thoe124 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 My friend sent me some pictures of a crane doing work on Diamondback. Diamondback is also not operating today. What could be wrong? Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malem Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 What's wrong? Probably nothing. The park has been closed this week. Whatever maintenance work they were doing there is evidently not done yet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonofbeast2.0 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Well the logical answer is they are removing the ride! Also had to get rid of Shake Rattle and Roll because it is affected by Vortex's sinking... Now don't even get me started on the Arcade in the Coney Mall area! Note: this was a high level of sarcasm. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuxedoman52 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Maybe a fresh coat of paint. Atleast I hope so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emileeee Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 From what I can see right now, there's no crane. Then again, it's kinda hard to see back there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also heard that WindSeeker quit looking for breezes, so it's going, too! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bennett Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 They are obviously using the crane to hang Christmas lights... 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoddaH1994 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 The ride is down and the trains are house away. I imagine it'll be closed the rest of the day. Fingers crossed for it opening later this weekend. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhyano Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 No not trim breaks, they make the ride less enjoyable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thoe124 Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 They took down the crane and reopened it at about 700. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Yeah, I rode it around 09:30. Business as usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, Winterfest always made me sad. The wonderful summer park seemed so barren. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI Guy Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Sort of off topic here, but I had a thought. What if KI added some kind of rattle to the back of the Diamondback trains. You probably couldn't hear it much except for when the train was crawling, but I think it would be a cool touch. It is a rattle snake after all!

LovinMeSomeBanshee Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 They definitely could have done a lot more with the Diamondback theming. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZ Kinda Guy Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 See http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php/topic/27917-Banshee-construction-progress/page-232#entry600028 for the rattle deal, it's been there since forever, for a specific reason as well.. It's not there for a reason amd it serves no purpose. It's there because it's just there. There isn't anything wrong and it doesn't hurt anything. It's a product of the train design. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
