PkiJake13 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 That article made it sound like Firehawk will have a milatray theme, yay. I really like themeing and I am glad that Cedar Fair has hopefully decided to stick to themeing. I wish they would take the Flight of Fear sign down and replace it with a sign that says "Fort Cooper Milatary Base". Make it a whole new area and build on it the next couple of years. -Jake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reclaimer Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Look! Paul Reuben...MY HERO!!! Wait, no. I think I just puked a little. Oh, and yes...the chick was a bit of, well...an annoyance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomTheater Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 They always find the most annoying and stupid people to inerview on those shows. Most of the interviewees know squat about coasters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleHenry Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Hey there!! You're right..... We are using video from Stealth/BORG. The reasoning behind that is simple. We did not have enough time to have video made for Firehawk, and my friends to the north didn't have anything we could use. Soooo.....this provides an idea of what the ride will be like to those who are not enthusiasts or have not ridden the ride before. Like any video we've had (IJ, Boomerang Bay, etc) there is room for change but the general idea will be the same! Get excited!! I would like to take this time to remind everyone that I will be learning how to create virtual animations in the near future! I guess it's time for me to upload some more of my ride animations to youtube (RCT3 and NL only of course... not good enough to make them without the aid of those programs yet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tycoonrebel7188 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Ok so I don't know if this has been brought up yet or not but just before you walk under Racer there is a red tube arch with the Fof sign on it. Do you think that will be replaced with a Fort Cooper sign or just taken down all together? This is the top of the arch. http://extremepki.com/gallery/displayimage...um=48&pos=2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Given that the Cooper of Fort Cooper is no longer associated with the company that once owned Kings Island, much less the current one that does, I can't imagine a sign for Fort Cooper replacing the Flight of Fear arch...

The suggestion of a Fort Cooper sign was only ment to be a suggestion. My statement was more or less a question as to whether or not the sign would be removed or changed to include Firehawk.

TOPGUN1993 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I think they will move the FOF arch closer to the ride entrance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterKrazy Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 So is the color scheme red and gray (as reported by the Post) or red and yellow, (as reported by the Inquirer)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tycoonrebel7188 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 The track is red and grey. The trains are red and yellow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoDeyForever Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Sweet news! This is my first time checking news about PKI in a couple weeks and I come to read this! Pretty exciting!! Can't wait to ride it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOPGUN1993 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 http://www.thrillnetwork.com/stories_view...._direction.html However, the attractions will not be ignored completely. Falfas noted that two of the park's thrill rides are scheduled for new expensive paint jobs -- one will which will also have cameras installed in every seat so visitors can buy a video memento of their ride and a movie/simulator ride is being re-themed. On Ride Videos you can BUY!!!! http://www.thrillnetwork.com/stories_view...._direction.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cewldre Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 On Ride Videos you can BUY!!!! Sorry to digress, but Top Gun at Carowinds had that last year and it's really cool to see. It's a pretty cool thing to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersNSich Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Already, Firehawk has a new video game based on it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trint2004 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 i was just wondering if anyone has news on what they are doing to Son of Beast. I though that they would release info about that today along with the Firehawk news. Has any one heard anything about it? Already, Firehawk has a new video game based on it... Okay that was stupid. Anyone agree? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIVortex Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 In one of those articles I believe the cincypost, it said they are still uncertain of an opening date, but are committed on getting the ride reopened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 In one of those articles I believe the cincypost, it said they are still uncertain of an opening date, but are committed on getting the ride reopened. And there are those who think they should be committed for even thinking about re-opening it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
