Kings Island Diamondback Coaster Support Beams Shaking

[RocketRodder]

Just because it's NATURAL doesn't mean it isn't SCARY to see!

This is Naturaul on wooden and steel coaster if they do not shake they are doomed to fail beause they can not get rid of all of the stress. if you look even closer... you can see the track on the first drop wiggle a bit

All rollercoasters move like that

[RocketRodder]

You think that's crazy, stare at the pylons that support the boomerang of a boomerang coaster. They jiggle like a vibrator!

[RocketRodder]

Oh, so are these probably, if you stared at them close enough.

dragsters track and supports shake like half a foot to the side on the way up after the train its pretty cool, if it didnt bend then they would crack and brake, thats why tall buildings sway also

the yellow one by the splash i touched and my arm was killing for a week

[Coasterfreak1456]

This is normal. It must shake even otherwise can lead to hurt ... In the worst case it can happen Diamondback collapses if it does not wiggle.

Wooden coasters wiggle even when you look closely ;-).

Thanks for the info. That's pretty much what I had stated in the information section of the video.

cool!! i was right under the support and it wobbled! its meant to that cuz of the weight of the train

[topthrilldragster420]

i was right next to a support when it came down and it wobbled cuz of the weight of the train its really cool

a guy died from a heart attack on that recently

[CincinnatiGifts]

I think that was Firehawk

[Buckey43]

no that was on firehawk

[DarkoJZ]

I've been waiting for a video of this stuff!

[Buckey43]

i rode it a couple days ago it had tech dificolteys they fix in 15 min

[17rzr17]

the ride is just so massive and tall that its normal for that to happen when having the train go down the hill

[fitegrl13]

ive ridden it 15 times and no problems

[CincinnatiGifts]

You likely never will experience a problem with it. Theme park rides are among the safest thrill rides ever built. The metal supports are likely designed to sway and flex slightly. As my friend says often, "If it can't flex, it's only other option is to break."

My friend, BTW, has ridden it close to 80 times, and will have reached 100+ by the end of July '09.
