Here are some photos via negative-g.com that show the similar station when it was at Geauga Lake. http://www.negative-g.com/six-flags-worlds-of-adventure/2003/six-flags-worlds-of-adventure-2003-4.htm

Kinda weird to have 2 hypers in the same park. Not to hard to make it the longest coaster in the park when most of them aren't all that long (currently Skyrush at around 3,600 ft). I hope they do something a bit more unique that sets it apart from Skyrush, like have a splash or a launch.

^There would have to be plumbing for FoF's sprinkler system, yes?

I believe Firehawk and Batwing at SFA were supposed to have another unique feature apart from Stealth. I think they were supposed to remain up right until the lift and then tilt back into flight mode, or it was at least something Vekoma had idealized.

I think some people are overestimating the width of the track when it comes to space. Antique Car track isn't too much wider than most of the wider queue lines, and you can get creative enough with the layouts to make it pretty lengthy given the space. I mean, you could fit either of CP's car tracks into that space no problem.

NIghthawk also doesn't have the final helix. Otherwise, they're pretty similar up to the rolling elements.

Vekoma does have a smaller version of their Flying Dutchman model that would fit well at KK. Its called the Stingray (both the ride name and the model name on this particular RCDB link). https://rcdb.com/4124.htm

That'd be WDW by a mile.

Most abandoned former ride buildings.

What kind of park does a press release on a Sunday night in the fall?

...without a Beast or Banshee night ride (or in lucky situations, both).

To be fair, RCT2 guests flock to that particular model in-game.

Looking towards the right side of the entrance at opening in hopes of spotting KICers.

Do news stations happen to have Dippin' Dots stands on set?

They probably read that here.

Hershey has set an announcement date- October 3rd.

^NItro's crew didn't reach over, they actually walked up to the middle 2 seats to check them and were still efficient about it.

There are less overall rows to check and the trains are shorter. SFGAdv crews loading Nitro had trains ready to go faster than what Diamondback crews do on their best days, and Nitro has more capacity than Diamondback with a 9th car.

The 4 across seats are the same seats and restraints, they're just placed differently, though, they also keep their speed better than the V arrangement and load quicker.

^Only that I don't want a flying or dive coaster. Not picky about the rest of the details.

^Hate to break it to you, but that's a Photoshop.

Whatever coaster goes in Firehawk's place, I hope it has some interaction with either Racer, the FoF building, or Adventure Express (or if it's big enough, Banshee). Also, nothing in red please. I'm hoping its in colors similar to Behemoth and Talon.

I have some interesting bits to add to this as well. I got a coaster book a while back called 'Roller Coasters- A Thrill Seeker's Guide to the Ultimate Scream Machines' by Robert Coker. Its a hardback that goes over the basic history of coasters and delves into the many type and even includes worded POV's of a few notable rides (some include GhostRider, Beast, Volcano: The Blast Coaster, Son of Beast, and Millennium Force to name a few). The section on flying coasters is centered around Stealth (the book came out in 2002) and goes a little bit into the development. Turns out the Dutch equivalent to NASA, NLR -the Netherlands Aerospace Centre, and a few other major contributors to such sciences from where Vekoma has their HQ, were all apart of the Stealth project.

With Firehawk now being confirmed to be leaving, I'd put the possibility of a giga to at least 50% or even slightly above.

We'd need some serious ceremony to appease the utmost violation of the 11th Commandment.
