Dave and Maggie Altman emerge from the shaded enclave at the end of Kings Island's Diamondback roller coaster looking simultaneously drained and exhilarated. Their hair wind blown and mouths agape, the husband and wife look at each other and smiled the triumphant look of survivors. "It was wonderful," Dave said, waving both fists in the air. The Altmans, like so many around them, survived, if not conquered, the Diamondback. After months of anticipation, the tallest and longest roller coaster in the Kings Island's history was unleashed today, April 17 in a special preview for enthusiasts. "It's like Christmas morning," said Greg Scheid, Kings Island general manager. "I couldn't be more excited." Scheid said he expected 14,000 to 15,000 people to ride the Diamondback each hour during it's official opening day on Saturday, April 18. Walter Bolliger, architect of the Diamondback, called the ride "perfection." "There are few charms it doesn't have," Bolliger said, citing the track's detour Into the Woods, the water feature that provides an added splash at the end and the unique open air seating that will allow passengers to have unobstructed views from hundreds of feet in the air before they begin racing downward. The $22 million steel coaster stands at 230 feet tall at its zenith, with a first drop of 215 feet. Riders will fly at up to 80 miles per hour, traveling more than 5,282 feet for nearly three minutes. The Altmans traveled from Pittsburgh for the thrill of the new ride. Dave is the vice president of the American Coaster Enthusiasts, an international organization of thrill lovers. The Altmans said the Diamondback won't replace the Beast as their all-time favorite roller coaster, but it is still a fantastic ride. "It's a long-time coming," Dave said. "The park has really deserved a coaster like this. Not many coasters are being built right now because of the economy, but it was worth the wait." Ray Pfeffer, of Cincinnati, rode the Diamondback multiple times in various seats throughout the car. He noted that the center provided the best "air time" - time spent pulled from the seat, providing a free floating feeling - while the rear gave more jolt. The front was the smoothest part of the ride, Pfeffer said. "This is the way it should be done," Pfeffer said. "Everybody's floating out of their seat. It's going to be a big hit."

It's for safety reasons so then you have to wait.
Sex is like a roller coaster... You wait an hour for a two minute ride.
Try changing the time on your CPU I have no idea if it works
I would wait about 2-3 hours at least it will give your stomach time to settle then you can make that decision.
If you are late in the pregnancy I would imagine the roller coaster can be quite uncomfortable along with anything you are turned upside down in. The rest is just for what the individual feel. As far as I know there's no ride particularly dangerous to a pregnant woman.
when you get bonuses or when your making good money you put a bit of money in your ride research and say you put 1900 on it wait about 3-4 years and it should nearly be there if you are at the roller coaster
Sure, if you are going to give birth to a milk shake!! C'mon - get real - While pregnant, certain precautions have to take place to prevent injury of your internal organs and the development of the fetus. This is one of the inconveniences of pregnancy ... wait until after your child is born, then resume all the activities you missed out on.
It's simple if on an old wooden coaster probably better in the back... you get a larger drop. If on a dueling coaster make sure to sit in the front for the better ride. For a powered launch coaster it's OK. anywhere but if you wanted to wait for it go for the front seat. For any "modern" ride I would sit in the front. However, for earlier rides and some steel coasters it will be better to sit in the back. It's up to you! If the ride has a short line I would try both seating arrangements. Hope this helps!
1. Put a NO ENTRY sign of a entering dection behind the gate 2. Wait for peeps to come 3. When the peeps is penting to leave, they see the words NO and ENTRY 4. I hope you happy about that! ;)
Well as far as i know it fixes itself. Just complete stuff and it should happen about 1/4 of the way through the game.

The day after if you really want to. Really? Can you be serious. How about ask your doctor and wait the 4-6 weeks for exercise besides walking. The day after if you really want to. Really? Can you be serious. How about ask your doctor and wait the 4-6 weeks for exercise besides walking.
