    I actually worked on building the Diamond back. I did all the drilled pier inspections and tested the concrete. In college I worked at Kings Island as a summer job for 4 seasons, being there when the Beast first opened up!!! I've gone there since 1972 when the park opened and almost every year since.

    After a few rides in other seat locations, I sat front seat for two rides on this a few years ago. It was unreal. IF you can convince your mind to trust physics and that weird, triangular bar at your waist and what feels like a bicycle seat underneath you, then hanging your legs and arms out, spread-eagle style, down that first drop and back up to the second peak, is something special. WoooHooooo!!!!!

    I enjoyed it very much! But the last time of was there I road the beast, the new Woodie 2-times each at night so the next visit I'll do it again plus hit Diamond Back and the New One 2-times each at night as well! I've always loved going to KI since back in the 80's but the thrill I missed the most, 'literally,' was son of beast! I'd always call KI before I'd plan to visit! Was always told the Son of Beast was operating but when I'd get there! It was not! Pissed me off! I go back so far going to KI the Bat was up and running back then! Sad!

    I was deathly afraid of this ride too until I finally rode it this year. For the first drop, just try Beast near the back first. If you ride Diamondback near the front then it will just feel like every other roller coaster drop you've done, just a bit steeper. Racer also has very similar airtime to DB but DB's is just incredible and definitely something you shouldn't deprive yourself of.
