Diamondback Day or Night?

Featured Replies

So for all of you lucky enthusiasts like myself, that have ridden Diamondback in the day and night. Which did you like best?

I would have to say night. It is an awesome feeling back at the hammerhead. Also you might get stuck on the lift like I did. Lol :D

Night.

I rode it last night as the fireworks were going off, that was crazy awesome. It's amazing during the day, but it looks so ghostly and ominous at night as you crest the hill and see the track partially hidden in the woods.

Plus if you look straight down over the edge of the train as you go down the first drop, it feels like a free fall. ;)

I will have to go with night, very different at night.

^^ I always lean over the first drop. It feels like your flying! Its amazing.. but my vote definitely went for night ride. Completely different ride experience!

Night ride 100%. I love that they don't have any lighting in the back section of the track. And a little off-topic, but on Millennium Force, I like to look way out into the Sandusky Bay and stare at a buoy, and it seriously feels like a free fall going down that drop. Amazing.

Night, hands down. It's dark back behind the Crypt and it's almost like your seat falls out from under you. Reminds me of the Voyage.

Night! I had my first night rides on Friday and coming down the second hill into the little ravine is amazing!. You have no idea when the drop will end.

i like them both but night is better on the skin.

Last train of the night in the very back seat?

Night B)

Actaly in the two Saturdays DB has been open, I have been on the last train of the night in the last seat. :D

I would have to say a... night ride. Once you go down the first drop, there is no light until the final helix. It was amazing out behind the Crypt. After the second drop as you make the slight turn was really cool because you could see the outline of the supports and I had my hands up and I thought my hand were going to get smashed. A night ride on Diamondback almost rivaled a night ride on The Beast, but The Beast wins by a mile, or should I was about 2,118 feet :lol: .

In your opinion, which one wins, Nitro or Diamondback. But seriously, The Beast wins hands down for best night ride at KI.

I am both too diplomatic to make that judgment and am lacking in at least some of the necessary data at the moment. Put another way, I don't publicly compare world class coasters that belong to different chains, for many, many reasons. Others can do that, I won't be...

Both are pure amazing, but Night ride... Wow, Best thing anyone can experience. Better than Beast night ride...!

Wait just a minute...aren't you the guy who adores Son of Beast and often says Beast is bumpy? And you think Diamondback is better than a Beast night ride? What about better than a Sonny night ride? (Never to be confused with a sunny night ride)

Yep! But after my last visit I decided to give Beast another try, and boy oh boy do I love it! Almost as good as SOB! You just can't beet that Double Helix now!

I haven't gotten to ride it at night yet :\ I planned on doing it Yesterday but by 7:00 PM I was the only person in my group of six who wanted to stay at the park.

^ Just happened to me today.. I was the only one in my group that still wanted to stay at the park... No night ride today :(

^ Yeah it's annoying. I'm going by myself next week, that way I can be sure I can stay for a night ride...AND I'll be able to use the single rider line :D

In your opinion, which one wins, Nitro or Diamondback. But seriously, The Beast wins hands down for best night ride at KI.

ohhh yes, I agree... SOB comes next... Front seat, both rides.... :o

This is exactly why I drive to the park by myself and meet up with others there. That way if anyone wants to cut out early, I can stay and do whatever I want.

I hang out with mostly people who are younger than me and i'm really the only one with my license (And i've only had it since the 11th, LOL) so that's not an option for me :( But I will stay for a nighttime ride next time I go out there.

Still haven't gotten a night ride yet. Been too tired to stay at the park past 5.

While I agree with the first two parts...

1. The Beast

2. Diamondback

3-1000. every ride i can think of that's not SoB

1001. SoB

;)

Boo!!

I thought someone who rode on the last train of Diamondback on opening day was cool!

but I guess I was wrong. Lol, jk.That last train was good, eh? I had a blast in the back seat!!
