I was not aware that Firehawk had a vertical drop!
(of course, I also have a WoF shirt that bills Mamba as the tallest coaster in the midwest, and a CP shirt that features a Vekoma Boomerang!)
It would have been wise, if they knew of the chance of rain the previous day, to post as the red box notification that, in the event of the rain, the park would not be open.
Given TruTv's history of shows that aren't, well, Tru (Operation Repo, anyone?), I have no doubt that this show will be at least a little bit overdramatized and/or staged for TV.
Ah, I remember the time when I went to KI, saw on the scrolling sign that it was open 10am to 10pm, then discovered that the park was closing at 8pm right as they played "The park is now closed!" announcement. Shocknawe!
They don't close in rain like this during the summer. I've been at the park in FAR worse rain and have ridden it out, stayed, and seen everything reopen later.
