Firehawk is still months away from giving its first flights but it is quickly beginning to take shape!

Vertical supports begin to go up as the section closest to Flight of Fear’s queue area finally begins to look like what it will be: a flying coaster!

Contractors are hard at work to get Firehawk ready to open on Memorial Day weekend as scheduled. The station will begin to be installed within the next few days, and track will be erected within the next few weeks!

A special thanks, once again, to Maureen Kaiser for taking the time out of her day to cruise over to the construction site with me in style (thanks Lexy!) and allow me to take these photos for you. Thank you!

That looks so sexy! Everything about it looks awesome, even the nuts and bolts. I can't wait to ride that animal (almost said "that beast," but that would show disrespect to the best coaster in all the land).

omg thats really starting to come together nicely i cannot wait to see the station starting to be built and i wonder what it will look like

Love the color! Poop brown?

That would be the primer.

I know this has been answered before somewhere but what color is the ride being painted?

Furthermore - why is the primer such an odd color?

i believe the color is suppose to be a brick red .. thus why the color would be such a brownish color so when they put the red ontop it works good

And tinted primer will help to prevent the green from bleeding through.

The final color will go on once the track is up. Notice the supports haven't been touched yet either. With the warm weather, I bet they moving right along with the construction.

Wow that is really starting to take shape. And at a fast pace to. I can hardly wait to ride it.

I WANT A Firehawk SHIRT, AND I WANT IT NOW!

But anyways...It's really starting to come together nicely. Hopefully I'll get a chance to ride it this year.

Lookin good..although as the opening gets closer..I am kinda fearing it more...

We drove by the construction site today, its really neat seeing that iron be lifted into thin air like it was nothing.
