I don't think the "typical B&M" has new styled trains, a water splash, multiple drops into a ravine, a 70*+ drop, and a single rider line. You can read all you want, but I'd love to see the review that said it wasn't that great and the airtime was mediocre.

I totally agree! The first and second cars were awesome. That's pretty much the best description for the front seat of Diamondback.

When they said "Every seat is an unobstructed view" I didn't believe it. After riding...they're so right! Every seat gives great views and offers complete comfort.

Over the phone on an online radio show, actually.

LOL! Great pictures dude. Blame Robb

I always get giddy when I see a post from you. All I can think of is..."I'm Scruffy. I'm the janitor." Bahahahahahaha. Random note. Uploading more pictures as we speak!

Where is there a B&M splashdown that does something for the riders onboard? The last car. I think it's awesome to turn around and see that massive explosion of water fly up right behind you. And oh yes almightyfire, the POV tells everything man. The pov is the same thing as riding the ride. Your butt stays in one spot the whole time, and it feels like you're staring at a computer screen.

Well, I think it's okay when it's 1-2 people....but any more than that I'd say you're abusing the line. I mean, it's single riders for a reason....two people is fine in my opinion. But when you have like, 3+ people you're just trying to cut the lines.

I'm trying this new resize thing...hope this works, Larry! Edit....here's some more pics! Is it me or are the eyes glowing? Happy happy joy joy Just like....so much water! It's quite the show. I could watch it alll day! It's a long train. And a great finish! Biiig splash. It kinda dissapears with the sky. View from the station.

Thanks for the comments! And I did turn around to check out the watersplash on my first ride in the back right seat....I got wet. It was like a grenade went off in the water right behind me! Arm got wet, and my face a bit. But it was awesome. More pics to come! I'd be happy to meet up with anyone from TPR! -JZ Someone check Dan's pulse Still...take cover! Take cover!! Eskimos are welcome on Diamondback. More force would be nice. That was close. TOO close. Skalloooossshhhh Here we go again! If that didn't wet my pants...then that was me. OH SHHHH*****TTTT!!! Sig. move compromise #2 Oh crap....oh crap...oh crap...

It's where the contest/sweep stakes usually was by Larosas and the bathroom in Rivertown.

Must have gotten some special privelages for that shot, I couldn't get that underneath the first drop...the fences must be pretty recent! Cha-Ching! Marshmallow puff rules all!!! Look out, Diamondback's going to pop out and bite you! That'd be a great "Show me your terrified face for a Bag-O-Crap" routine. But I have no crap. Sir...sir..sir. I do believe now you owe money to some cop. No, not the parking ticket. Into the finale! Lots of details on the trains! Haha, almost the same shot I took during the winter tour! Money! When ya go down, when ya go down downnn Personal space, plz Crypt. This is the part when the drop dissapears beneath you. Ohhh yesss!!! You spin me right round, right round.... Sooo many different faces! Who knew up and down is so great? QUICK! Everyone make a squirrel face for Elissa! FFfffFff-ffff-ff-f-f!!!! GrRRRRrRRR, I'm a scary bear!

The pictures aren't fuzzy...it's the rain you're seeing I'm sorry these look so bad! HEY! YOU! HANDCHECK! Do I see a smile? ..well, if you look upsidown. He better like out of midcourse airtime. Everyone else does! Mr. Redriderhood is NOT happy. I think....I THINK...Fry took a shot similar to this up at Behemoth. I'm not sure if it was him though, but thanks for the inspiration! This part is all sorts of amazingness. Twisty forces, airtime pop, then drop into the ravine. Here's what happens after the second hill...and until the airtime hills. Maybe not so pretty... It's so pretty! Diamondback goess alll over Rivertown. Hey Jared!!! Now you're at ground level! You've got a bit more of free falling to do. Yeah, it's prettty much likeee that. ALMOST 90* DEGREESE Half Poncho Half Army dude is unsure of his riding experience. You really feel the speed coming out of the ravine. Up into the second hill. Rain or no rain, it's awesome!

Hey doods. So Kings Island got this new ride, Diamondback. It's pretty awesome. It looks very pretty, the lines move quickly...even with a two train op. Diamondback has lots of airtime, and a very...very steep drop that might rival Millennium Force. Does it live up to the hype and expectations of a custom B&M hyper? YES. Does it excede the hype and expectations? ...maybe. I got about 10 rides, front seat...back seat, and everything in between. It's a front seat ride. But the backseat is pretty darn good, too. Any negatives? While most people talk about the trims, I'll throw something else in there. -Trim and MCBR do suck, but they don't take much away. -To me, especially when comparing to Goliath SFOG...the helix and the hammerhead seem weak. Goliath, I was PLASTERED into my seat...but Diamondback just kind of twirls you around. Fun? Sure. Outstanding element? Eh. I think it's a top 10 ride, I'd put Maverick over it, but I'm not ready to say anything else! It's a fantastic ride that Kings Island has been in need for. There's B&M floater air and surprise!!! OMFG!!! I'm going to fall out of my seat!!!!! air! Onto the photos! I know they kind of suck....it was raining half the time. Yes....Diamondback + Rain = Ouch. One other cool thing was that I saw a guy wearing a B&M hat...so I thought, "Where else could you get a B&M hat..besides B&M!" So I walked up to the guy and asked if he was from B&M, and he was. I told him it was cool to meet him and great job on a fantastic coaster! I'll be updating pictures throughout tonight! You can't hide from Diamondback! A bunch of red steel all over Rivertown. 230ft of awesome THE point of no return! Cresting the hill... After a few rides, I decided to get some pictures from around the park! This is where the on ride photo is, heading up into the MCBR Off the ride and ready for my next! This guy was my buddy the whole day. First seat of choice...last seat on the right. Oh man...I'm in the station! Reach..you can almost touch the water! Reclining in a B&M seat....pure comfort. Lift hill enthusiasts...I didn't forget you! It's steep...... First train of the day (Hey PKIBoy!) And yes, it's sprinking. After years of anticipation....B&M master-work has reached Kings Island! Run....run to Diamondback!!

Expect a great photo spread of Diamondback tomorrow! Keep a spot open on the front page -JZ

Let me know when!

Well, you buy one from me or Jared (Which isn't happening)....or you make one yourself

Who wants a pov? http://www.wlwt.com/video/19207520/index.html Oh, and another video http://www.wlwt.com/video/19207520/index.html

I'll be working...or visiting! I'll let you know! --JZ

Total hours of employee ERT this season.....5. From 3-6 today. And I'm on vacation Sunday I'll be there to ride, though!

Kings Island on the 4th of July for my birthday....two in one! Pretty cool riding Son of Beast, cresting the hill as the fireworks went off; and seeing like, 8 other displays going off in the distance.

I find the Drinky Crow Show hilarious! And that's pretty much about a suicidal alcohol and sex addicted crow and his monkey friend! It sucks, but I think it's kind of funny. He's sitting in a chair that says "Sit back and relax" and a woman falls on him.

Technical correction: all tournament guns are capable of firing 10+ bps. It's all in how fast the person can pull their trigger. Velocity refers to how fast each ball is going (usually capped between 280-320fps depending on the tournament and field). Ah, yeah...you're right. I'm still trying to get used to all the terms, picking up new stuff here and there. But there were MANY hot guns during the tournament. The refs weren't doing a great job checking guns. One gun even shot through a dude's mask! Quite a bloody sight. I think the most popular gun there was the Ego. Those things are pretty awesome! I think I'm in the most expensive hobbies out there....photography, paintball, theme parks, skiing, and guitars.

Down at Disney's Wide World of Sports? That's still pretty damn awesome!

Thanks for the comments, guys! There shouldn't be too much worrying about being hit, unless you're point blanked with one of these guys' guns. Or when it's at a velocity higher than 10 balls a second. I've seen some NASTY blood blisters/welts. I got shot atleast 7-10 times from strays, or just the line of fire moving to where I was, haha. Only 2 or 3 left bruises, just little ones! I think it's exciting! Gets your adrenaline going..
