Ok some one settle this arguement between my brother and I

[Cortney]

I didn't go on Firehawk at KI but I did go on Nighthawk (which is just like that) at Carowinds....we got 2 day passes when we went and so him and my brother's g/f went last week. Well they got on that and was sitting in the front and I was like oh you mean you were like the back which is the front. And he was like no it was the front. I was like no you were in the back. He was like no we rode in the front!

Well when I went on Nighthawk we were in what you would call the back of the train, but it turned out to be the front. Am I making sense?

he swore they were in the front going down the front hill, but unless the train there goes the other way, thats the only way I could see that.

Sorry if this is confusing, but I am curious now.

As far as I can tell, if it's the same as Firehawk, the front is the front, and the back is the back. No Invertigo wackiness involved.

[Cortney]

Ok what I THOUGHT was the back of the train, was the the part that went up the hill first....get what I mean????? My aunt and I were in the row that went up the hill first and the guy that told us where to go to lane 6, which DUH is the back if you think about it, but it wasn't because it was fron going on that ride. But my brother was like in row 1 and I was in row 6, row 6 was front row going up that hill and row 1 to me was the last one. Get what I mean?

I am guessing you are referring to the fact that when the seats are in loading position they would lead you to believe that the seats which are in the front of the train are the back and vice versa.

This picture...

looks like the front row of a regular sitting coaster. However, when laid down:

this is actually the back of the train.

Exactly what I was thinking, since in load position the seat faces backward, so what looks to be the back of the train is really the front and what looks to be the front is the back. That is only when the seats are in load position. Once in Fly position is all works itself out. Both coasters are set up the same way.

[Cortney]

Thats what I thought. I wasn't in what you say the front....I was at the other end completely....hahaha

Also Nighthawk is unique. Firehawk and Batwing at Six Flags America in Largo, Maryland near DC are the identical twins.

[Cortney]

It could've been different because the train could go out where you go up going where you face out looking out toward the lift instead of being on your back and not knowing. I wasn't sure, because I didn't go on Firehawk and didn't watch it after finding out you had to pay 75 cents for a locker! LOL (don't get me started....it was the same at Carowinds too)

Am I wrong or does Firehawk have something for you to hold onto unlike Nighthawk? Nighthawk you have nothing and that scared me to death, just curious it looks like it does looking at teh pictures.

I rode Nighthawk when it was Stealth at then Paramount's Great America and I have to say that I like the flying corkscrews more than the in-line twists.
