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

Great pictures. I love how much this stands out against the dark background. I love the tongue how it turns into the track.

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.

Word from under the Black Hat is that you may be dead on in your statement. April 18th??? Are you here yet???

Looks pretty nice.

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!!

That's sexy.

I don't like the sign. I wish they would have done something else.

Yah i just got the text and had to check it out. It looks awesome!!!

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?

Glad I'm not the only one that is unimpressed with the sign

I like it. Pretty much what I expected .

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.

Its good, I did expect a bit more, but still the graphic is awesome looking!

^ 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.

I thought they would have Samuel l Jackson screaming snakes on the trains.

I think the sign looks so freeeaakin' hot. I just love the Diamondback logo. It looks sick!!!

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?

I think that why I don't like it.

The sign looks good, but I agree with another poster in a sense that it feels like something is missing.

It's very similar to Maverick's sign. That's kind of appropriate since it's a similar theme, though.

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

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.

I don't like it ethier. I was expecting a lot more.

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.

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.

Thats exactly what I thought, it's just a bit odd looking....

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.

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?):

I love it!

Reminds me of Maverick's sign, and I love Maverick's sign!
