Midgetman82 Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Old seats weren't much of a complaint from me, but can't deny the new sleekness. Very nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Great refresh for the nearly decade old ride. It's one of the most popular attractions at the park, it deserves to look good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably cause the orange seats went to s**t from all the nasty head grease. So this will solve that problem. It's not getting lost in the details, but noticing that those details needed to be changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytterbiumanalyst Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 The real question is how many new credits to count Diamondback with black seats. Are they all the same shade of black, or are there some blacker blacks than could provide a substantially different ride experience and therefore be another credit? I think to be safe, we should count this as 32 new credits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real question is how jealous are you going to be when I'm on the first train of the year in the new seats it's pretty much equal to being the first rider opening year who cares about credits it's about the first train of the day and the last train of the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

defrocker Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Diamondback is really getting ready to turn 10!? Man, I swear, rollercoasters make me feel old quicker than anything else. Like, I really didn't need BGW to tell me that Alpie was turning 20 this past year. That was the first coaster that I ever rode the year it was built... *sulks off wondering where time goes* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prozach626 Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 they could make them orange like old ones, I do not understand why they get lost in details like theseblacks are really ugly FINALLY!! I feel like we had to wait way too long for someone to complain about the seats! The real question is how jealous are you going to be when I'm on the first train of the year in the new seats it's pretty much equal to being the first rider opening year who cares about credits it's about the first train of the day and the last train of the day Thank you! I enjoy reading between the lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cal1br3tto Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Diamondback is really getting ready to turn 10!? Man, I swear, rollercoasters make me feel old quicker than anything else. Diamondback opened the day after I joined TPR! Crazy how it both does and doesn't seem "new." I wasn't expecting to have particular feelings about the new seats, but I like 'em.

prozach626 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 B&M's hold up really well. Aside from a little paint fade, the ride still seems new and exciting to me. I've only been riding it for 4 or 5 years and it's definitely my favorite hyper. I'm curious how it will hold up to Skyrush this summer, since I'm more partial to smooth, fast, and comfortable, vs. smooth, fast, and bucking bronco.

Philrad71 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 ^ Skyrush is definitely a different animal, that's for sure. I need to get back there soon to try it out a few more times. The first time that I rode it, I wasn't a fan, but the 2nd time was more fun. I would like to try one of the inner seats next time too. I305 was like that for me as well...I didn't like it before it was re-profiled because of the grey-outs. After the re-profile and a few more rides since, it has grown on me a lot to the point where I now have it in my Top 5 coasters. Count me as a Diamondback fan too. Great coaster and I dig the Halloween-looking trains/seats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think honestly you'll probably like Diamondback a little better. They're very different rides, and are excellent for different reasons. Diamondback does the classic roller coaster stuff to perfection. Skyrush will change your expectations of what a roller coaster can do. But what's really important is that both parks have a beer man.

Arthur_Seaton Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 I'm curious how it will hold up to Skyrush this summer, since I'm more partial to smooth, fast, and comfortable, vs. smooth, fast, and bucking bronco. I'd be surprised if Skyrush won out here. I tend not to rank coasters, but Diamondback is way up there toward the top for me — maybe even my favorite coaster period. That's because all its airtime is drawn-out and very smooth, and the whole ride is just enjoyable and fun from start to finish. I found Skyrush to be the exact opposite, even though I still rode it a whole bunch of times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not getting lost in the details, but noticing that those details needed to be changed. I have to agree. Visited in 2010 and then again in 2016 and you could see how bad those seats in the head rest area had deteriorated over those years turning them black and making them look ugly. Thankfully the seats had nothing to do the airtime thrills it provides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
