Tr0y Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 Firehawk to be moved to Action Zone so xbase can expand?
Oldschool75 Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 I was at the park today, and boy was it crowded, especially for a Monday. We only got on Firehawk and Diamondback before heading over to the much less crowded Soak City. However, while queuing for FH, I noticed something of interest under the ride. Remember those footers with grate looking things on top that seem way too close together? I still can't answer why they are so close, but the same thing is seen under Firehawk. Here is an overview. I circled the sewers. Three in total, two on the left, with one on the right. http://i1347.photobucket.com/albums/p712/rcwizard13/Sewers1_zpsde1325da.jpg?t=1375147487 And now zoomed in. The left two: http://i1347.photobucket.com/albums/p712/rcwizard13/Sewers2_zps7ce9823b.jpg?t=1375147507 And the right one: http://i1347.photobucket.com/albums/p712/rcwizard13/Sewers3_zpsd00b241b.jpg?t=1375147496 These are just standard drainage channels, same as any other ride/ coaster that needs to maintain rain water or any other source of water that may pool in that area. 1

That's what I thought when they were first discovered at the 2014 sight. But, why so close together? Why isn't one enough?

YoungStud Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 I hope something shows up, I just read the last 3 pages of crap, and I did not even contribute any of it. 18
KI FANATIC 37 Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 Oh man. No water fountain or Manta splash down. Shoot.
Shawn Meyer Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 I hope that is inaccurate and that Kings Island gets the rumored future B&M roller coaster such as the Floorless or Inverted.
THE_BEASTmaster Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 Firehawk to be moved to Action Zone so xbase can expand? Not going to happen. The footings in the construction site go down into the valley near Flight Deck's turn around. Firehawk has to be on flat land. 1
rcwizard13 Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 I hope something shows up, I just read the last 3 pages of crap. Well, first I wouldn't call my Firehawk sewer discovery crap. Second, I have found some posts highly amusing. While there wasn't anything new, today has been very humorous for me. Specifically, Terp's replies to Vortex lover, among other things. Oh, yeah, that keyboard talk was very funny. In the end, new information or not, on track or not, this thread is always entertaining. rcwizard13, going to get more pop and pop some popcorn. 4
Vortex lover Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 This is off topic but did anybody hear about ki plans to tear down Vortex some where in 2016 because of age and arrow dynamics went out of business and parts are hard to find unless ki pay a hefty penny for them 1
Ride On_17 Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 I know theres no wingrider unless Cedar Point turns tables and ordered a wing rider Sorry Cedar Fair Still on that long bumpy road?

I believe the consensus was Arrow parts are not hard to come by as S&S still makes them. 2

The Interpreter Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 It's going to be a long, bumpy road around here for a while... 15
THE_BEASTmaster Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 You're not on this same bumpy road... are you, Terp?

LordSkippy Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 On kic they said that Vortex is planned to be torn down but now i think that ki is not going to tear down Vortex Where on KIC did "they" say that?
THE_BEASTmaster Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 On kic they said that Vortex is planned to be torn down but now i think that ki is not going to tear down Vortex Where on KIC did "they" say that? Probably in the "Rumors" section of the forums.
