tubaman Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 When seeing the slides covered in snow, all I can think of is bobsledding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 Holy sweet niblets. Look how close Diamondback is to White Water Canyon in this picture: That's killer. The drop off past the ride is absolutely insane. You guys will be shocked on April 18th when you ride it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeLorean Rider Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Have they re-laid the train tracks yet? It looks as though they have not yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 Where are you talking about? I don't think any train tracks were removed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigacoaster2k Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 http://www.KICentral.com/photos/displayima...at=0&pos=24 It took a while, but I think I finally settled on that one as my favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Yeah, the train tracks were never removed in the process of building Diamondback. Therefore, they do not have to re lay the rails for the track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollercoast19 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Were these pictures taken during the Offseason Blues Party? I was wondering because I remember pointing out a plane flying fairly low and near the back of the park to my brother while we were in the International Restaurant.

Hank Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I know that I complain sometimes, and I never really compliment those who put some good words and/or pictures on this site. So.....I must say that these pictures are beyond awesome! Thank you for taking the time to shoot them and share them with us. I sincerely appreciate the effort and the beautiful outcome.

The Interpreter Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Wow! Gabe, you have outdone yourself yet again! Simply incredible photos of a simply incredible park and coaster. Hopefully the snow will be gone by April 18! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigellinus Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 ^^Yeah, no offense to Philly Flyin', but how many times can you see Med-Blue-sa(?!), and I'm a much bigger fan of these shots from Gabe, an obvious coaster enthusiast perspective.

jzarley Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Great pics (as usual!). The content on this site always continues to impress me. Diamondback is beautiful--what a skyline changer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XGatorHead 8904 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Wow, great pics...thanks for those! So many that are worthy of becoming my wallpaper...but I can't part with Don's pic of the back half of Diamondback from the lift hill quite yet. Someday, though...

74Gibson Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Those photos are fantastic... I feel like I should tip you! KI is really a quality park and your photos show it off well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I_heart_pki Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Great pictures. KI in the snow is so calm and quieting. Something that everyone needs to see. However, I prefer KI with no snow and tons of screams! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dare-to-fly Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 That is a beautiful picture, and I didn't realize that WWC was that close to the ride either. The snow makes it look even more beautiful. The mid-course is even almost appealing. I just hope that it does nothing unless it needs to stop the train.

Avatar Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Where do we start, I guess the obvious would thank Gabe for the great pictures and all the effort and cost that is incurred to so that we may enjoy them. I always love seeing SOB from behind and wish SOB was turned around so those up in the tower could get a wonderful view. Next to answer someones questions about when the pictures were taken, all I can say is I can see my van and where I parked it. Which brings me to my next question............ Thanks for the pictures again you are an asset to KIC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kittenpooh Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Thank you bunches and bunches! I love to see the park this way. White water looks so odd with out all the rushing water. Again, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I mean all i can say is wow! Those are some of the most impressive pictures i have ever seen. But what i have always wanted is a flyover view of WWC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcia Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Those pictures are great thank you so much for showing them I can't wait for the season to start as well as to ride the new coaster as well. Take care God bless Marcia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raptor Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 I don't think that new coaster is gonna sink in, till I see it in action, I feel like I'm looking at pics of a new Cedar Point coaster, it's gonna be awesome to have a coaster like this at Kings Island Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigellinus Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 ^^And nevermind that CP really doesn't even have a coaster similar to "our's"!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
standbyme Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Sorry for the late reply...but since I was gone last week I just noticed these. As always, thanks for doing the aerials...these are great...as usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
