HTCO Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 So for all of you lucky enthusiasts like myself, that have ridden Diamondback in the day and night. Which did you like best? Quote
footballfreak Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 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 Quote
gigacoaster2k Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 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. Quote
TopThrill Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 I will have to go with night, very different at night. Quote
HTCO Posted April 25, 2009 Author Posted April 25, 2009 ^^ 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! Quote
Dvo Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 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. Quote
BoddaH1994 Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 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. Quote
goofywdw Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 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. Quote
TOPGUN1993 Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 Night with the fireworks going on, what a great view! Quote
rotag Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 i like them both but night is better on the skin. Quote
skaterboy22101 Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 Last train of the night in the very back seat? Night Actaly in the two Saturdays DB has been open, I have been on the last train of the night in the last seat. Quote
Diamondback FOF Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 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 . Quote
The Interpreter Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 By that standard, which I don't necessarily subscribe to, Nitro wins by 112 feet over that new glorious thing in Ohio... Quote
Diamondback FOF Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 In your opinion, which one wins, Nitro or Diamondback. But seriously, The Beast wins hands down for best night ride at KI. Quote
The Interpreter Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 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... Quote
DropZone99 Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 Both are pure amazing, but Night ride... Wow, Best thing anyone can experience. Better than Beast night ride...! Quote
The Interpreter Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 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) Quote
DropZone99 Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 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! Quote
The Interpreter Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 Well...welcome back to the sensible side...almost! Terpy, half serious, half not... Quote
Justin_M17 Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 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. Quote
HTCO Posted April 26, 2009 Author Posted April 26, 2009 ^ 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 Posted By My New HP Laptop Quote
Justin_M17 Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 ^ 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 Quote
paperg Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 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.... Quote
gigacoaster2k Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 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. 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. Quote
Justin_M17 Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 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. Quote
skaterboy22101 Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 ^Goah Angie, I hope I get to ride something with you this year! Quote
markhudson17 Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 Still haven't gotten a night ride yet. Been too tired to stay at the park past 5. Quote
Mr. Coastermania Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 Diamondback at night is sweet. 1.The Beast 2. Diamondback 3. Sob Quote
Dvo Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 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 Quote
skaterboy22101 Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 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!! Quote
