^Thank you! My favorite part in the video is about at 1:35 where you can see it flying down the first hill. You can really see the speed and the steepness of the first hill.

I went down to the park today and grabbed some footage. Here you guys/girls are if you want to see some more testing!

Wow That looks very intense! Great pics and vid!

wow! Look at all of those sexy turns and humps! Looking greater everyday!

I was lucky enough to witness testing today and it was flying over every hill faster than I have seen on a B&M hyper. It looked so amazing. I hope it runs the same when the park opens!

WOOT! Awesome to sse some pics of the World during the offseason. Thanks for posting, great pics! SSE...Epcot tehe

Live actors sound pretty cool, I hope the queue isn't going to be too disturbing. I like how in those pictures it says, "You must be this tall to play this game."

I am assuming that they will have the ERT on the Friday but at the same time that seems very challenging. When I was in rides we had to be at our ride 45 to an hour before the park opened. So that would mean around 4 on the Friday. But what if an employee has school that day and they still have the ERT. That means that they would have to get there even earlier and that could be very hard for someone that gets out of school around 3.

^I have read on another site that the ERT for Gold Pass holders will not happen on opening day because the people bidding on the seats will get the first public rides. If you get there early I would definitely plan on riding. It should be a real people eater, I wouldn't worry about the line too much but it will still be longer than any other ride at the park IMO. I will be at opening day but it depends if I am working or not. If I work in the beginning of the day then I will go for the ride but if I am scheduled for that morning I will just wait until my shift is over and the venture off into the park in my guest clothes. Say Hi to me! I will be working in Admissions! Too bad you don't have a clue what I look like.

The exit splits so that one path will enter the gift shop/on-ride photo boot and the other will go straight to the Rivertown midway. So that those of us that want to run around to the entrance again for another ride don't have to wait behind a big crowd looking at pictures.

^Well thank you for your opinion. I have the right to mine as well. I'm sorry but I am not willing to bid for a ride on a Boomerang.

They are doing the same thing for Diamondback which I would gladly bid on because all the money is also going to a charity but I don't think I would bid for a seat on a boomerang?

^I have a question though. I'm not a doubter but do they need a big crane to complete a pull thru on these larger coasters or is there a special way that they can without a huge crane?

^haha Well when we (KICentral.com) watch the webcam everyday we begin to get loopy. How can we not name a crane we see everyday in person and on cam. Would it be at all possible for Diamondback to use those cables and pulleys but with only one car from the train for the pull through? That's the only way I can see it happening without Clifford.

I can't wait to hear how much different this thing rides without the headbanging. Great pictures!

^^Lol Sorry Clifford is what we called the big red crane used to lift all of the massive pieces in place. Here's a pic (I didn't make this)

So if they need a crane and clifford is no where to be seen then does that mean no pull through?

This is all I got for ya, sorry. Here you can see the sweet fangs and stuff.

I live very close and I hope to film testing when it starts. The only problem is knowing when it is testing and getting there to see it. But I started picking out my spot today!

This beast should really be a people eater. I know someone that will be on the crew this season and if all of the crew members are as good as him then the line should not be too much of a problem besides the first opening months. But still they shouldn't be too bad then either. Here is where I think the scoops wil be attached on that orange frame on the back car.

According to Don Helbig they are. They look so sexy! I'm pumped.

Great pictures! Nice to see Don Helbig representin' Kings Island!

If Behemoth is as amazing everyone says it is then I am even more excited for Diamondback!

^Thanks for the advice. I am very happy to be working there again this season. I hope to see some of you at the front gate!

^Yeah but I was terminated during the post season last year. I worked at SoB and Flight Deck. Safety violations.
