One-hundred and thirty-eight pieces of track have been installed on Diamondback, leaving just three pieces (#119, #120 and #129) for workmen to install to complete the track work on Kings Island's new $22 million steel roller coaster.
The final three pieces of track are expected to be installed early next week. Pieces #119 and #120 will be placed after the second helix heading into the splashdown with piece #129 going in just before the breakrun heading into the station.
A plethora of new construction images have been added to the photo gallery, including photos taken from the top of the 230-foot lift hill. Be sure to check them out at http://www.kidiamondback.com/public/latest/gallery/
Only 84 more days until Opening Day!
