Jasper Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 On the travel channel there is a show on called Extreme Terror rides and sure enough there is our very own, Firehawk. I never knew Firehawk was that big of a terror ride but i am so glad to finally see Kings Island make one of these shows. You guys should seriously check this show out there is a re-run at 12 midnight on the Travel Channel. Also featured has been Milly, TTD, Farenheit and more.

BoddaH1994 Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Yep -- this has been discussed before. The guy posing as a ride actor is Kings Island's own Evan Millward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there's a topic. We've just talked about it. No biggie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAHill Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 I DVRed this a few weeks ago, and kept sporadically pushing the remote and replaying Firehawk's scene. It got boring after a while, so I then watched the triple-looper in Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RollerNut Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Is this the show? Theirs some mistakes in their.He says that rollersoaker is the only one of its kind (FSS),and 97 degrees drop is the steepest in the U.S.And Then they call Firehawk "The Firehawk". Roller Soaker is prototype 2 and Saturator is prototype 1, so I agree. How in the world did they overlook Carowinds and Saturator? Travel Channel and it's former parent company have a problem getting roller coaster facts right, and it gets on my nerves. Discovery has yet to air the show that was taped at Carowinds in 2004 prior to the park opening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigacoaster2k Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 IMO Firehawk doesn't classify as an extreme terror ride. It's more exhilarating than anything else. If they wanted a ride that really scares some people, they should have featured Drop Tower and Slingshot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
