DropZone99 Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 Out of all the great elements on Diamondback, which was your favorite? Quote
KIfan1980 Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 Second Hill - High Speed, great airtime, sweet turn at the bottom. Quote
violakat03 Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 The ejector air going UP the second and third hills in the very rear seat. Quote
BoddaH1994 Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 I thought about making this exact same hill but it looks like you beat me to it. Top 3 for me would be: 1. Second Hill 2. Splashdown 3. Train Design Quote
Beast1979 Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 Man, what a tough choice. I love the entire thing, start to finish, but I guess if I had to choose one it would be the Second Hill. In the back you really fly over that and the airtime is wicked, then the second drop is surprisingly huge and your thinking "What? Second drops aren't like this!" Good times, good times. Quote
Thrill_Biscuit Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 For me it was the first drop, because it looked nothing like the animiations, and felt like it was going back under the peak! Perfect, sheer terror! Loved every minute of it! Quote
Kawana Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 ^^^ I agree. The first drop seemed like it would never end and took me completely by surprise. Also, the hill coming out of the hammerhead was really an airtime surprise. Quote
UnrealNightmare Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 It would be the second hill for me. Quote
TheCryptRaider Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 My favorite elements were in this order: 1. 2nd Hill (SO MUCH AIRTIME! ) 2. Hammerhead turn (The Light G's made this element) 3. Splashdown (I loved getting misted by it) 4. Helix before MCBR (The speed through here is so amazing) 5. Helix before splashdown (A pretty cool and weird helix) Quote
Diamondback FOF Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 In the following order, they are: 1. Second Drop (So much air and speed). 2. First Drop (So much air and spped. Especially the back seat, you get yanked over the top and so much speed )! 3. Splashdown (Looks really cool and it cools you down if you're in the back ). 4. Train Design (I love how there are no seats in front of you. Also, the seats are really comfy ). 5. The helix before the MCBR (Nice speed and forces). I do have one complaint, though. I aboslutely HATE where the on-ride photos are taken. All three of my photos looked really bad, so I didn't buy one. I REALLY wanted one, though. Quote
gigacoaster2k Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 I loved it all. I was truly amazed by the insane burst of air on the second hill, though. Threw me right out of my seat. Quote
dare-to-fly Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 To pick one, I picked the second hill, but the third hill almost ties it. They're both really good, really amazing hills. Flyer Quote
TopThrill Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 For me the second hill, the amount of floating you get is just unreal. Almost feels like Millennium Force's 3rd hill. Quote
tigellinus Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 I do have one complaint, though. I aboslutely HATE where the on-ride photos are taken. All three of my photos looked really bad, so I didn't buy one. I REALLY wanted one, though. I've been saying this since last year as Behemoth's camera placement was is in a similar spot, but D-back's is better, if you can imagine that!! And which is why I was so happy when I heard the early rumors of bottom of the 2nd drop being the photo spot. But oh well, probably for the better to prevent being tempted to buy them if the photo will most likely stink, but I still want to get a keychain if I do get a good pic! Quote
Tomkatt7 Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 where is the camera located? I'm guess that the "Rock & Roll" fingers weren't held up for the entire ride. A small bit of posing maybe? Quote
thatbandguy8807 Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 where is the camera located? I'm guess that the "Rock & Roll" fingers weren't held up for the entire ride. A small bit of posing maybe? it is right after the hill going into the first helix. it is at the bottom of the helix as you go into it.. Quote
tigellinus Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 Wow...2nd hill is getting a lot of love and that's not even in my Top 5 for D-back!? Quote
IndyGuy4KI Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 I voted 2nd, but I tell ya, I loved ever aspect of it. I still can't decide what I liked more. I need a few more rides to make a better assesment. Quote
DropZone99 Posted April 20, 2009 Author Posted April 20, 2009 I ♥'d the third hill most. The back seat going down the first drop is amazing, pure floater the whole way down! Quote
goofywdw Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 I'm a Third and Fourth hill fan. I just love the intensity and airtime you still have that much into the ride. It was hard to choose seeing that the whole coaster is absolutely amazing. Quote
coaster_junky Posted June 14, 2009 Posted June 14, 2009 i voted for second drop, but it was almost a tie with the hammerhead, i love going through that looking down the supports. Quote
catzdrummer09 Posted June 14, 2009 Posted June 14, 2009 I voted First Drop. Nothing is better than that drop in the back seat. I rode it 2x opening day and both were back seat. Best floater air ever! The drop out of the MCBR, at least in the back, comes a close second. Oh, and I remember not so long ago, someone saying that you cannot get wet on DB. Well, anyone who's ridden in the back knows that at that rate of speed and the perfect wind conditions, you WILL get soaked...trust me. Quote
coaster_junky Posted June 14, 2009 Posted June 14, 2009 when i rode in the back i only got wet because i stuck my arm out over the scoop. Quote
HTCO Posted June 14, 2009 Posted June 14, 2009 First hill for sure. Row 16 + Not stapled in = Wow. Quote
