BoddaH1994 Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 Diamondback, Kings Island's 230' steel moster set to open in just under two weeks, greets its soon-to-be-thrilled guests with its brand new entrance sign Both photos courtesy of Don Helbig Quote
goofywdw Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 Great pictures. I love how much this stands out against the dark background. I love the tongue how it turns into the track. Quote
AgentSoB Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 Looks great... I was thinking it would be a bit bigger, but the ride itself says, "Hey i'm right here. The area continues to shape up. I think Rivertown will look like a whole different place. Quote

firehawkboy Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 Haha, I just got a text from KICentral saying that the sign was up! So I just HAD to check it out! It looks good!! Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 I don't like the sign. I wish they would have done something else. Quote
Rollercoaster Nut Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 Yah i just got the text and had to check it out. It looks awesome!!! Quote
goofywdw Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 I don't like the sign. I wish they would have done something else. Just curious. What part don't you like? Do you not like the brown background or the actual graphics? Quote
Colonel_SoB_fan Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 I don't like the sign. I wish they would have done something else. Glad I'm not the only one that is unimpressed with the sign Quote
BavarianBeatle Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 I like it. Pretty much what I expected . Quote
markalan Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 Someone call the "wahmbulance". Some of you wouldn't be happy no matter what they did. Could you do better? What did you expect? It's the ride's logo on a sign. I think it looks great. Can't wait to see it in person. Quote
Guest rcfreak339 Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 Its good, I did expect a bit more, but still the graphic is awesome looking! Quote
Colonel_SoB_fan Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 ^ Calm down man everyone is entitled to their opinions, but maybe some people were it to be more attracting "like here my line". It seems like it maybe be easy to just pass over. Then again most of the CP rides dont have big signs. Quote
Captain Picard Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 I thought they would have Samuel l Jackson screaming snakes on the trains. Quote
Diamondback FOF Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 I think the sign looks so freeeaakin' hot. I just love the Diamondback logo. It looks sick!!! Quote
IndyGuy4KI Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 I love the logo and its texture, but in the picture it does not seem to fill the sign up. Might be an illusion, but it makes it feel like something is missing? Anyone else feel that way? Quote
Hoeter Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 The sign looks good, but I agree with another poster in a sense that it feels like something is missing. Quote
BoddaH1994 Posted April 8, 2009 Author Posted April 8, 2009 It's very similar to Maverick's sign. That's kind of appropriate since it's a similar theme, though. Quote
delirium123 Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 I like it. Its exactly what I expected. And the color of the wood and the colors from the logo go hand in hand. What were some of you expecting, a digital video board lol Quote
gigacoaster2k Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 I don't like the sign. I wish they would have done something else. Coming from the same person who said the first rider tees look cheap, I see. You must be a hard one to impress. The sign looks fantastic, I like it. Quote
skaterboy22101 Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 I don't like it ethier. I was expecting a lot more. Quote
sgshredder33 Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 I really enjoy the sign. I think there is something missing aswell. I think that it seems kinda small, it could just be a picture though. Quote
DropZone99 Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 Now that I look at it again, It's just kind of weird looking.. I think it may be because the logo is so small compared to the sign it's self. And I don't like how dark the sign is. Quote

fcbaseball Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 The sign just looks out of proportion to me. I think the entrance could have been really cool if they used the snake's mouth as the opening with the fangs on either side. I think that would have been appropriate for a ride of this magnitude and for what it has done for the park. Quote
pyrocoasterkid Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 So question is, is it backlit or will there be lights added like on Mavericks? Otherwise, very similar to Maverick's. Maybe they will add a few things to the sides (Never said it was finished did they?): http://www.rcdb.com/ig3570.htm?picture=39 Quote
TheCryptRaider Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 I love it! Reminds me of Maverick's sign, and I love Maverick's sign! Quote
