Diamondback - Kings Island 2009

Diamondback is Kings Island's newest coaster, set to debut in April 2009. The ride reaches a height of 230 feet and a top speed of 80mph on its 5,282 foot long track. The $22 million dollar Bolliger & Mabillard hyper coaster is Kings Island's largest single investment since its opening in 1972. Diamondback utilizes Bolliger & Mabillard's new hyper train style, currently in use on only one other coaster (Behemoth at Canada's Wonderland) and will be the first hyper coaster to feature a splashdown. Bolliger & Mabillard is recognized as the leader in high quality roller coasters, having 20/50 steel roller coasters on the Amusement Today Top 50 Steel Roller Coasters list, more than any other manufacturer.

how did you make it

[codytdwt]

I was 11 when I rode diamond back in 2010 All I could think of coming down was "THIS IS HOW IM GOING TO F**KING DIE " a minute after I get off I have a headache and a hair that looked like it was struck by lighting

This simulator is so realistic, I could actually feel the G-forces!

How did you make it.

Thx.

@Beast1317 Its not the same thing. The layouts are completely different. Diamondback is 230 feet tall, while Intimidator is 232 feet tall. I'm pretty sure Diamondback has a bigger drop, though.

[Beast1317]
