Blake Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 I emailed Don Dear Don Hello, I have some Questions for you, if you could answer. 1. When will the mounted POV come out for Diamondback? 2. Will there be a Kings Island webcam with view around the park in 2009? 3. When I look at the DB webcam I always see the lift hill light up but when I go by the park they are not on. When will they keep them on for good? 4. When will they test with water in the SD? 5. When you said on your DB blog it said "Park Blog" preview on www.kingsislandinsider.blogspot.com, when you said preview does that mwan that you will soon have on on visitkingsisland.com? Thank you for your pactience ~Blake P.S. Can you put the answers on a blog and email me so if others have the same questions they see the answers and it saves you emails to them .

Loaded with water dummies, this steel beast is scheduled to cycle trains every afternoon until the park opens to the public on April 18th. KICentral was the ONLY fan site granted special access to bring you coverage of Diamondback as it comes out of its shell!

Beginning February 2, the park will auction off a minimum of 96 seats to the highest bidders, who will be the first official riders on Diamondback – the tallest, fastest and meanest roller coaster to ever strike Kings Island.

A Kid Again currently has over 1,380 children with life threatening illness enrolled into its programs. The organization includes the entire family on its adventures, thus serving over 6,500 hurting people annually! Diamondback is the 15th roller coaster at Kings Island. The ride stands 230 feet at its highest point with a first drop of 215 feet at a 74-degree angle and will snake its way around 5,282 feet of track in excess of 80 miles per hour. Guests must be a minimum of 54 inches or taller to ride Diamondback. Diamondback first rider information: A minimum of 96 bidders will be seated. Bids must start at $50.00 and may be increased at any time until bidding is closed. Bids will not be posted until they have been secured by phone with a credit card to assure legitimacy. The bidding process will close the morning of April 15, at 8:30am. It is our intention to keep you informed through this website. To bid, simply go to www.kiDiamondback.com. Also, the top bidders will be listed so you can check the status of your bid. The official opening of Diamondback, including the top bidders supporting A Kid Again, will take place on Opening Day, April 18. The highest successful bidder will select their seat on the first train while all other successful bidders will be assigned their seats according to their bid amount.
