BoddaH1994 Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Check out this photo of The Beast. This is taken from Diamondback's lift hill and will be the perspective that you'll see from the top of the 230' hill. Photo Courtesy of Don Helbig
The Interpreter Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Nice! Few of us will ever get to see it live from up there with snow on the ground! I like The Vortex view, too!
Beast1979 Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 From the top of SoB you can see the entire park, with The Vortex you get a superb view of Rivertown, and this is a stellar view of The Beast! I am phyced to ride Diamondback! Thanks for the pic.
coaster_junky Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 great view, to bad on the 31st we can't go up their.
gigacoaster2k Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Wow, that is an awesome photo. It is amazing how far you can see.
JAHill Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Amazing to see how much smaller Vortex is compared to Diamondback.
The Interpreter Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 I wonder what Charlie Dinn would think!
CedarPointer Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 I think I just found my new desktop. Great pic!
JAHill Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 ^^ "I helped build that ol' thing right over there!" -points to Beast while on Diamondback's lift hill-
The Interpreter Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Jeff Gramke could say that, too; and probably will! Same for Al Collins.
Beast1979 Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Jeff Gramke could say that, too; Jeff Gramke would NEVER ride Diamondback! It has Airtime!
Beast1979 Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 I think that is the netting on the side of the track.
JAHill Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Possibly the nets connected to the side of Diamondback's lift. (Darnit Jackson you beat me!)
King Maple The Tree King Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Which nets? Are there photographs of them on the Diamondback site?
JAHill Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 http://kiDiamondback.com/public/latest/gal...ge&chip=397 Look on the right side of the track. (It would be on the left side of the track if you were riding, though.)
King Maple The Tree King Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Ah ha! I get it now! Thanks Beastfan! I was thinking of like rope nets beneath the track, not the fencing on the side. Edit: at first because of the light I thought it was wooden framing, like that of a roof. Thought maybe there was some work being done on the new Beast entrance.
Beast1979 Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Edit: Get what he's saying now, little misinterpretation.
The Interpreter Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Uh, you rang? The new improved, now smaller Mr. Interpretation...
tigellinus Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Great pic! Thanks!! The two notable things that caught my eye are: 1. See...The Beast remains undisturbed afterall!! (at least to a degree) 2. It should be noted this view is looking to the left and not dead-on straight.
goofywdw Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 That's awesome! I like what you can see of Vortex as well. You can see the shape of the first hill and looks pretty cool.
KIlover123 Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 http://kiDiamondback.com/public/latest/gal...ge&chip=397 Look on the right side of the track. (It would be on the left side of the track if you were riding, though.) wow there's stuff already in it!!
violakat03 Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 OK.... Why can't I see the picture? Don't worry, I can't either.
Tomkatt7 Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Gheez..... It was the first one. As soon as I typed my post, it showed up..... Must be the whole Lost space time thingy
UnrealNightmare Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Don't worry Tomkatt it didn't show up for me at first either.
Outdoor Man Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Hey Helbig. Next time angle that lense down a little bit. There are a few that want a glimpse of the new Beast "plaza."
Rollercoast19 Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Great picture Mr. Helbig! I could stare at it all day! Thanks again.
