Kat Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 ^They added two pieces to the exit of the lift loop and another two pieces going up into the top of the dive loop. Ohh ok I see that now. Y'all are quite observant lol I'm clueless thanks for the info!
Kat Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 They added four pieces of track and had multiple deliveries come in as well. Combine that with the rain, and IMO, they made good progress. Also, I don't think the cold affects them, especially when it's still above freezing.Four pieces of track? Maybe I'm missing stuff on the update lol only change I saw was a little bit of track on what will be the section coming out of the lift hill loop. Was that four pieces? Forgot about the deliveries lolyou can go to the gallery link in my signature and just arrow back and forth to notice the changes I don't get online much but I will have to do that thanks
sheikra_rocks Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 Diamondback's rattle is terrible. The vibrations are similar to those barrels around the park you can sit on.(anybody know what im talking about?) i actually found the last row on racer less bumpy and rattly than the last row on Diamondback. A ride 40 years old should not feel newer than a ride thats only from 2009! This is absolutely ridiculous. Maybe its about time Cedar Fair realizes that B&M really isnt all that great . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free Did you fall and hit your head? Diamondback is a lot smoother that Racer. The red train is riding the best this year toward the front. You really need to go ride the Cedar Point B&M trio. Diamondback runs light years better than those 3. 1
BeastForever Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 It's really not B&M's fault that these relatively new coasters like GK and DB are starting to rattle and 'bounce' IMO. I think it has to do more with Cedar Fair themselves. Replacing coaster wheels apparently is not a huge priority on FUN's to-do list... And like I've mentioned before, Nitro and Bizarro run smooth as glass. 7
MadMaverick Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 Just went to KI this past Sunday and the rattle on Diamondback is absolutely horrible. It seriously sounds like the back car is about to come off the track.
thedevariouseffect Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 Like I said, I hate it too but I think they look at it as, it's too late in the season, NDT will be starting soon anyways we'll just go with it and wait till next season
TheBEASTunchained Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 ......I believe that we will see the dive loop finished today, and possibly part of the "lift hill loop" put into place.... 6
MDMC01 Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 I didn't realize the dive loop was nearly done; Banshee sure is coming together!
thoe124 Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 This is a Banshee construction thread not a "Diamondback-is-rattling" thread Also DB is a kind of RATTLE snake so it's ok that It rattles lol. 5
BruceWayneWins Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 Last piece of the dive loop is being attached now!
RailRider Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 So close to the first inversion being finished and it is glorious... 5
thedevariouseffect Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 From that view it makes Banshee looked like a messed up infinity symbol 6
myklhicks Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 This is a Banshee construction thread not a "Diamondback-is-rattling" threadAlso DB is a kind of RATTLE snake so it's ok that It rattles lol. Which is funny because everyone is complaining about the back rattling.haha 1
calakapepe Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 Last piece of the dive loop is being attached now! The last piece wasn't being attached at 8:47am.. Nor is it even happening at 9:18 am haha
BruceWayneWins Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 Last piece of the dive loop is being attached now! The last piece wasn't being attached at 8:47am.. Nor is it even happening at 9:18 am haha It was on the crane being lined up at the time (the most recent piece) and looked larger than it really was. But enjoy your smug laughs. 3
myklhicks Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 the last piece of the dive loop is being setup for Clifford. 1
myklhicks Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 and now it's flipped! about to go into place!

ProdigyRider Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 I think Clifford is raising the last piece for the dive loop. 1
Kat Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 last piece of track is in place and being secured very exciting! 2

Just making calls when I'm lucky enough to!
BeastForever Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 This first section of the ride resembles that of Gatekeeper's. Interesting... 4
jcgoble3 Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 This first section of the ride resembles that of Gatekeeper's. Interesting... I hope that doesn't mean that it is equally boring.... 3
thedevariouseffect Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 Your new profile pic... Wow haha 7
jcgoble3 Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 BoddaH1994 did that to me. I'm still trying to decide whether to keep it or change it to something else. 4
Kat Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 I didn't find Gatekeeper boring at all. Perhaps because it's kind of hard to find a ride boring when the restraints have painfully pinned you in and you're just wishing for the ride to end.... I REALLY hope Banshee restraints don't hurt like Gatekeeper. If they do, then my rides on Banshee will be very limited! 3
malem Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 BoddaH1994 did that to me. I'm still trying to decide whether to keep it or change it to something else. Now that's funny. Did he steal it from your video, or is that from Don's footage? I didn't find Gatekeeper boring at all.

I REALLY hope Banshee restraints don't hurt like Gatekeeper. If they do, then my rides on Banshee will be very limited! That issue has been fixed on Gatekeeper, and it was confirmed that it won't be an issue on Banshee. 1

Did he steal it from your video, or is that from Don's footage? The angle suggests that it came from Don, which is corroborated by the fact that Ryan did this minutes after posting photos that Don gave him special access for. It's not hard to believe that Don gave him more than just special access. 3
