I just hope that Kings Island doesnt become dare I say it............. Cedar Point South?

I was too, until my teacher in 7th grade talked me onto one during a class visit! Its been 7 years and I love the coaster! Just go on it, you are so secure in these trains its rediculous, yes, you will go up to a certain height, but all you have to realize is that your fear of heights is not a fear of heights it is a fear of falling! This is not going to happen, as I mentioned earlier you are strapped in on coasters so tight you wont get out, and you just need to realize that you will end the ride in the exact same place that you boarded it.

then PM me and Ill stick in the vault and never bring it up again! Im jk, I respect that decision completely.

I always thought that Firehawk actually was a decent name for the coaster so way to go on finding that out anyways! Who were your sources? At least everyone knows that your not a troll now! lol wait...so other people knew way before this announcement? You'd think that they would run a little tighter ship that that. Usually the captain doesnt even tell his first mate that he is slaughtering the crew and running off with the gold! (that would be bad)

we are already very excited, Thanks Maureen!

I for one, am really excited...It has been how many years since KI has built on previously undeveloped land?

Yah, but then the sign is just sticking out in the middle of the road.

I agree with him. there is nothing wrong with that. Ceidar fair owns it now. they can do what ever they want. It will not crush my love of kings isalnd. Hey, whatt happend to the release date for X-flight. It was going to be yesterday? What Happend? Its gonna be called Firehawk!

LOL And that's quite an adertisement for the ride. Save the ride for last as you'll be so miserable after riding that you'll be going home in pain. Ahhh, anyone wonder how long we're gonna waste time and money on SOB? I really dont know, and Im not gonna even guess! I dont like the headaches, but truthfully SoB is a fun ride, I love hitting those helixes at high speeds, and zooming out of the rosebowls. And, c'mon y'all that there first drop is a doozey! lol I'm not sure what it would take to make it even as comfortable as Beast...yes I said it ! But I have to think that some new, light and agile cars could only help, and lots of cushy padding. Also less we forget, they were told they had to make some structural changes, the track will now give more at high speeds rather than just sitting still and then buckling everytime the train goes by. What was happening is the track wouldnt give at all until the train came, and then once it hit certain spots and jack hammered it would just drill the bracing, and it would all move at once. They actually made the structure too rigid, and that creates...well we all have seen and felt what that creates

And, I would like to second what he said almost verbatim. As I said when I started this post, Thank you guys for doing such a great job with things around here! I too hope that KI realizes the slack that you guys take by trying to retain a respectful relationship with the park and not letting errors or confidential information leak to us. Keep up the good work! Here's to PKIC! :CHEERS:

I've never really even noticed that sign . Id walk in all last year and head straight for Avatar, pushing the photogrophers out of my way

I know thats right! I have to save SoB as the last ride, or I have a headache all day, it is the only ride to ever give me a headache!

Exactly. I so did not want to go out tonight and ended up havin some fun on here anyway. I'm in the same boat as you, Just got done watching the movie Barnyard...hilarious! Been on here for the last hour nothing but fun! It sure is a testament to the guys that are a part of this forum too! Ive refreshed this page, like every 30 secs for the last 6 minutes and Oysterman always has that dotted line underneath his name! I think that hes writing a novel on Firehawk

Saturday Night, and weve all officially lost it

Technically you wont be driving a Pontiac Firehawk! You will be driving a SLP modified Pontiac Firebird! SLP stands for street legal Performance, they tuned Firebirds into what they called "Firehawks" but they dont have a TM and neither do Pontiac!

It's a rule that may be a rule but no one is quite sure if it is a rule or is not a rule and if it were a rule if it were a rule that were applied to employee's or who the rule was really applied to or if it existed at all. LOL, Lord, see what happens when I'm in on a Saturday Night! LOL, one thing is for sure you all are doing your best to confuse each other! oh, btw, Woofer I tried the Steak it was good, but a little overdone I have yet to try the shrimp, will you be here tomorrow? LOL

oh, so the rule infact isnt a rule? "Kinda like WhiteHouse Leaks. Generate some buzz and then do the roll out." You are exactly right!

And you sure don't invite non-employees then tell a board that restrictions apply only to employees. Somehow I think the park wants this reaction. Interpreter, you have just hit the nail on the head, that is perhaps the only reason why the park would do such a thing, now we are all buzzing and will pay particular attention to the OFFICIAL Press Release! If youve ever heard of something called a controlled burn? We tend to call this a controlled leak!

wait a min, um, Delirium Guy, I thought that employees werent aloud to post this stuff according to Captain Nemo? and is Firehawk really opening on Memorial Day?

I find it quite funny how we begin talking on a forum, and then we get a little too close to stepping on each other's or the parks toes. And all of a sudden the forum that this was occuring in mysteriously vanishes! I'm begining to think that PKIC is haunted! P.S. Im just kidding guys, I know why this is being done, we all know why, and I really do commend the mods and admins for doing such a great job on this site! Keep up the great work guys, we all appreciate it!

Im sure you'll get someone here with that one!

ok, so we've knocked out Rides associate, and Games-warehouse...but what about the difference between receiver, distribution, and Inventory control in the Merchandise warehouse? Those also say you need a drivers license, do you drive like a forklift or something? My biggest misunderstanding is the diff between the above mentioned positions, they all basically sat the same thing! Warehouse-distribution Job Overview: Load and unload deliveries and stock warehouse shelves Take product orders and answer questions about products available in the warehouse Pull and deliver product orders to park locations Ship and receive freight from various delivery service Drive vehicles to transport items It says drive vehicles to transport items and is that like a JD Gator or like a forkilift?

Ok, thanks for offering that info On games-warehouse associate! That position doesnt require a drivers license cuz they dont have to drive anything. But some of the others said that a drivers license was needed because some of the things must be delivered via auto. Can anyone else elaborate on the other positions? And if in fact on some of them you must have a drivers license (which i do obviously) why? Thanks again to everyone!

Couldnt the new product announcement only talk about the "new product" that KI will be offering under Cedar Fair?? The new ride is part of the new product but isnt souly the product. I wouldnt be suprised if they tell you guys about the product of customer service and fun that you all will be offering but make no mention about former X-Flight. That wouldnt surprise me one bit!

Haha that would be awesome...but im not riding it ! not till everyone else has and noone has died
