A quote from the above link to make it easier for others:

Q: The angle of the ascent on Diamondback’s lift hill looks very steep. Is this angle greater than most coasters?

Thanks,

Mike E.

A: The angle of the 230-foot lift hill is 40 degrees. By comparison, Son of Beast is 36 degrees and The Beast is 20 degrees.

Now you have the original commercial running through my head, the one where a deep voiced man gave the statistics over the visuals.

This one?

Edit: The announcers clearly says "3 tunnels". I remember it being announced as having 4 tunnels, and that was before the second and third tunnel were enclosed. The entire helix was also supposed to be covered with a tunnel.

Google Earth shows a ground elevation drop of somewhere around 60 feet from the top of the second lift down into the helix.

I found it showing 743 feet down to 683 feet, while the first lift hill has a steady elevation (between 740 and 750) from top to bottom. If the first hill drops 136 feet, and the second drop is 141, then I don't think the second lift would be taller.

There are probably more than you think. Its a rarity on wood coasters though. The only woodies with multiple lifts I know of are Beast and Twister at Knoebels.

There are plenty of steel coasters that have multiple lifts, including a lot of Arrow and Vekoma mine train style coasters, Iron Dragon, Ninja, Loch Ness Monster, Dragon at Ocean Park in Hong Kong, Ultimate @ Lightwater Valley, Mystery Mine, Smiler, and more.
