So some of you knew I headed up to Kings Island this past Friday evening into early Saturday afternoon. It had been a number of years since I had been there and will say the last time I went was a complete mess of a park but it seems that under new ownership the park has turned around for the better. I will say that as it stands now that I think Diamondback is about the best B&M Hyper I have been on. It has almost everything that I enjoy from floater to injector air plus it is complete darkness when night falls. I would say it is worth the trek to ride it. And I waited a mere 35 minutes total for 10 rides. I only used the single rider line for about three of those rides. I am even thinking about stopping back through on my way back from Holiday World next weekend when I take the Plunge for Charity.

I'm glad to hear Diamondback is all that its cracked up to be, but how about the rest of the park? Does Firehawk look nice in its new home? Was Delirium actually working? Does the Beast still suck complete ***?

That is just absolutely beautiful.

What are the chances you can set your Flickr preferences to allow viewing of the larger sizes?

Those pictures are awesome.

You should be able to view the pics in larger sizes now. If you look at the original size it will be a huge file. I think my contacts can even download the pics now. If you can not that by all means let me know.

Cool that worked. I love the pictures with the weird looking clouds in the background.
