First drop is what it's all about, feels like you are floating in air as you pop out of your seat at 80mph , awesome!
Year after year, diamondback does not disappoint. If you like thrill rides , this is a must. Read more
If you are handicapped, check to see if you can ride this first. The ride manufacture doesn't allow people with leg braces to ride, even if they have been on it in the past.
This B&M coaster sports speeds around 80mph , a 215ft drop, and over 5,200 feet of track . Ride in the front and put those hands up!
A great hyper coaster that's not scary. Plenty of air time.
The front is worth is & very fun & smooth ride but not my # 1 favorite ride. That's the beast for me!! :$)
Sit in the back its amazing. I actually love that they give you an assigned seat.
Biggest hill and you get a little wet from the water at the bottom of the biggest hill .
Best roller coaster I have ever been on.
If there was only one ride you could ride a second time, make it this one
Front seat makes it a whole different ride experience.
I really like this ride. Very smooth, Great elements, just an overall wonderful coaster. Read more
Such a smooth ride . Fast, fun...
The back is the best! It's the fastest
The smoothest coaster in the park . I prefer the very front!
Just rode 5 times in a row in less than an hour with fast pass. Definitely worth $50.
The left side of the second row is the best seat, great views throughout the ride.
Fast and the first two drops are awesome. One of my favorites
THIS IS A MUST!!!
Sit in the last seat and grab your feet going down the first hill . It's a rush!!!
Best time to ride...when its a light rain....
The front row is great!
It's too smooth.
The front seat is without a doubt worth any and all wait.
Every child 10 & under, yet 54" & taller gets a free live diamondback snake to take home. Such an inventive tie in Kings Island !
The drops are CRA ZY
Warning: groups often abuse the single rider line . If the queue is half full or less you'd might as well wait in the regular line . A full queue is no more than 45 minutes wait!
Ride front seat at night! Totally wicked! Makes it look like ur dropping in2 nothingness on second hill
grrrrrrrrreat ride
singles line is scam if your in a group.......passed a group of kids that jumped in singles line easy before us
Totally awesome!
If you want to get wet you must ride towards the back. Front and middle get nothing.
Ride front and move your feet like you're running! It's hilarious!
If you ride front row sooo worth the ride :)
Second best roller coaster in the park
Best ride in the park .
Be sure to ride the back
fans that blow the water are awesome.....needed more in the park !
If you don't have to ride with your friends, skip the long wait and go in the singles line .
It's fun to ride in the dark. :P
ride it. ITs fun and the back is the best!
Splashdown
Must ride with hands in the air and feet up
FRONT SEAT BOOMING !!!
Sit in the front for an amazing view .
Almost always has a long line . Try to go later in the day or first thing in the morning to avoid the lines . Freaky at night!
It's amazing at night!!!!
Ride front!!
best ride ever
Back car...hands up...all the way
This was my daughter's favorite. Had to ride the historic wooden coaster. And I have to say, it was amazing. Speeds were amazing for wooden. - Dannielle Brun
chlorine makes your feet very dry then the concrete will rip them up so flip flops, sandals, or water shoes are almost a must! - Hannah Reid
By far my favorite ride. The take off is so quick and the inside of the ride is unique! - Leah Warner
This is my favorite ride. I love riding in the front (forward first). - Kim Morgan
One of my 2 favorite rides in the park. Fast, fun, exciting and well worth the wait in line. The shed is a bit of a let down, but it’s ok, the rest of the ride is perfect. - Amanda Korb
