Type of Coaster: Sitdown
Height: 7.5 feet
Inversions: None
Ride Elements: Helix, Horseshoe, Lift Hill
Number of Trains: 1 train with 6 cars
Completed: September 7, 2009
As our last project before college and maybe last major project in our knex careers, Ben (coastercrazy10) and I (pkiknex25) have teamed up under the direction of Adrenalin Coasters to build Diamondback, the new B&M hyper at Kings Island for 2009. Standing over 7 feet and 6 inches, this monster's ride cycle lasts about 20 seconds from top of lift to base of the lift. Diamondback features 144 feet of track, 6 airtime hills, a total of 10 drops, a hammerhead turn-around, and 2 upward helices. Pushing Knex and its limitations to the max while keeping to a decent relative scale, Diamondback puts itself in an unmatched league of its own!

Awards/Contests:
2009 Model of the Year Contest Winner
2009 SSCA Best Coaster (of the Year)
2009 SSCA Best Model of All Time
2009 Ultimate Top Model
2010 March Model Madness Champion

This looks really good, but he last helix looks kinda of rushed. i know you guys didnt have a lot of time but it looks kind of sloppy. other than that, looks awesome. my chances at moty just went down he drain.
