Typical KI commercial.

I bet the line will be pretty long at 8:45 to get passes processed. Remember people will be getting there before 6 AM

Is it just me or does anyone else think that the waterfall looks really out of place with the splashdown? With the splashdown's perimeter being lined w/ rock, and then waterfall having mulch along its sides, I just think it looks really awkward and cheap. It doesn't seem to flow or seem remotely 'natural'. This wouldn't be an issue if they made the entire area lined w/ either rocks or mulch... just pick one!

I'm not processing my pass. That's taken care of.

sorry jonathan I misunderstood your quote. The ERT run will, I think, take the full hour with the auction people ahead of us

I don't think it will look so out of place after the grass comes in. In fact I think it will look fantastic and I can not wait to see it in person.

^ I couldn't agree more. New landscaping always looks looks unnatural and contrived. Give it a bit of time to fill in.

Do you think the auction winners will also be able to go on the ERT run?

I think the waterfall will look incredible once all the landscaping is in and grown. I'm really looking forward to seeing the end result. Patience...

Do you think the auction winners will also be able to go on the ERT run?

If they have a Gold or Platinum Pass then I'm hoping so!

No it isn't, but dang they did some major landscaping around the Crypt entrance! The Beast entrance will be towards the upper left corner of the picture.

I realized that after seeing a wider range on the webcam this morning...oops.

If you won the auction, I doubt sincerely that you would be anything BUT welcome to participate in the ERT...gold or platinum pass or not....

all three snakes are out playing this afternoon - a good sign!

^^Btw...can anyone confirm, perhaps employee stuntvolt who I see online, if the snake heads have the iris in their eyeballs yet??

Just looking at all the people on the ride and around it on the webcam makes me exited!

BTW- Does anyone thing that the webcam will stay on kiDiamondback.com for the rest of the season? Because Possessed (Dorney Park) didn't and just has a image.

Im going to be getting at the park about 8:30 - 8:45 depends on traffic. Then from there right to Diamondback. Hoping to wait about 1 1/2 hours. Then hopefully the line isn't over 2.5 hours Ill will wait again to ride towards the front of the train this time.

Then after that its whatever else. Hopefully The Racer one of my favs. I can skip the other rides until a later time. I think Saturday is suppoesd to be nice and sunny around 68 or so. I am expecting a full park but its its a round 25,000 guest I wont be disapointed.

I had been wondering the same thing tigellinus, but did not want anyone to post and get in trouble about giving non public info.

Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

I doubt that would be considered non public information, it's paint or a sticker, not a new attraction for 2010 or telling people that you've ridden the ride already. Two completely different things.

I am a safer than sorry type of guy...

Hmmm, there appears to be a train stopped on the MCBR. Just a little tidbit of info.

Edit: It just left the MCBR

OMGZ it's broken!!!!!

I really hope that the view from the top of Diamondback is all that I would imagine it to be!

In the pictures it looks like its really not that high, but people have already said countless times that photos don't do it justice.

Wow, I've just noticed how little I've actually been on KIC! My avatar is still a Santa Claus hat! But its alright guys I'm back!

Does anyone here know if Kings Island owns that area of land back behind the hammerhead where the two lines of trees are?

^ KI does infact own that land.

Well that could really turn into great expansion for the park in the future.

I'm going to King's Island on Saturday the 25th. I'm expecting big crowds but I hope it's not too bad. B&M's are known for their fast load times so hopefully Diamondback continues that reputation! I cannot wait to ride this thing!

Well that could really turn into great expansion for the park in the future.

I hope KI doesn't expand right next to Diamondback. Maybe add more to Boomerang Bay by expanding it East towards Diamondback, but I would not like to see paths all around the ride.

Good point. But most likely it will eventually happen.

A very nice webcam shot

Looks Like Everything Is Complete,Que Line Done,Entrance Done,Landscaping Done,Fencing Done.

Now We Must Wait 1 Day 14 Hours 5 Minutes 45 Seconds

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!

Ive asked this about 3-4 times already and hopefully I get an answer..

The ERT for Diamondback on opening day is taking place at 8:45... where exactly will the gold pass/platinum pass holders meet to walk back to Diamondback?
