RollerCoasterRoyalty Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 I have only ridden in front car and back car so I am not sure if there are any differences. Question offtopic. How is the crowd today? Let us know. I am coming up tomorrow and Sunday and want to get an idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTCO Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 I don't really know what your asking, due to the wild and incorrect grammar. However, Diamondback has a policy of three clicks. It's the same on all the restraints and it's been that way since 2009. The train won't be allowed to dispatch unless all the restraints are below 3 clicks. Were ride ops rude to you today?

Joncars05 Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 I thought the restraints were tighter this year (and I'm a little guy 5'11", 160lbs) But how about the vibrations of the trains this year... They really kick in around the hammerhead and dont stop until the helix. I felt the vibrations on both the green and red trains (I didn't ride the brown one). Both rides were on the back car of the train. Last row/ and second to last row. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cholderfield Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 It didn't seem bad at all to me today, I rode in the last seat, front seat, and I believe the 4th row. I felt some vibrations, but I can't really say that they are "worse" than they were when the ride opened. Is it normal for that to happen after a few years, and if so can anything be done by the park to stop it from happening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieseltech20 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Odd, when my wife tried the test seat on opening day she was told she needed 2 clicks to ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KI FANATIC 37 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 I thought the restraints were tighter this year (and I'm a little guy 5'11", 160lbs) But how about the vibrations of the trains this year...

Both rides were on the back car of the train. Last row/ and second to last row. They probably need to tighten the wheels more. Could it be possible that they didnt tighten them enough when they were placed in the tracts this season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongLiveTheSmurfRide Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 The Diamondback vibration seems better to me this year than last, though it's definitely there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 But see Goliath, Nitro, Apollo's Chariot, etc. Strange. No vibrations there.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbt Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 I panicked a bit when I felt like I wasn't fitting into FoF. Nobody wants to wait an hour for a ride to not fit... and I definitely fit last season, ha! When I finally got in and closed the lapbar, I told the ride op it was smashing my foot. He said it was due to the wheel. I guess I just never happened to sit in a seat with the wheel hump before. Also, my friend had told me how ridiculous the audio loop is during unload. I finally paid attention and got a good laugh from the "re-branding effort". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
