Kings Island - 2009 B&M Hyper Construction

I dont believe that they are gonna "screw them together" because that would defeat the purpose of it being a transfer track.

Im jealous that you're that close. I could go a lot if I wanted, but I live about an hour and fifteen minutes away. You live right there I do know that more than likely I'll be there for opening day next year!

Sorry for the double post, but this post is different from the one above.

I just wanted to point out that KIExtreme has some great photos of the brake run assembly: http://www.kiextreme.com/gallery/thumbn ... ?album=334

The first part of the brake run is steeper than I thought it would be.

Taken Today between 3:30 and 4:00 pm:

Apparently the curve from the brake run to the station is almost in place.

Apperently the turn into the Station and the Station is complete:

The track is going up fast.

Sorry to double post but the stuff is up and moving on the webcam. And i saw some trucks and stuff. No track yet but keep your eyes open.

^They do little odds and ends on Friday's, but nothing major like support or track installments on Fridays, Saturday's, or Sunday's.

Sorry for the double post but I need to update this thread:

From August 26:


From Today:

Wide view:

all i can say is AWESOME! KI's finally getting a new coaster, and the fact that it is a B&M Hyper is just great. KI's definitely where i'm heading next summer.

Go Diamondback!

I am truly excited for this ride. I love the layout, looks really fun, really crazy, and the water brakes on a BM hyper is a cool way to get a ride to slow down, global warmings a biatch aint it?

So I was reading a Media Kit Press Release that I got at KICentral day and it had 2 different still views of the ride not seen on kidiamondback.com

I'll get them up here today after school.

Work is underway on the lift/drop supports, and some of the ravine supports. [peakhill]

And in some shots you can see the crane sitting back behind the pathway (close to the ravine, by The Crypt): http://www.kidiamondback.com/public/dow ... webcam.cfm

The Lift hill supports are what is being put up now. They are also working over by the Ravine.

Looks amazing...can't wait to ride next season!!!

Strike my "Lift Supports" comment, the splashdown is the main deal now!

More splashdown goodness! The trench is filled in now and the rise to the brake run has been started.

gah, im so excited for this ride. looks really fun.

The lift supports are going up!

^They got right back to work, even with the mass power outages!

Yea they said that will be their goal for this week.

The first turn at the bottom of the 230 foot drop is complete!

You can also see this in the webcam here> http://www.kidiamondback.com/public/dow ... webcam.cfm

It's going up fast so far!
