RWildman424 Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Unless I missed something, two trains (red and green) have been sitting in the storage shed until just a few days ago when the green train was removed for maintainance. My timeline is Brown train removed, green train moved to third dock to get ready to be removed, Green train removed only days ago, and Brown train was put back on today. The two trains on the track now are red and brown. If this is the case, then there is still a lot to be done in the next 2 months. My source is the webcam, and I didn't check it very often, so I may have missed something, but I'm pretty sure that's where DB stands right now.

Diamondback FOF Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 From rotag's link: Ride merchanics have completed winter maintenance on one of the Diamondack trains, as cars for the 230-foot tall steel roller coaster were delivered back to the ride and hoisted up to the train storage area on Tuesday. I wonder what is currently going on with Diamondback? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamondback FOF Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 I was kidding. The little blurb on the link that rotag posted says othing about Diamondback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Opening day is drawing nearer and nearer every day. 72 Days, 10 hours, and 59 minutes to be exact at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamondback FOF Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 I didn't feel as if it was worth creating a new thread, but, from KI's Twitter page: Cars for the trains on Flight Deck spotted being transported from the shop to the ride is a sure sign that spring is just around the corner!

DropZone99 Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 I wish we could get a picture! I feel like Kings Island ignores Top Gun alot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedarPointer Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 I *really* hope that they fixed the decals this year. One of the FLIGHT DECK decals on the front of the train had come mostly off due to guests picking at it while stuck on the brakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWildman424 Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Just in case anyone is interested, the third and final train is being loaded into the storage shed on Diamondback. You can see some of it on the webcam right now. The season is almost here. 32 Days!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 As far as the decals go, Diamondback is in need of new stickers too. On the back of the trains the snake skin decal has been peeled off to almost where there is nothing let on some cars. I just don't understand people and why they do such a thing. Appreciate what the park does and don't deface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fear the Four Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 How could guests reach the decal on the back of the train? I'm wondering the same thing i can barely grab my toes on Diamondback! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the dampness from the splashdown is making it peel off? That's what I was thinking. It gets damp then it wrinkles and it dries and eventually peels off.
