Reader reviews of Diamondback
Diamondback is smooth and even though the first drop seemed over fast, I loved the second hill airtime - Bradley Keith OMG amazing.... one of the best coasters ever.... smooth, fast and just so much fun.... - bryan shepard Diamondback is just amazing! Smooth as silk, fast as wonder, airtime... One of the best! - SFOG Goliath Diamondback is truly a prototype of what a Simple Steel Coaster is All About. Extreme Heights, Extreme Speeds, And Most of All, Extreme Air-time. Great Seating, Very Comfortable instead of the Lap Bar Being like on your stomach, it's more on your knees, and the splashdown is brilliant, if you read the map and read that you shouldn't ride in the AM hours, that's only half-true, because it makes other rides look lame, Also the line maybe an hour long, it feels a lot faster than that. I had ridden the ride 3 times when I was there. That ride makes Holiday World's Voyage, Raven & Legend look like kiddie rides. B&M Thank you for making this ride. - Larken Parr Definatly a fun ride, but it would have been a lot better if the final half was as good as the first half. The ride looses its speed too quickly as is missing a helix. The ride delivers a lot of good airtime, and is extremly smooth. Definatly worth a ride if you are at King's Island. If you liked Apollo's Chariot or Nitro then I would highly recommend Diamond Back. - Chris Gottschalk Super smooth, but kind of on the boring side for me. I guess after being at Cedar Point the day before, not much will compare. I loved the ride, but like I said a little too blah for me. And at night KI did not iluminate its supports so it is too dark. - Adam Clinard Super smooth, but kind of on the boring side for me. I guess after being at Cedar Point the day before, not much will compare. I loved the ride, but like I said a little too blah for me. And at night KI did not iluminate its supports so it is too dark. - Adam Clinard Kings Island's massive new steel coaster is a sure-fire hit. The coaster dishes out so much airtime that it can really feel like you are flying out of your seat at speeds over 80 miles per hour through the woods. No roughness at all. It's very intense from start to finish, and this bad boy can really munch even long lines. The only flaw is the seats they use sometimes don't work for larger people. I didn't have a problem with it, but some might. - Jon Williams My first ride was in the middle of the train and it was less than memorable. My second, third, fourth, etc. were all in the very back and WOW. Definitely ride in the back - you get better speed and much more airtime, which is what this ride is all about. - Erin B Smooooooth ride with great hills and high speed. The line moves quickly and the ride just looks impressive. Worth a moderate-long wait. - Byron Smith
