Glad to see people aren't bitching up a storm about the skeletons here. It's getting out of hand on the KI sites, people saying they may not renew their season passes because of it, screaming about how "disgusting" it is, etc. Personally, I think they're funny. There's much, much worse at local, independent haunted attractions.

Some new photos of Diamondback's testing! http://www.kiextreme.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=376 All photos taken from off park property. It's big! (that's what she said...) Third hill! First drop!

The passholder preview night was cancelled, now they're doing 30 minutes of Gold/Plat passholder ERT every morning.

If you're interested in current photos, I have aerials from yesterday's flyover. Went by on the way to KI.

All the pics are here: http://www.kiextreme.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=368 Here's some highlights! It was pretty gray and snowy out, in case you didn't notice.

KIC is having their thing on Jan 31, and then there's ACE Winter SOAR on Feb 7th.

I'll be having large photo updates from construction tours on Jan 31st and Feb 7th. They've been making major progress. It's possible that track assembly will be done by then, at this pace.

All construction tour photos here: http://www.kiextreme.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=362 Almost to the top. Tallest support is in place, now to get the peak track installed... Massive lift towering over the park, as seen from by the front gate Giant crane with the tallest lift hill support behind it Money shot! Supports "deadman" footer for the hammerhead Another look at the second drop pullout Back in the hammerhead turn area Bottom of the second hill will go through here Looking across the ravine from the back road Support for the helix into the MCBR

I'll have a major photo update from the KIE/ACE Diamondback construction tour yesterday up tomorrow. We went down and across the ravine and all the way back to the hammerhead.

That's not quite right. That yellow support on the left will be the TALLEST support on the coaster, and will be right before the peak, not after the peak. Anyway, bunch of good pics from today: http://www.kiextreme.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=361 Overbank turnaround location Ravine progress Bottom of the first drop Massive lift climbing Aerial overview

That's the second highest support, not the highest. Few pics from tonight: http://www.kiextreme.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=360 Sorry about the quality on the first two. The light was like nonexistent, but I was determined to get a lift hill pic. I tweaked them as best I could but they're not great. Diamondback... and feet! More giant lift hill. This thing towers over Rivertown. Lift. Big lift.

I don't miss the damned geese.

Few photos from Don Helbig, taken today (The 6th): http://www.kiextreme.com/gallery/index.php?cat=46&page=1 Working on the lift Working on the lift Lift track Lift track

MAJOR new progress! All photos from today are here: http://www.kiextreme.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=345 First supports installed in the ravine. Nearing the bottom of the second hill, and a low support for the return run. Starting up the second hill Bottom of the first drop support Big-ass crane

Webcam screwed up and showed a blurry view that shows the base of the crane.
