RailRider Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 No problem. No sense in that. Also like they say, those who talk usually dont know, but those who do know and still talk are not mature enough to handle the responsibility.
LongLiveTheSmurfRide Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Wish i was one of those test dummy's who have gotten to be on the testing cycles. My Favorite Pic This is my favorite pic of Diamondback so far. I plan on being a public dummy riding DB on April 18th.
RailRider Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Numerous cam shots showing Diamondback speeding through its course. This is a slideshow of images I have captured as well as ones that have been posted in this thread. Enjoy!
Rollercoast19 Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Does it look like they are planning to add a cover to the exit area?

standbyme Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Brent, Thanks for the link. Even though I never win these things I still registered...there has to be a first time some time!
DropZone99 Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Just registered too, and ordered my 2009 Warren County Visitors Guide, I've been getting them since 2007 just to see pics of KI. Also, cool slide show Rail Rider, I love the splashdown part!
Blake Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 If nobody noticed, but a train is parked on the pre-lift.
Blake Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Does it look like they are planning to add a cover to the exit area? I think and I hope. Because Delirium's and BLSC's look very sharp!
kittenpooh Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Thank you Railrider. Thats great!! It made my day!

Oldschool75 Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 I just want to know when we're going to get a POV video?
The Interpreter Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 In essence, you have one. The animation will end up being stunningly close to the actual ride experience, if past is prologue.
BoddaH1994 Posted March 13, 2009 Author Posted March 13, 2009 I just want to know when we're going to get a POV video? Although I do not know for sure, I'd guess that a POV video wouldn't come out until the ride has actually opened. Why would they want to ruin the surprise?
flightoffear1996 Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 I thought I remember reading someone that Don said there would a POV shortly after the ride had been testing.
Captain Nemo Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Looking at past rides the year of their opening, it seems mixed weather they put out a POV of the ride before it opens depending on the chain of the parks.
goofywdw Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 I agree with Terpy. I don't think a POV would look much different than the Renderings. However I still think it would be awesome to have one but maybe not until after the park opens. Don't want to spoil the surprise!
tigellinus Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 ^^As soon as Terpy said this I went to YouTube to watch and "compare and contrast" (as they say in HS English) the anime vs. the homemade POV's, and honestly....the good quality homevid POV's kill the anime's!! IMHO....
goofywdw Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 ^When you say homemade do you mean the Nolimits ones people have made?
tigellinus Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 ^^No, I mean, like, the actual camcorders on the actual coasters...those videos give you a WAY better representation of what it's like to be on the ride versus the POV animations...

After I registered to win, it also says: "Thank you for entering to win our First Ride on Diamondback sweepstakes, only offered to our valued newsletter subscribers." I noticed that too. I figured that since the newsletter is a free e-mail newsletter it wouldn't be a problem.
coasterguy15 Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Anyone else noticed that the train is still partially up the lift hill? im kind of confused by this but i hope its just another test.
tigellinus Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 ^^The coaster's broken....and for good, I'm sorry to say!!
cedarAfairs Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Yea its definitely stuck still. Which, IMO, isn't a bad thing. It gives the park experience in fixing major problems/breakdowns that will happen during the season. Its better that it happens before it opens then after opening weekend and have it closed all day or possibly all weekend. The Curious George inside of me is wondering whats going on though...

Yes, let it break now, not later. I am wondering if they have to test a car being on the lift for a certain amount of time? Seems like a reasonable test to me in case a car has to be stopped on the lift for any reason during the season.
RailRider Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Well its been in that position since yesterday afternoon.
Go Browns Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 ^^The coaster's broken....and for good, I'm sorry to say!! *note to self cancel trip to Kings Island this summer
