context_page_description: Diamondback is a steel roller coaster located at Kings Island in Mason, Ohio. Manufactured by Bolliger & Mabillard, the ride opened in 2009 as the first hypercoaster to feature a splashdown effect and the first B&M roller coaster at Kings Island. It is located in Rivertown just behind International Street and the Eiffel Tower. Diamondback was the biggest investment in Kings Island’s history at the time, costing $22 million to build, but that figure was surpassed in 2014 by Banshee. The coaster features a 230-foot lift hill with a 215-foot drop and a maximum speed of 80 mph. It is similar to Behemoth at Canada's Wonderland in statistics, layout, and seating.
context_section_description: The steel track is 5,282 feet (1,610 m) in length and the height of the lift is approximately 230 feet (70 m). The ride has red track and tan supports, although for the first few years, the supports on the lift hill and second hill were painted yellow. The track was fabricated at the Ohio-based Clermont Steel Fabricators.
