Diamondback • Kings Island

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.

Airtimes First Drop Comfort

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

Airtimes Lap Bar Layout Rattle

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.
