[kaboda317]

i rode this yesterday(as in june 9th, it's 12:05 a.m. right now), and i am again today, actually! :)

[SeanFlaharty]

@kaboda317 - I hope you had a great ride on it.

[kaboda317]

@SeanFlaharty heck yeah i did!!! i got row 12, which is my favorite row and it was awesome!

[SeanFlaharty]

@kaboda317 - I got in a few rides last evening on a whim. Great as usual.

[kaboda317]

@SeanFlaharty ,yeah. some how it seems more intense than last year, and you can hear the roar better from the parking lot too.

[SeanFlaharty]

@kaboda317 - I agree. It does seem more intense. It's now broken in a bit more.

[kaboda317]

@SeanFlaharty That's what I was thinking it is. Sounds reasonable. :)

Im so glad they built this coaster! It's so smooth and isane. I used to only really ride the Beast and Vortex, but now I ride this. Plus other coasters.

[SeanFlaharty]

There is no doubt in my mind that Diamondback is one of those coasters that will have the same type of popularity as The Beast and Vortex. It really does fit well with that park doesn't it?

[Olmec1995]

@SeanFlaharty Haha I was thinking the same thing. I couldn't imagine king's island without it :D

[baseball789456]

diamomdback is the smoothis coaster at kings island it is nothing like the son of beast

[Missoldrunescape]

im probbaly going to be the first one thaty had open heart surgery to ride it cant wait for it. Even know i had open heart surgery i love rollercoasters

[SeanFlaharty]

How did you like the ride? I went to the park today and got in some more rides. It was running even better than last week.

[SKIIIING]

i hope ur okay

[Missoldrunescape]

going on it on saturday looks fun

[SeanFlaharty]

I am sure you will love it!

[djoiner2013]

WOW. I can't wait to ride this thing! I am going to King's Island the first Saturday of May and I can't wait! This thing will be so fun...though from the bottom views it doesn't look as high as does in the renderings. I'm sure I am very wrong. Lol and the HD quality of this video made it look unbelieveably and too amazing...great video

[SeanFlaharty]

Thank you!

The ride does look larger in person. As soon as you pull into the parking lot you realize just how much the park's skyline has changed.

[SeanFlaharty]

It would be cool to see that but I don't think it would work too well on this particular coaster.

[f1nn15h]

[SeanFlaharty]

Yes. You do see it don't you?

[41dorian]

[Alliem71]

This is awesome. It just gives me another reason to want to go to Kings Island this summer. I haven't been there in like 10 years. I can't wait! Thanks for posting.

[SeanFlaharty]

I have a feeling this may be my favorite ride there.

[sportygrl09]

[SpriggZ]

Badass video Sean. You've got to teach me how to do this!

[SeanFlaharty]

Thanks Aaron!

[HCLcoasters]

I can't wait to see these new trains.

[SeanFlaharty]

They are at the park now and will soon be on the track! I can't wait to see them running.

[sylvester7800]

Holy Crap. This is going to be a killer. Very close to Behemoth here in Toronto. Same company makes the coaster but i think this one is a little better then ours. AWESOME ride anyway. Nice build guys :)

[SeanFlaharty]

While I haven't been on Behemoth, I am very excited for this new B&M.

[sylvester7800]

My friend you will not be disapointed.The first drop is unbelievable,

[SeanFlaharty]

I can't wait!!

[babydumplinz]

what brand of HD camera did you use for your video

[SeanFlaharty]

I used a Sony HDR-HC1 that I purchased in 2005.
