Is Diamondback up and running?

[thunderbeast1968]

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.

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.

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.

Diamondback was running last night at 9:30pm.

Invertigo was running fine all day on Friday.

Invertigo was running Sunday night as well.

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!

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.

I've been waiting to use this photo for a while

..Why? It's open now...

[BB1]

People raged about the closing, so when on the topic, I took the opprotunity. Simple cause and effect scenario

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!

Congratulations and welcome aboard. Enjoy the ride(s).

Welcome to KIC 320! Glad to have another member that enjoys the park!

^{I rode Diamondback three times on Saturday morning, seemed like a happy camper to me.}

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.

Thanks for the update!

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.

[TTD-120-420]

I think we have already figured this out.

[XjoshhyX]

Still at the park, in line again for DB, ride shut down again, all 3 cars just chilling. Not sure but this is delay #2 on the day.

[KI FANATIC 37]

Its had more trouble this year than it has all other 3 years combined.....

[Bennett]

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.

[CoasterGeek101]

The webcam is a great tool to currently find out if the ride is running or not.

[Oldiesmann]

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.

[cholderfield]

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.

[KI FANATIC 37]

Wow, is having some problems still....

[spitfire]

I went out for a few hours after 3 p.m. today, seemed to be running fine while I was there. I got one ride in.

[kblanken]

Today it is running, but row 13 is roped off.

[Joncars05]

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.
