Saw that! Opening day is just around the corner!

is that the one that had been setting behind the storage shed since november? if so, i could have sworn it was green.

I cant wait for April 17th!

In the pics I seen from Facebook, they showed pics of the green and brown trains, being put back on the storage tracks.

im so excited for opening day!!!!!

I want my baby Diamond back! I can't wait for April 17!

Sounds like a Chilli's commercial.

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.

^the green train, or at least a couple of cars from it, have been setting on the ground behind the storage shed since november

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?

Check the webcam sometime

I was kidding. The little blurb on the link that rotag posted says othing about Diamondback.

Opening day is drawing nearer and nearer every day. 72 Days, 10 hours, and 59 minutes to be exact at the moment.

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!

I wish we could get a picture! I feel like Kings Island ignores Top Gun alot.

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.

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!!!

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.

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!

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. Simple
