Diamondback • Kings Island

Airtimes Comfort Fun

Flat out airtime machine. Slight rattle in the back but it does not take away from the ride at all.

This BLEW ME AWAY!!! What a fantastic roller coaster. It's by far the best B&M Hyper I've ridden and it's in my top 3 currently which is amazing. What an awesome ride. It's got a slight rattle after the turnaround, but that doesn't effect the ride enough to have it as a con. And that splashdown in the back can get you wet which is awesome on a hot day... Go back row and enjoy your awesome ride!

Airtimes Comfort Fun Rattle

Lots and lots of floater airtime throughout the entire ride. Splashdown is nice too. A bit shaky, but that doesn't detract much from the ride.

I had one ride on this in the front and it was amazing. Great floater airtime, and no rattle at all. Long ride as well. Liked it a lot better than last year.

Airtimes Duration Capacity

I love the airtime and everything about this ride. Except the capacity. Diamondback rules!

Airtimes Location Layout

Diamondback is my second favorite B&M Hyper just behind Mako. I love the rides consistent floater airtime throughout its unique and great layout out in th woods. I love the splash down finale but do have one complaint. The ride is not well paced. The trim kills a whole lot of the speed with those long staggered trains and then the MCBR finishes the job. This probably wouldn’t have been an issue if I went in expecting the slower pace but I was expecting Mako. Still a great smooth Hyper with some awesome floater.

Airtimes Pace Fun

A bit of a one trick pony, but the airtime on Diamondback is quite strong. You haven't lived until you've put your arms out, Rose from Titanic style, in the back row. The splashdown is exhilarating when you do.

Airtimes First Drop Fun

9.3 out of 10! The best of this line of coaster, got airtime from front and back of the train. I do not like this type of train, so I am shocked of how good of rollercoaster this is.

Fast, smooth, lots of strong airtime hills. The trains and cars are well designed and very comfortable.

It seems as if the new seats have gotten rid of the rattle, or at least lessened it! It's much more enjoyable now.

First Drop Fun Disappointing! Layout Intensity

My least favorite B&M hyper. The airtime is only mild floater, and the boring, uninspired layout doesn't make up for it. The coaster peters out after the midcourse even more than before, with almost no airtime for the rest of the ride. It's fun, but feels mediocre in comparison to others of the model. Extremely overhyped.
