That is not the full station. That is a holding break before the station. They have half of it done.

I tuned into the cam and it showed the brakes AND what look like most of the station track all in place and then the view changed really quick to a view of the splashdown. Guess it's off now?

I know I am so far behind on posting my thoughts on Diamondback (due to being on the East Coast Trip) but here are my thoughts: I used to not be a B&M hyper fan. I thought they were all just mediocre coasters with occasional pops of floater air. However, after riding Behemoth I am excited for Diamondback. I definitely don't think it will be as good as an Intamin hyper and would have liked to of seen a more unique coaster (I love unique coasters by the way) but I can't wait for it. As far as the layout, theming, trains, and concept art - it looks like the best B&M Hyper. Hopefully I will be able to make it out to King's Island for my first time next year for something actually worth riding.

I'm glad they're building it because it's the only one like it in Ohio as far as I know. This will make me definitely plan a visit to King's Island on next year's Cedar Point trip. Next week is my first B&M hyper(Nitro) and I'm so looking forward to it.

Hopefully this hasn't been mentioned before. Sorry if it has.
I'm not sure how long you guys are watching the web cam, but it changes positions about every minute.
It's cycling through like 3 or 4 positions.

Well, the splashdown is going to be...well, I'm just going to need to see how it's going to go up. It looks like it will be very short because the coaster is going to go OVER a major pathway. It needs some clearance! And then it needs to jump back up 40ft into the brake run. I really just need to see how this is going to unfold.
