Diamondback Review with photos and video

[angryemobeaver]

I'm going to post all my trip reports all season, first one is KI opening day part 1.

 

I left my house Friday at 3:30pm. and picked up Mitchell and left for KI. Got my pass processed and went to Skyline and hung out with alot of my Coaster buddies, got presents! Than Went to the hotel and went to bed. Woke up at 5:00 am. Brian picked us up and got some sweet tea and waited for the parking lot to open. Once it opened we got a good spot and ran to the entrance. Waited a few hours and talked to other enthusiasts. Once they released us to go to ERT we were at the front of the crowd by Scooby Doo. We waited about 20 Minutes in the queue for Diamondback and the rest of the day was amazing!

 

Line for Season pass Processing on Friday Night.

Worth it though.

Now Skateboards in there.

Waiting for the park to open.

Waiting for our ERT to begin. I was at the front.

My first very close view of Diamondback

One of the first trains of ERT

One of the test seats, and I don't like that Ride Operator...

I walked through the whole queue til' about here, than I waited about 20 or so minutes.

The mister fans didn't work.

I love this photo.

Single Rider lane is amazing.

The anti-roll back system.

Back seat is amazing here!

The station reminds me of Mavericks.

Same goes for the gift shop.

Crypt looks great!

The airtime in the back seat on this hill is amazing.

You can even see the airtime!

Same goes here!

The park opened in about 10 Minutes and I was walking to SOB and trying to get the first train but by Delirium the running of the bulls came and they ran to Diamondback and SOB. So I got the fourth train.

You'll get some Arrow-time on Seat 7-1

Got 3 rides on Red Racer that day.

Some duckies.

Ew.

Best coaster in KI!

Awesome Performers!

More airtime!

I believe I took this from KI&MVRR

I ♥ this photo.

The forcefull section

The hammerhead wasn't as foreful as I was hoping.

Diamondback from KI&MVRR

There is a house in there

More performers.

Wings? Whats that?

SOB is great this year.

Top Gun had a huge queue!

 

Part II coming soon!

Great TR so far! Thanks for the photo of The Crypt's entrance. lol

 

Where is the best place to sit on SOB, in your opinion? I think I'm going to try for a back seat next weekend... (I haven't ridden it back there since SOB was equipped with Premier trains, and I actually liked it.)

Thanks! Front seat is best on SOB. I tried 6-1 (7-1 Is the magic seat on Vekomas and Arrows, but SOB only has 6 Cars.) And it was awful.

Part II

 

Well I thought I took alot more photos, but I guess not. Also, I'm in the process of making a video but it'll probably suck since I have never made one. Does anyone know how to have music in it without youtube deleting it?

 

Diamondback's sign looks much better with all the detail!

Paul, Zach, Ty.

Danielle.

Paul making a weird face with a ride op. looking at him.

Ty making a weird face with a ride op. looking at him.

Comparing cameras, Paul has the same as mine but an older one, Ty and Zach have the same as mine, but Ty's is silver, and Danielle is lame and doesn't have one.

About to go to Racer Red and after that Crypt, and than a Last ride on Diamondback.

One last photo of Diamondback!

 

Sorry for the bad quality, My new camera is great but I didn't have a tripod and wasn't on night mode.

Just a suggestion to remember to update the "Description of the Topic" in your first post whenever you post an update. It makes your thread easier to follow.

 

Good luck with the thread and your travels this year

Nick, do you have a Canon PowerShot? In the pictures where you guys were comparing cameras, it looked like it. I have an older PowerShot (model A560). Is that the camera you used when you were taking shots of a moving coaster train? For some reason, a lot of times, the faces are blurry on my pictures.

I have a Canon Powershot SX110 with 10 Optical Zoom and 5 Digital zoom, with 9.0 Mega Pixels. It's a great camera, and wayyyy better than my old one! I realize the night photos aren't good, but I wasn't using a tripod, nor was it sitting on something or on night mode. It was just on auto and I was hand holding it.

The pictures are great! They are getting me all excited for my August trip out there. I surely can't wait to ride that thing!

Awesome photos! I agree, the 110 is an awesome camera! I got one for my daughter recently. There are so many features on it, and if you are not on the right setting, it def gets all weird. (But hey, sometimes that is cool!) I happen to really like that last one. Great PTR!
