I am completely smitten with what I've seen of Diamondback so far. These types of coasters are my faves.

It looks to me like the shadow is from DarkBox: The Ride.

I hope to God this thing's better than Nitro. Looking at Behemoth, it looks like that train flies over those airtime hills, and I'm hoping that this isn't too much different than that. If this is another Nitro...blech.

Still, the thing looks massive. Period. I don't think anyone can argue with that.

Behemoth was amazing, another step up and I am for sure going out of my way to ride it.

You can already see a support and a little bit of the track from the interstate in front of KI (I drove by this afternoon), and it's going to be a lot taller! This will really change the skyline on that side of the park...

Diamondback is coming up quick, I'm definately making a trip out to Ohio next year. I still haven't been on Maverick and the fact that a new B&M is coming up at KI doesn't hurt. :)
