Diamondback

April 27, 2009

Sometimes it's just the words that inspire one of these. Kings Island builds a coaster called Diaondback; Seals & Crofts have a song called Diamond Girl...I can work with that...


Diamondback!

(with apologies to Seals & Crofts...)

Diamondback!
What a ride!
Glad they built you!
A favorite of mine!
A giant coaster
A couple hundred feet
Three long trains
Thirty two seats each
Makes no difference
Where you are
Day or nighttime
It's a little like Silver Star
I've been waiting
To ride upon you
You're the coaster
This park has lacked (Whoa-oah!)

Diamondback!
Runnin' wild!
So much airtime!
Makin' us smile!
I have never seen
Another one like you
Nine big hills
And a splashy finish too
I can feel
Your big wheels turnin'
See your fans
Go nuts when returnin'
Diamondback,
Now that I've found you
I've a new favorite
Ride at last!

Diamondback!
What a ride!

Diamondback!
What a ride!

Diamondback!
What a ride!

Diamondback!
What a-
  What a-
    What a ride!
