Tom76257 Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 I'm anticipating a commercial for Diamondback some time between now and just before KI Opening Day and I'm also wondering exactly what it's going to be like. I like what CW did with Behemoth and also what CP did with Maverick (a prospector and a cavalry officer), but I'd also like to see something original. I hope that it's good and I know it'll promote Diamondback well - it'll probably have something in it about being the park's tallest, fastest, and meanest coaster. What are your thoughts and ideas both now and when the commercial airs on TV? Quote

Big Red Dice Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 living in central indiana i can remeber when twisted sisters first opend up for the sfkk park in louisville ky and they had digitally done the two lead singers for twisted sister standing up in the separate cars playing guitars as the passed one another since it is like a duelling coaster Quote
HTCO Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 I remember seeing a KI comercial not to long ago, and they used footage of Behemoth for Diamondback if I do recall. (searching youtube) Quote
JAHill Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 ^ I hate when that happens. DBack doesn't even closely resemble Behemoth! Quote
TTD-120-420 Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 Really, it doesn't? Its a giant B&M Hyper just like Diamondback. It has hills, an overbank (hammerhead), and around the same angle of descent as Diamondback. All DB has over Behemoth is the splash down. I think they are pretty alike. Quote
CincinnatiCyclone Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 And Kings Island's Diamondback cost 22 million american Dollars. Behemoth cost 26 million Canadian dollars. One thing that the Behemoth has over Diamondback is that it introduced the ''v-shaped'' cars one year before Diamondback did. The First rollercoaster in the world to do so.But I still think that Diamondback outdoes Behemoth by using the natural water break. Quote
HTCO Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 And to add to that, Diamondback is indeed a tad bit shorter than Behemoth by a few hundred feet. But I think Diamondback will all in out, turn out to be a better coaster. Theme wise and ride wise. Quote

HTCO Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 Diamondback Length: 5282' Behemoth Length: 5318' Diamondback is indeed a tad bit shorter than Behemoth by a few hundred feet Quote
goofywdw Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 Ohh I thought you mean by height. I wanted to slap you. hahaha Quote
Diamondback FOF Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 Diamondback Length: 5282' Behemoth Length: 5318' Diamondback is indeed a tad bit shorter than Behemoth by a few hundred feet I see that Diamondback is shorter than Behemoth by 36 feet, not a few hundred feet . Quote

HTCO Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 ^ And that's exactly why i'm not doing so well in math right now... estimating, not my game.. now running... Quote
G-Force Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 Just saw a KI commercial featuring the DB animation! It featured words running on KI roller coaster's tracks. The words were about park opening, sales, and I think one might of been about Diamondback but I'm not sure. Quote

Also, I've seen the D-back discount ticket displays at Meijer in Indy as well! Quote
UnrealNightmare Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 They have those at Kroger here in Indy as well. That's where I'm buying my tickets for opening day. Quote

tigellinus Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 ^^Yeah, I know that...I was asking what city you're in? They have those at Kroger here in Indy as well. That's where I'm buying my tickets for opening day. C'mon...step your game up and get a Gold Pass!! (if not Platinum!) Quote
UnrealNightmare Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 Haha with all the other trips I have planned this year I'm probably only going to to get to Kings Island three times this year. Quote
Amber Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 Haha with all the other trips I have planned this year I'm probably only going to to get to Kings Island three times this year. But a gold pass is only $100, if you visit 3 times, you will pay more than that at $48 a visit? Quote
UnrealNightmare Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 No I wont the tickets are 25 dollars at Kroger. I also have a free ticket coming at some point. Quote
The Interpreter Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 No I wont the tickets are 25 dollars at Kroger. I also have a free ticket coming at some point. Some point? Would that be Cedar Point? Terpy, running for the door....exit, stage left. Quote
UnrealNightmare Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 You should have exited stage right! At least that's what a haunt worker at Universal told me once when leaving the haunt. Quote
The Interpreter Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 Well, in any event, I truly do hope you get to the Point. Terpy, who just HAD to, and who thinks any self respecting park/coaster enthusiast in the Eastern United States who can simply must get to the point, have a great adventure, explore all things Busch, and even hit the Magic Kingdom, as opportunities arise...and don't forget both Dolly and Kenny would. Quote
UnrealNightmare Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 Well im going to get to the Point in August. I will explore half the things Busch in June. I will also remember Dolly in June along with having some fun Over Georgia! Edit** I almost forget about the Universal amount of fun I'm going to have in June as well. Quote
Tom76257 Posted June 18, 2009 Author Posted June 18, 2009 I took a look at both videos and they start out EXACTLY the same way. They're actually riding Behemoth in both videos too! Thanks Chris!. I'd have never noticed. Quote
coaster_junky Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 Behemoth commercial: Diamondback commercial: i must say, i like Diamondback's catch phrase better Diamondback: "your first ride may be your last" behemoth: "run for it" Quote
