BoddaH1994 Posted January 22, 2009 Share 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.

The Interpreter Posted January 22, 2009 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast1979 Posted January 22, 2009 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Jeff Gramke could say that, too; and probably will! Same for Al Collins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast1979 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Jeff Gramke could say that, too; Jeff Gramke would NEVER ride Diamondback! It has Airtime! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Maple The Tree King Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 What is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast1979 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I think that is the netting on the side of the track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAHill Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Possibly the nets connected to the side of Diamondback's lift. (Darnit Jackson you beat me!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Maple The Tree King Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Which nets? Are there photographs of them on the Diamondback site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAHill Posted January 22, 2009 Share 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.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Maple The Tree King Posted January 22, 2009 Share 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.

tigellinus Posted January 22, 2009 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goofywdw Posted January 22, 2009 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIlover123 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 http://kiDiamondback.com/public/latest/gal...ge&chip=397 Look on the right side of the track.

Outdoor Man Posted January 22, 2009 Share 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." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
