CincyMan98 Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 I was talking about how much alike Diamondback and Intimidator would look. Sorry for not being specific. You could see Diamondback then Intimidator and it would look pretty much the same on the skyline. Quote
Diamondback FOF Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 A couple pictures. I think the first one is the same, but the second one has an additional piece of track: http://www.carowindsconnection.com/viewtop...;p=34677#p34677 Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 It looks like that timmy is coming alot better than the other one. Quote
Diamondback FOF Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 Most of the brake run is complete, except for the transfer piece. The transition piece from the station to the lift hill has been installed. Webcam: http://intimidator.carowinds.com/public/webcam/index.cfm Quote
Beast1979 Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 While not much has been posted here (Or on the coaster's official site), work continues on the newest B&M Hyper to grace the Earth. Intimidator's lift hill is well underway, as you can see from this webcam shot from a few minutes ago: Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 Looks great. I don't know if I'm going to be making it next season or not but I'm going to go to Kings Dominon and Busch Gardens Quote
Beast1979 Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 New photo update: http://www.intimidator.carowinds.com/publi...llery/index.cfm Quote
Beast1979 Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 Don't know how new it is, but the webcam has been adjusted to accommodate the height of the lift, now hundreds of feet tall: Quote
Beast1979 Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 Lift hill has been topped off and the first drop is underway: http://www.intimidator.carowinds.com/publi...llery/index.cfm Quote
maverick2007 Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 Looks like another great B&M hyper! I think 305 is kinda overshadowing this coaster a little bit... Quote
CedarPointer Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 To be honest, I think this one looks better than 305. Quote
maverick2007 Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 ^Agreed, but you and me both know that 305 will get much more attention because of the fact that it is taller and faster. Quote
Beast1979 Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 First drop is done, and work on the second hill is moving right along. Kudos to this construction team! Quote
DropZone99 Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Diamondback's little (but taller) brother looks just like him! Quote
Beast1979 Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 It does! But Im not complaining, more Diamondback in this world is hardly a bad thing! Quote
KIBOB Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 Diamondback's little (but taller) brother looks just like him! They do look very much alike, the only thing that i can see different is the curved angle at the top of the supports on DB where the ones on intimidator are straight. I just wonder when CF will build a new coaster with a track color that is not a shade of red. Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 It looks great but its hard to bbeat a 230 foot fist drop over the midway. Quote
CoastersRZ Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 Technically, it is a 215' first drop from a height of 230'. Remember, that the drop doesn`t go all the way to the ground! Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 Yea I know I thought about that afte rI posted it but didnt feel like editing the post. Quote
Coney Islander Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 Did Diamondback really build this fast? It felt so much longer! I guess excitement does that. Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 I remeber the last day they had some of the 1st hill and the lift topped off so I think this is coming together faster than Diamondback Quote
HTCO Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 That thing looks so yummy! Honstly a lot better looking than DB. Quote
Beast1979 Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 Before everyone says it, I'll say it first. Yummmy...... Also, a new angle to the webcam has been added. I'm sure we're gonna see more delicious views from this angle. Quote
Jasper Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 It looks great but its hard to bbeat a 230 foot fist drop over the midway. That's very true indeed. The midway view has provided us with some very interesting pictures of Diamondback indeed. Quote
maverick2007 Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 Before everyone says it, I'll say it first. Yum... This ride look great! I love how B&M hypers are so photogenic. Quote
Diamondback FOF Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 Some nice pictures have been posted one Carowinds Connection at: http://www.carowindsconnection.com/viewtop...&start=1635 I personally think the second hill looks betting in real pictures than in the rendering. I thought it looked like a gradual slope for the descent and now it is definitely steeper and twistier looking. I like it!!! Quote
Beast1979 Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 Wow. Just, WOW. I mean, WOW. I'm in love. :wub: Quote
Dbfan Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Looking good. I dont like those cream supports though. I think black ones would look so much better for the first drop. Quote
markhudson17 Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 I'm in love. :wub: You're not the only one. I can't wait until spring so I can ride the new monsters down south. Quote
