A test seat is located at the ride entrance which can be used to evaluate proper fit and comfort prior to waiting in line. Guests must have a minimum of three functioning extremities, including one functioning arm that includes a hand. Due to manufacturer requirements, a prosthetic leg is not a substitute for a leg amputation.
Two functioning arms are sufficient instead of three functioning extremities if the guest has a normal center of gravity and the lower extremities are sufficiently strong to maintain proper riding posture under the dynamic conditions of the ride. Amputations must be below the ankle. Guests with a cervical collar, neck brace, or broken collar bone are not permitted to ride. Casts are not permitted on this ride. Guests with any type of arm prosthesis should not ride unless they can ensure the device is properly secured and will remain in place during the ride.
Alternatively, guests with certain amputations may be able to ride with the use of a separate full body harness provided the guest has remaining leg and arm remnants to be secured by the harness. Then, it's nearly straight down feet as the coaster drops at a degree angle and reaches its top bugs-in-your-fangs speed of 80 mph. Diamondback really starts working its magic as it soars up its second hill and offers a sweet, sustained burst of airtime.
And the airtime Diamondback delivers as it swiftly and smoothly slithers up its third hill is even more sustained and sweeter than the previous dose. If this is the "mean" ride's venom, you probably wouldn't want any antidote. The third drop is a foot plunge that ends in a turnaround and another airtime-infused rise up into the airspace above Kings Island.
Diamondback then uncoils into a deftly maneuvered helix and enters a trim brake to briefly slow its out-of-control but always buttery smooth mayhem. It's no surprise that Diamondback is sinfully smooth and loaded with airtime. It's designed by the roller coaster geniuses at Swiss-based ride manufacturer Bolliger and Mabillard, the developers of such incredible hypercoasters as Apollo's Chariot at Busch Gardens Williamsburg.
