All right we got to the park at about 9:00 sitting outside the gate playing Call of Duty 2 in my car until the gates opened up. Once we got in we had to sit and wait for them to drop the ropes. They dropped the ropes and off we went to stand in the same spot for 5 hours. I had to be back by 5 for work so I was getting a little ansy because I didn't know if I was gonna be able to ride or not. Once they opened the line people cheered and we were ready to take on Firehawk. They were taking groups of 60 or so at a time for what reason I am not too sure. They only had one train but once the line got moving we had to wait maybe 20 mintues. The empoyees were great and they were even handing out water for the guest waiting. The ride was sweet one of the best rides Kings Island has and its very smooth! The free t-shirt thign was a mess however. After you ride you get a ticket for a free t-shirt but you have to have get your shirt as your leaving at group releations after 6. Well I had to be back by 5 so that was no good. I was then told to get a little card at the Guest Realtions window. They still had a little pass thing so we could get the shirt before 5. Headed back to the Group sales window and they moved the shirts back to the guest relations window. CONFUSION. Overall it was a day worth my time and my arms and face getting sunburnt!

FoF line was out the line. I just got home from Firehawk riding it. We got there at open and didn't board to a little before 3. Great ride and well worth the wait.

^ Heck at CP they close rides if its just misting out.

I saw that section on Wensday where the lockers are. I dont have a picture of the lockers excat but I do have a picture that you can see some of the lockers in. You can judge from there. They are to the left of that red pole

I still got 4 weeks till my first Cedar Point trip.

That really fast. I work at a place that sometimes requires thing to be done very quickly and you be surprized what can get done!

Yea I don't have to be at work till 5 which is only 45 minutes or so away from the park so I'll be up there. Im leaving my house at about 8:00 or so and live about 30 minutes from the park. I am going to go to Firehawk first thing and even it its not open Im going to wait. I was at the park today and they ran a few test runs. They seem to me tehy are only landscaping and testing the ride at this point. The line for the ride resembles wicked twister and is viewable from The Racer.

So where are things safe at?

The button is on top of the forums right underneath the banner.

My favorite ride is Flight of Fear.

Ill be at work all weekend but I will be going Memorial Day.

I will not get to ride it until Monday but that is fine by me. It is the same ride either way.

Opens May 26, 2007 Park open 10am - 10pm First 2500 Riders Per Day Get A FREE T-Shirt! I wonder how many days they will be doing this?

I think Firehawk looks great and they really did do a nice job. I think there would be alot more leveling land get getting it just right to were the measuremnets are extaly the same.

^ Its not that bad with Flight of Fear back there at all. It only gets really bad around Fear Fest when you have Fear Fest lines clogging up the path. Really its not that big of a deal to make another path. Yea it might cost some money to cut threw The Racers again but it might be well worth it. As for that Action Zone with only one path you can't blame that on paramount because that pathway was all ready there before they started building.

I wonder if we will be getting those mist fans they have in the lines up at Cedar Point.

Yea I heard somewhere that is B&M would never go over 300 feet.

Correct me if I am wrong but if they are gonna be putting in an S-Curve won't there still be a lot of stress on the wheels on the side of the ride?

When they are turned down so much its no longer worth paying an employee to fly out to the park and pay for his hotel so he can present the idea to the park officals.

The park has been very crowded on the days I have been to th epark so far.

I heard it was B&M quit going to Kings Island with new ideas because they just kept turning them down.

I am wondering if they knew it might cause alot of problems with the ride but they wanted to proably just try and see what happens.

Did they have to drain the lake again? Its ashame they had to take the heartline roll out that looked like it would have been a blast.

I am going to the park this sunday for my 4th visit. I will then be heading to the park wensday the 23, memorial day weekend sunday and monday. Hopefully Firehawk will be open one of those days.

I was talking to someone that was actually running the ride and at the time it did have 2 trains.
