Diamondback Photo opportunities?

Hello Everyone, just wanted to welcome myself. My name is Shawn as you can see in my screen name. Anyway on to my first post. I know that the Crypt is closed as of this year, but I was wondering if I can still go through the exit of the Crypt like past years to get a picture of Diamondback's first hill? I was able to do this back in 2010 when I last went, but now that the crypt is closed, I was curious If I can still enter in that area to get a picture.

Thanks guys. I had a picture of Diamondback from the first hill a couple of years ago, but deleted it because I thought it was blurry. I wanted to redeem myself when I come down in a couple of weeks to take a new picture, but I guess I'll have to wait until they fill that building with something new.

I have seen plenty of people back there taking pics and such without incident. Most likely it is blocked off for those that do not know/realize the ride is gone. I can imagine people standing outside the entrance saying "How do we get in"? Much like those trying to get on SOB.

I would do that also to be on the safe side, hopefully the Haunt will be great addition!

Or you could just ask an employee. I asked an employee if I could get my picture taken next to The Maestro prop from Phantom Theatre on The Bandstand a couple Haunts ago, and he lifted up the rope, let me go under, and even took the picture for me. Since your not causing any trouble a polite request is all you need. And if you get a no, then oh well.

The answer's always 'no' if you don't ask, but I wouldn't hesitate with a camera in-hand. Seems the worst that might happen is they'll ask you to leave that area,

That is considered a restricted area. Keep out!

Thanks for clearing that up for us KIPR (I didn't see the previous post, sorry!) - none of us want to be in trouble! Glad we got that before anybody (hopefully) went down that path. :)

Alright, I will stay out, but hey Don, if maintenance people aren't enforcing this rule than people will still go back there.

So are you saying "Don" (who I can't imagine is in charge of maintenance or security) needs to post someone everywhere that's restricted or off limits?

Wow. Ignorant. I'm pretty sure a guy in a fanny pack with a Nikon (generalization, so sue me) isn't going to be someone hired from the park. Maintenance may not be there to "enforce" but they have or can get to walk-e-talkies (is that how spell it?) and can get the KI Police to come escort you out of the "restricted area".
