[Diamondback FOF]

I like both the front and back seats. The front gives a smoother ride as the back on Diamondback seems to vibrate a lot. The front lets you hang over the first drop for a couple seconds. The back yanks you over the top which is really fun with your legs out, arms up, and eyes closed. The front gives you more ejector air, and the back is more subtle, but starts to pull you donw the hills once you're over the creats. I would go with the front, just because of the amazing view. But remember, it may have assigned seating, so there may be no choice.

I don't feel too isolated while riding. I actually prefer the outisde because you don't have someone right next to you. It seems more surreal.

Sounds like a typical B&M hyper to me then...no change.

From gray skies to beautiful sunsets to Carolina blue. Took this today (11-14-09) around 3pm. Looks like a couple more pieces of the turn have been added since yesterday.

The turnaround is almost done. That means we can start looking at the webcam again. ( And actually see progress)

Looks like the catwalks have been added on the 2nd trim.

What? Where?

Actually Diamondback was quite different to me because the front was ejector air (the middle 2 seats) and the back was more floater than anything. Apollo and Goliath are both closer to ejector in the back rows, although still really floater air.

And keep up the great pics guys, if I lived closer than I do I would be down there just as much. Plus having a temp job helps to fill up my days now.

I love how some people are trying to say that SF sold Nitro to Carowinds. They are nothing alike. The only element of similarity is very different.

[jasonwilson88]

^ Who are these "some" people. I haven't heard that insane claim but people are always apt to say dumb things.

Maybe they'll get some work done today without rain.

[lazor 22]

It was mostly more when the ride was announced, but still people comment on youtube videos about SF being so broke they had to sell Nitro.

I'd like to see them explain how the track got twisted in certain sections and got flipped so that the out and back is to the right instead of the left.

As I was driving this morning I noticed they are putting the next piece in the turnaround - it was being lifted up into place

[jasonwilson88]

I would imagine they would be able to finish the turnaround completely today if you're correct that they were lifting the piece. Can't wait to see the mid-course construction begin as they wrap this baby up!
