Kat Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 My brother (not sure what his name on here is) and I went to KI on May 2nd, my first trip for the season. We went on Delirium, then Invertigo, then I decided it was time to stop being a chicken and go face Diamondback. I LOVE roller coasters but am not a fan of heights, and have a fear of free-falling... these things stop most people from going on any roller coaster but not me! I love em, and am not about to let my silly fears stop me from having fun! I was scared of Diamondback since I first saw the model, video, and photos of what it'd look like... yet I wanted to ride it. As we approached Diamondback, I freaked out more because from a distance it looks like you go STRAIGHT up, not up at a steep angle. I was like oh my gosh I'm gonna die I'm so scared! For whatever reason, I guess to make things go faster, they have a separate "single riders" line, and even though I was with my brother, they sent us both in the single riders line. When you get up there, they pair single riders up with odd number groups, so my brother and I went on the same train, different seats. I wasn't sure what to think of this cuz I wanted to ride next to him to feel "safer" but it was fun anyways, and we got to compare experiences. I was in the 2nd last row. As soon as I saw the seat harness I freaked out more how could that lap bar possibly be safe and secure for such a crazy ride?? I got on anyways though knowing the ride wouldn't be running if it wasn't safe. We started going up the hill and I was freaking out thinking why am I doing this oh gosh what was I thinking oh my gosh I'm terrified!! We got to the top of the hill and I prepared myself for the drop of my lifetime!! Halfway through the ride I was screaming WHEE!!! hahaha. The ride came to a stop and I'm thinking OH MY GOSH THAT WAS SO AWESOME OH MAN THAT WAS INCREDIBLE WOW THAT WAS SOOO MUCH FUN I GOTTA DO THAT AGAIN!! I rode Diamondback 2 more times that night, and can't wait to go back and ride it again. Fantastic ride, absolutely thrilling, and very smooth!! After our first ride on DB we rode Backlot Stunt Coaster, then shake rattle and roll, Vortex, spongebob, zephyr, bumper cars, scrambler and then took a break for dinner (out at the car cuz I'm broke... haha) then back into the park, went on DB again, then went on The Beast, back over to DB one last time and finally Flight of Fear. Diamondback had a short line every time we rode, even when we went in the "group" line. We didn't wait more than 10 mins each time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom76257 Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Glad you had a good time! Diamondback truly is a GREAT ride. The more I ride it the more it's knocking The Beast out of my top spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
