gigacoaster2k Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I am getting so ridiculously pumped and excited as opening day draws closer and closer. I am stoked to see this amazing new coaster, and all the changes the park is working so hard to bring us. This is my first off season since becoming truly hardcore into parks. I've never been so excited for opening day in my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auge.dog Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I'm as excited as the next person to ride this new coaster, and with my 7-year old daughter being over 54" this year, I should get the chance - along with being able to ride Firehawk, FOF and Invertigo for the first times. Everything about it looks great, but I do have one very minor complaint. I would have liked the seats to match the color of the ride or to at least contrast it. Right now, I think they are kind of ugly and do not match the ride. The orangish restraints and pinkish-red seats almost look cheapish. Again, this is a very minor complaint - but it is the thought that ran through my head when viewing pictures such as: http://www.kiDiamondback.com/public/latest...ge&chip=509 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrill_Biscuit Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 ^Somehow, these all look like "Patrick Star" from "Spongebob". http://www.kiDiamondback.com/public/latest...ge&chip=509 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastersRZ Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 It will likely take several hours to fill up the splash down pool. Just like it takes a long time to fill up the Royal Fountain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomkatt7 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 That looks like a cement pourer. Since it doesn't have a nickname like "Clifford" and "Casper" did, I'll call it "Smurfette". And now, the annual stupid Tb question of the year: How expensive would it be to have crome-plated supports on flight deck? True chrome plating is VERY expensive. Let me throw a little Nascar at ya though. Teams used to chrome plate their wheels back in the day, but it started to lead to problems once the cars got faster, and made more force through the turns. Chrome plated wheels were then outlawed by Nascar. Imagine my surprise when newly formed race team Michael Waltrip Racing showed up at Daytona 2 years ago with, yep, chrome wheels. When asked about it, he told them that it is not actual chrome plating. They use a paint process that gives the same look, but no weakness to the metal and at a fraction of the cost. So I would say, if they WERE interested in chrome, it could be done, and it could be done inexpensively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohiocoasterman Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Great pictures looking at them filling up the splash pool reminds me of when we fill up our pool for the year and it takes like one whole day to do it and that excitement builds until you can go in it. Unlike going in it on the coaster you can't wait to ride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am getting so ridiculously pumped and excited as opening day draws closer and closer. I am stoked to see this amazing new coaster, and all the changes the park is working so hard to bring us. This is my first off season since becoming truly hardcore into parks. I've never been so excited for opening day in my life. I know!!! IM the exact same way this year. last year was the first year I really decided to try just about everything at the park...My stomach is doing flips right now just thinking about opening day and me actually getting to work there this year...next week for training days cant come soon enough for me!!!!!!!!! I still gotta get a hair cut though its a little long and as of right now, not in rule with the image rule that KI has...oh well nothing that I cant fix by tomorrow or so...

Nah, I doubt it is your computer as it is happening to quite a few of people. I cannot access it via my Windows XP computer, MacBook Pro, or my iPhone right now.
