EXCLUSIVE: Diamondback Testing

[teebone2010]

this is thee best ride at king's island!!!! i went two weeks ago and rode this for the first time in the front row!!! this ride is da bomb!! if i waited in line and this was the only ride i got to ride all day i'd be satisfied

[TetsuneSonic]

It seems they didm't turn the LIM on,Lovely braking noise

[bohrokthunder]

with the platinum pass you can go in any park owned by cedar fair and ride any ride for free and get in for free

[TheBflis1537]

i rode this today twice today june 21 and im 11

[hondahoss17]

when people say "thumbs up" it makes them sound like a MORON!

[waterski179]

id never ride that i o their so much with my friend if i went on it i would like pass out

[JustFace23]

Imma get on this bitch this year...

[apstephens97]

:D YAY this thing rules...... worst part is it doesnt make that wicked sound anymore

[zeabeauty101]

i love this ride.

[lekkeremodel123]

hier wil ik in :O

[Nuance84]

I actually preferred the behemoth over this... slightly better airtime

[nygiantsfanx36]

i never even rode this but it looks AMAZING

[khstechie]

Diamondback is Lame. I like the overbanked turn when it turns around but other than that it was lame. I liked the seating thou.

[F18Productions]

@khstechie How is it lame? It's one of the best coasters in the world.

[FunAndOnly]

@F18Productions LMFAO this ride sucks ass, magnum xl 200 is better than this

[F18Productions]

@FunAndOnly I'm not getting back into this... you can have your opinion and I can have mine.

[FunAndOnly]

@F18Productions lol u scared of getting ur balls wet?

[F18Productions]

@FunAndOnly Please, just go outside for once.

[FunAndOnly]

@F18Productions no u

[CoasterFactoryNL]

@F18Productions it is not...

[woodcoasterdude]

@khstechie your a fag just for saying that. you should be shot in your face

[FunAndOnly]

@khstechie i agree b&m hypers suck i like intamin and arrow hypers better

[ThePurpleMangos]

I love it when they make a new roller coaster. It gets you excited and gives you a reason to make your parents take you to kings island.

[FunAndOnly]

this ride sucks, its horrible b&m hyper coasters just suck ass

[Venomuskrat]

The Dominator was better too bad the nubs took it out

[FunAndOnly]

@Venomuskrat dominator was at geauga lake dumbass not kings island, but i still agree with u

[cornellious45]

I'm going there saturday

[angelandbranden]

Loooove it.! <33 (my third fav. at KI.((="

[angelandbranden]

Loooove it.! <33 (my third fav. at KI.((="

[angelandbranden]

Loooove it.! <33 (my third fav. at KI.((="

[habbokid707]

it was so fun!! and really smooth!

[41dorian]

this thing is the best in the front it's the view that gets you in the back it's nothing but air time plus when i rode it, it was a very hot day and i stuck my hand out the back and boy did that splash feel good

[WeHateThePatriots]

Butter-smooth

[Prim3StaR]

By far the best B&M I've ever seen. The hammerhead turn and the splshdown look really fun, too!

[drummer9990]

this is by far the best ride ive been on! it just glides over the track. it is awesome. I tell you. I flew from california to ride it. It was worth it!

[disacri]

le veramente na figada sta giostra!

[ccvsowl4ever]

diamondback is so smooth but i loved it (h)! i had a great time in cincinnati this summer :D!

[CoasterMan310]

at about 1:02 it looks pretty intense

[AliLovesSomeone]

this is the scariest rollercoaster at Kings Island. I got on it for the first time yesterday and omg. the first drop brought tears to my eyes lol n i couldn't catch my breath for the whole ride. It was worth the wait in line, but i'll have to work up my courage to ride it again.

[Joe3442]

you make it sound way worse than it is. I think it is probably one of the least scariest there. It is really laid back. Its not like its sudden or anythinng. In my oppinion, flight of fear is scarier cause watching the launch kindA freaks ya outg.

[RCTPatriot75]

I agree. For my money The Beast is still the most fun. There is just something about that legendary coaster.

[drummer9990]

i know. if you tare down the beast, I would cry

[Prim3StaR]

Why would they tear down Beast? Beast is one of the best wooden coasters ever built, not to mention a record holder for longest and fastest wooden coaster in the world. You must be thinking of Son of Beast. That coaster needs to go. How could such a great legend raise such a horrible son!? SoB needs to go, and soon.

[drummer9990]

i said if!!!!!

[howlidayuser]

that is one of the best ride i have ever ridden :) diamond back is amazing!!!

[jmonkeys2323]

i have ridden this ride 13 times!! it is an AWESOME RIDE!! i rode it today.

[IwannabeaROCKstar14]

That ride is totally wicked! I went there the other day with my best friend and rode it about 11 times! it was totally EPIC dude! You are so free in those seats man its like your flying!

[mcgranahan]

Dude, I couldn't have worded that better!  This ride RULES!!!! I've only rode it 4 times...but still awesome!!!!

[SavealltheWhales]

Thats why I'm afraid to ride it, because of the seats. It looks like your just going to fly over the front. They dont look too safe :|

[Joe3442]

how would you fly over the front?

1) you have restraints

Also, why dont they look safe. They are the same thing as any other ride, just in a different formation.

[Joe3442]

ha the best thing is there is hardly any line. I live about 30 minutes frome there and go there about every weak, and have ridden dimondback 28 times, not once was the line over 30 minutes long!

[alphawolf446]

I KNOW!!! Line waz shorter than delarium

[AndreaRojas1999]

doesnt have anything t o do with kings island but when me and my cousin went to the beach waterpark we saw this famous guy that rode "The Cliff" 12,564 times, right now he is probably already on 15,768 lol he has been going there every day for 19 years his name is charlie and he is on the website too!

[baseball789456]

get there a 9:00 in the mornig if you have a gold pass and you get ealy ride times on diamonback

[silenceinastorm12]

looks like a smaller version of the millenium force

[howlidayuser]

yup it is :)

[macauleecassaday]

they had this ride at canadas wonderland first we got it last year

[sportygrl09]

diamondback is similar to that ride but the ride at canadas wonderland dosent have a splash down ending.

[CMcIntosh85]

That is my single favourite sound. B&M cars roaring round a track.

[Sruhls3]

i know if ihad to sleep on one when it was moving i would

[dudethatreads4fun]

espescially when you arrive at a park early and all the rides are testing . . . it"s the sound of a great day to come ;D

[JK47Tubing]

This ride seriously kicks ass!! the first time I rode it, it blew me away. Every drop feels incredible. I rode it 9 damn times lol. =>

[DJicey100]

man i love this ride it rocks!!!

[sheiine]

Un HyperCoaster B&M avec un SplashDown !! oO Superbe !

[mechanonycal]

it looks scary but the airtime wasn't that intense like a wooden out and back. B&M coasters are designed so that they are extremely comfortable and smooth where riders only experience moderate g-forces in all 6 directions. amazing coaster, truly a work of art.

[AwesomeVal34]

It is awesome !!

j'ai trop envie de le faire : !!!

val

and hi!! awesomeness383

[awesomeness383]

How has the line wait been for that thing lately? Im going next week! WOOOO

[DMCoasters]

The line moves really quick. I waited no longer than 20 minutes.

[codykingo]

I've ridden it, it's AMAZING!!!!!

[RollerCoasterMan11]

cool i can't wait to ride it!

[kovacs1550]

it was awesome i recomend not holdong on it makes it more fun

[SunnyD1318]

It's true! The first time I rode it, I was so scared and I held on. But I let go the second time and it made it feel like I was gliding through the air! Whoo!

[xNoLiMiT23x]

I'm going to Kings Island on the 27th but I don't know about this ride tho

[toribelle17]

im scaredd as fuck to get on ittt:?

[hbk090]

its really fun i go to ki every weekend and thatsw the first ride i get on

[SunnyD1318]

I go often, too. This is my new favorite ride, too. :)

[Fitfatfoofite]

Too bad, sister.

[blondegurl818]

i love it

=)

[hummeralpha1]

im going in august its will be awsomeness!!!!

[dbhorn]

This ride is crazy im goin to KI this summer and cant wait to ride it :)

[star67platinumdancer]

the first few drops look scary. :)

[conan5567]

i may go sometime during the summer :D

[mcgranahan]

Yay! I'm going to Kings Island this Friday! I can't wait to ride this!!!

[xXxPMProductionsxXx]

i rode it the first day it opened twice! i got a t-shirt too LOL it's fun but lil disapointed cause all it has is the hills

[crazymagicman777]

i rode it better than appollo

[FizzySherbet]

It roars :O HOW COOL.

[1234567i8ter]

apollo is 500000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­0000000000000000000000000 times better than that

[m3m12]

this looks exactly like behemoth...

i think behemoth is taller though

[joshgc1]

This ride is a replica of the one at canada's wonderland, the behemoth !

[littledrummerboy3225]

i rode it too, it was awesome!

[cumptan69]

I rode this yesterday. It has plenty of speed and it feels like you are going to fly out of your seat on the drops.

[momjenna]

i have been on that it is fun not scary i also got the t- shirt

[Rosedragoon]

this kinda looks like raging bull from six flags great america.... is it anything like it?

[hnm97]

This coaster is AMAZING!

[SWATmanSalsa13]

ive rode it the drop lifts you out of ur seat

[codykingo]

The Voyage at Holiday World does that too. lol.

It's a crazy feeling.

[greekzebra14]

i remember when they were building that

[lillance785]

i'm going to kings island on the 26 yeah !

[kevi8587]

i reckon bush gardens africa will have something like this for their next coaster

[JoeJonasLover989]

this ride is soooo awhsome :D

[d9Prem]

awesome ride. been on it twice early in april. but yeah without any inversions, it is kinda dull. but the restraints make u feel like there are none which is amazing

[RockerChickLovesU]

this rollercoaster is so awesome! I have been waiting FOREVER just get a vid, (that's not animated of it!) I haven't rode it yet but I plan on riding it when I go to ki in may!

[dazybug]

Always great to see KI adding new coasters. It is nice to see the new owners at work to improve the park. Althogh it's sad to see 'old ki' being torn down to make way for the new. For example, the antique cars. Who doesn't have memories of waiting each year to see if you were tall enough to be able to drive for the first time? Or, how about the Enchanted Voyage, waiting to see if you'll get your first kiss with your date. KI has lost the magic it once used to have. Bring back the good 'ol days!

[MaximumPower01]

Honestly, I get bigger thrills from riding the Son of the Beast or the Beast, than I did riding this ride.

[MaximumPower01]

Total of 7 drops at speeds up to 80 mph, & a semi loop curve that shoots you back for the final 3 drops & a finale drop through a pool of water. PRO's: - VERY smooth - Extremely fast - Ride time is 2-3 minutes long - Lots of hills - Comfortable/open air seating -  & Very fast moving lines (waited less than an hour to get on). CON's: - Not nearly as good as advertised IMO - Seats could feel a bit more secure - Kind of boring, honestly, but it was ok

[ShopGirl377]

after about 1 or 2 it was only an hour wait, they just weren't giving out the shirts :/

[thekrokains33]

i rode it today w00t way woth the 6hr line

[char0226]

6hrs?? ouch! would never wait that long. the longest i waited was for mean streak at c.p. ,and that was 3hrs. I wouldnt even do that again (especially for the ride that it is now)!

[MSNGproductions]

lolz!!! i waited for 3 hours!!! :)

[MaximumPower01]

You waited 6 hours just to ride early?

I waited until after 6pm and rode it TWICE in less than an hour.

Glad we didnt wait during the daytime!

What a waste!

[theguru118]

wow kid it doesnt need corkscrews or loops to be man ride. the number 1 rated roller coaster in the world doesnt have any loops or shit. this ride is gonna be tight as hell so shut the fuck up you dont know anything about roller coasters. your probably not even tall enough to ride one

[MaximumPower01]

Gonna be tight as hell?

Meaning, you havent even rode it, to make a comment either way?

Sounds like you dont know what you're talkin about either, kid.

[huggiebear100]

This could be the greatest rollercoaster in the world.

[MKplayer7]

no loops corkscrews no nothing.. fucking baby ride man

[nyr36]

loud as fawk.

Cant wait. I'll be riding this a few days after Holiwood nights

Hope its better thanbehemoth.

[rockon330]

Listen to that thing roar. I will be there in 2 days! And will be getting in at 9. Proud Gold Pass member! YAY!

[dementedteddybears11]

bohemoth is sick but it dosent compare this has more featers and it has the water at the end. looks so sick

[JohnnyHedonics]

Behemoth is better....lol..j/k I would love to ride this but live in Toronto so I guess I'll have to settle for the good ole' Wonderland coasters again this year....cheers!

[TS2StevenProductions]

This will be my first B&M coaster to ride. I'm fucking excited as hell, me and my friends are going there the first day it opens. We're going to get to the park like 2 hours before it opens lol.

The roar on B&M coasters are epic, I've also heard they're really smooth.

[guitarshop29]

they're super smooth

your head barely even moves

[TS2StevenProductions]

Yeah I've heard that, I'm super excited too. I'll be there on Saturday.

When it comes to a KI visit I have like no life for the entire week lol.

[KillaTaboo]

[dwalker26101]

[cjwulf09]

[cjwulf09]

[djoiner2013]

hmm...doesn't look as high as it does in the ride renderings. but I'm sure i will rethink that when I ride-or see-it. lol

[woodencoasterfan]

I drove past KI a couple of days ago on my way to deliver my load in Alabama and I must say it looks impressive. I hope it won't shed any light on the Beast at night. THAT was one awesome first ride on the Beast for me.

[IndyBill71]

The Beast at night is an awsome ride!! Son of the Beast at nigh is a good ride but it doesnt have the hard feeling like the old beast

[fr00b955]

Are you speaking of the beast or the son of the beast?

[woodencoasterfan]

Why the Beast of course.

[darrylcthemaster]

son o beat is wacko beast all day

[luciano6967]

1:02 wow

amazing airtime

they could let it not to break with people too haha /jk :)

[cjwulf09]

[luciano6967]

cjwulf09: weightless feeling during a ride. BEST sensation ever :)

[bricemilleson]

something this coaster will have lots of hahaha

[popeye728]

this ride looks amazing. if it's runnin like this now, wait til they get people on it!

[rlucas11]

dude i drove by kings island that thing is freAKIN HUGE!!!!!!!!!!

[misslady3891]

i dont know about this ride only because of how the seats are made

[PriestessKaede]

Yeah it looks like if your a tiny person and your about to go on a curve....your screwed.

[cjwulf09]

these seats r so advanced it will b amazing!!! tiny people rnt even allowed on the ride, they have height requirments remeber??

[austinthebeast25]

[KingsDominionLvr]

KD will get a superior intamin hyper in 2010! haha

[popeye728]

[sc0G33e]

[magicusergirl]

i can't wait to go to kings island :D But there's no way in hell i'm riding that thing lol ^^; it looks too scary for me.

[LotusWeiWei]

my friend Kev wishes he was the waterhead dummy on it..LOL. As far as me, okay, eeks.

[BabyGirl7195]

I cant wait to ride the Diamondback!!!

I live about 30 to 45 minutes away from Kings Island.

I go there all the time during the summer when Kings Island is open.

[krayziebone1515]

yo are you fuckin retarded... first off no one has rode diamondback u shit... 2nd behemoth type stadium style seating is prototype your faggott... everythign on diamondback is the exact same shit head i work at canadas wonderland i know what im talkin about you broke ass

[festizioland]

that goes fast!!! I also hate how America always gets the better coasters :( (i live in canada:'( )

[xannaxxhxc]

that thing looks epic!

[Bigbro16]

Jesus, Man that thing is a monster......I can't wait to ride it

[stgelaisxavier]

Holy that thing roars!I wanna ride it

[ComedyForAllAges]

Thanks, enarroberto!I saw the picture! WOW! They are HUMOUNGOUS!

[tylerisftw]

[krayziebone1515]

ya'll gunna be waiting years to get on this lol i remember when behemoth opened lastyear... every other ride has no one, than behemoth, a million people lol.... anyways congrats on this

[joebcoolz]

it looks like the train is too big and slows down on the hills

[ComedyForAllAges]

Can you send me a picture of the restraints? I am a saftey freak, if I am not in tight, I will scream for MERCY!

[enarroberto]

look for behemoths restraints

there the same.

Lap Bars

[nitrousr34]

sweeeeeeeeeeeeet

[MIKE21260]

YEAH!!!!!!!!!! DiAMONDBACK!!!! it looks better than behemoth in this viD!

[ShockwavePictures]

I know alot about coasters,i just pick it up why?

[omfg567]

The MCBR will definitely slow the coaster down much more than in this vid.

[iamblzd]

and you know this how? because you know somebody that works at kings island in the engineering department of know someone directly from B&M? You shouldn't post assumptions. It makes sense to test the ride in accordance to how it will be operated, ie if they will trim it there it will most likely be trimmed in testing also to work out all possible bugs.

[omfg567]

I know this because Behemoth was tested at very high speeds with minimal brakes on the MCBR B&M uses there MCBR's to full extent and the one shown here barely pinches if touches at all. If they put a mid course brake run in they're going to use it more than that.
