Diamondback Testing Video
« on: March 02, 2009, 01:07:07 AM »
Check out this awesome video of Diamondback traveling through the course. It looks like it has some good speed for only testing about a week now. It's aslo funny to watch how it runs with the MCBR turned off (at least it appears to be off).

Looks like a very solid ride.  Im glad they used the "hammer head" because I think that is by far one of the best parts of Nitro.

Diamondback looks better than Behemoth IMO

Can't wait to see the water and the finished landscaping.  This trip  should be fun with the Brady Kids.

The MCBR is off for the moment, but it will not operate turned off when in real operation. This Question was asked by one of the people who was on the tour in this video.

Agreed as is the drop off the MCBR in the back row, which is also duplicated on Diamandback.

The back row looks like it will have great airtime.

Yea I would imagine so. I was just saying now while it's testing it looks crazy flying through the MCBR.

Although I like the original B&M hyper trains better than these new ones, Diamondback's look a lot cooler than Behemoth's trains.

The snake fangs are pretty cool.  I like the set up of the new trains.   There's  more room to do stuff with your arms and not hit the person next to you.
