear1996 Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 I don't see why Diamondback won't open on time. They have plenty of time to test the ride and finish everything up. I hope the paint the spash down blue or something because its not very deep and just seeing concrete there wouldn't look as nice as the rest of the area does?
Colonel_SoB_fan Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 why is one train farther out of the station than the other train?
welchce Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 With all the posts about Diamondback on this site I decided that even if I used the search function, I would still not be able to find an answer to my question.

So I'm guessing they're not installing on-ride video? That didn't seem to go over too well at FoF. I don't even think it was there for the entire summer.
mikejenkins1 Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 So I am guessing they did another concrete pour or what is the reason for the blue tarps?
Gordon Bombay Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Yep, looks like you can now see the nose of train 3 (brown/gold) in the last storage stall.
IndyGuy4KI Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 I hope the paint the spash down blue or something because its not very deep and just seeing concrete there wouldn't look as nice as the rest of the area does? I was thinking that as well, but once it is filled with water you might not see the white concrete.
DropZone99 Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 ou'll never forget the tallest, fastest and meanest roller coaster to strike Kings Island when you take home a souvenir of Diamondback. T-shirts, buttons, hats, glassware and much more, all displaying the awesome Diamondback logo, will be available in the new DB Trading Post gift shop located in Rivertown. General park merchandise will also be available in the DB Trading Post, including 30th anniversary Beast souvenir items and apparel. New blog update.
flightoffear1996 Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Yea it claims testing will start in a matter of days. Hopefully it warms up and the snake can begin is first journy!
Beast1979 Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Tarps under the exit and the third train!
violakat03 Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 ^^ it works for Raptor at CP I think the reason it works so well for Raptor is the fact it's an inverted coaster. It gives a better place to position the camera (above the head) where you can see all of you. On FoF's, from what I've heard, all you could see was your head. I'd much rather see all of me, parts of the ride, and maybe my seat mate, than just my head through the ride. Raptor's camera positioning is really good because you see all of you and a lot of the scenery around you. You can tell where you are in the ride at all times.
coasterguy15 Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Lol, funny story. The first time I rode FOF was multiple years ago when I was just above 54 inches. So when I came out to see my on-ride photo, there were the 2 aliens sitting behind where I was supposed to be and my friend next to me. I was so short that my head didn't even appear on the picture! I really wanted that picture but I don't think people would believe that I was there.
