Diamondback POV 5K B&M Hyper Coaster Kings Island Mason, OH

#Diamondback is a #hypercoaster made by #BolligerandMabillard . But not just a hyper, its the best hyper coaster in the states. With the different staggered seating, the longer trains enhance airtime, and solid layout, this ride proves to be even better than its newer, giga, bigger brother Orion in the same park.🐍 Height:230ft MPH:80

Sweet! I'll be visiting Kings Island for my first time and I'm very much looking forward to Diamond Back.

[@simonandlola7713]

My favorite coaster of all time!

[@Chellz801]

I love these clamshell restraints

[@EastCoasters]

Hell yeah, thats the definition of “freedom”🥃

[@smote_his_ruin]

They are the best and should be the standard for almost every coaster

[@richardabkstorm9009]

That looks like an absolute airtime fest and I wish I was there for it...Fan-friggin'-tastic!! 👍🙏

[@amxreeL]

Oh definitely is. It’s my favorite ride at Kings Island. I consider it one of the best B&M hypers in America

[@EastCoasters]

Same here, it’s my favorite hyper.🥃

[@Novhlol]

@@amxreeL the Intimidator at carowinds is better

[@sixwon]

​@@EastCoasters agree, I have this one just over intimidator.

[@infrapriman]

[@ianschulze1461]

Such a great ride.

[@EastCoasters]

Indeed 🥃

[@sm-jones5911]

Love this ride!

[@PlancoandChill]

I legit just realized this is really similar to Candymonium at Hershey Park.

[@amxreeL]

When it’s so smooth that it doesn’t even shake the camera. Not even the intensity does

[@LilDiabloRob]

That was worth the long wait when I went 4 years ago lol.

[@jerryallen1768]

Been on this one. Cool ride. When it comes to Kings Island I love Mystic Timbers and the Beast best. Thanks for sharing

[@Deezhah_q]

Can’t believe I rode that lol

[@kennyconnerson]

you had fun right? this coaster holds a place in my heart even though its not the best i've ridden, it's probably still my favorite

[@theyluv_.michael]

Are the lines shorter due to the opening of Orion?

[@soon3064]

No, they still are pretty long.

[@alliescott5598]

The line is short on week days

[@MrFooFoo14]

Got 1 ride on it last Tuesday. Seems to suffer from downtime.

[@thatparaf1nn_kid]

What is the element after the first 2 hills called?

[@CoasterCrafter662]

I'd say it's a hammerhead turn.

[@Cyco-Dude]

WOW...I wish the brakes on Diamondback and Orion were like the ones in this video, they would be so much better. For whatever reason, they SLAM you to a stop right at the top of the FBR, so you can't enjoy that last pop of airtime. If you aren't holding on and bracing for deceleration, you get beat up by the lap restraint, then the back of the seat, in that order. :/

[@roaddogg800]

Excellent, has some similar elements of Mako in Orlando.

[@BvckGames]

Yea both r really good

[@dibble1331]

to anyone who says this coaster had a rattle - ofc it does, it’s name is literally diamondback

[@patrickstrahm05]

It called "theming." Lol😂

[@dougronald561]

The only coaster at KI that’s a little overrated. It’s just out and back with a splash. Nitro has a more complete layout with a helix and final bunny hills. Diamondback also has a noticeable rattle.

[@danielmiller9012]

Yeah good ride but give me The Beast, FoF, Orion , Mystic Timbers over it.

[@dougronald561]

@@danielmiller9012 yes definitely

[@kennyconnerson]

@@danielmiller9012 beast and fof over diamondback is wild but why people cry about diamondback having a rattle when the name of the ride is literally diamondback. diamondback rattle snake its literally supposed to have a rattle

@@kennyconnerson lol this is an odd take. No roller coaster is supposed to rattle. she's just old...but i'll take a rattle over a shake any day; it's still a smooth ride.

Your but is out the seat the entire time !!
