thunderbeast1968 Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Well, the week is over. Is Diamondback up and running this week? Does anyone really know(it's early) what happened, and or what was fixed? I was there last Monday June 4th. The only thing that I noticed, was all 3 trains in the maintenance shed. Later in the afternoon, one was moved out for a short time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huskerchad Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 We stopped in last night on our way back from Cedar Point. Diamondback was absolutely running and you can see the new concrete that has been poured around the ride photo area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medford Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Diamonback was running on friday. Don't know if Invertigo was up over the weekend, but at 7:45 this morning, it was running in the rain, I assume undergoing testing prior to possibly ERT if its back in operation.

XjoshhyX Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 I don't know why everyone was freaking out over Diamondback being closed. When we were there Wednesday there was obviously something happening with people who had driven back toward the turn around area. Needless to say I can't wait for this Wednesday to ride it!

Snowman Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 It looked like they extended the concrete slabs from the center support of the first helix out to secondary supports on the north and south of the center. Ran smooth as ever. Nothing looked like it was sinking either. Have Fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB1 Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 People raged about the closing, so when on the topic, I took the opprotunity. Simple cause and effect scenario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redsfan320 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 It is indeed up and running, I rode it for the first time ever today. Awesome! BTW, first post! Just a little background, I live about 40 minutes away from KI, and have gone with my family a few times in the past. This year, however, I got a gold pass and have been going a lot with friends. I'd ridden a few coasters in the past, but within the past 8 days, I've ridden every one in the park except Invertigo. Been loving it; looking forward to talking about them here! 320 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XjoshhyX Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 At the Park right now, Diamondback has been shut down for about 15 minutes (about 2pm). Looks like a problem with one of the trains. Just moved it into the shed to work on. Just wanted to update everyOne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBInternational Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Now I don't know how true this is, but I have a friend that works WWC and she said Diamondback was closed because there was a problem with a suport on the helix with the photo. She said that they had to repour a base for it and that was why it was shut down. Still, im not sure how true this is but its what i heard.

Bennett Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 ERT did not start on the DB yesterday until 9:40 or so. Got one ride in before the park opened, as we ditched it for Surf Dog. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldiesmann Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 There was some sort of a problem with DB again last night. My sister and I decided to ride the train before getting in line for DB (since we were planning on making DB our last ride of the night), and it was running several cycles of empty trains at the time. We got off the train around 9:30 or so. DB was still running empty trains, and they weren't letting people in the line, but there were still people in the queues and in the station. Shortly after 9:30 it reopened again with no apparent problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cholderfield Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I was at the park today, didn't make it in the gate until a little after 9:30, went straight back to Diamondback and rode it two times before 10am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joncars05 Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I rode DB at night on wednesday. I saw the delay withthe train being worked on in the shed, not sure what they were working on but it ran fine to me. I can confirm that row 13 was roped off on wednesday the 13th also.
