BlondyRidesOn Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 The only reason I think it's a coaster or a ride/attraction is because I dont think people would pay attention if there were a gravestone for just the old Tomb Raider building. That being said, it could be Action Theater as that is/was an attraction. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted September 23, 2018 Author Share Posted September 23, 2018 What kind of Haunt maze do you think we will see in the Firehawk station for 2019? 5 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeastForever Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 ^Hopefully an invisible one. You know, the kind that doesn't exist! As much as I think this is likely the end of Firehawk as we know it... I'm still holding out hope! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KIfan73 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Why "Rest in Pieces" instead of the normal "Rest in Peace"? "It's Big it's Gone" is a strange phrase..."It's Gone" means it's already gone...it doesn't say "When it's Gone", or "Will be Gone", or "soon to be removed". Does "Big" refer to the size of what's gone (or what's going to be gone), or does big refer to the fact that it's gone, like it's a big deal that it's gone? So many questions! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upstop Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 4. “ILL fated demise” sounds like something is going to be “put to death” also just a bit of coincidental information, Canada’s Wonderland is changing the names of their Vortex coaster to something else for next year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlondyRidesOn Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Someone mentioned how there are old, dead flowers and new flowers to suggest it died twice. Could mean two things. First, Dinosaurs Alive is still back in the woods, just closed to the public and no Dinosaurs, and it's officially going to be removed. Secondly, if it's Firehawk, it could symbolize how it "died" when X-Flight was removed from Geauga Lake and it's going to "die" again. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This does make for an interesting thought. Maybe instead of removing something, it’s about something that is already gone? Instead of a funeral, time to bring something back from the dead? The SoB tombstone is near there... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another odd phrase. From Merriam-Webster: Definition of Ill-Fated 1: having or destined to a hapless fate : UNFORTUNATE an ill-fated expedition 2: that causes or marks the beginning of misfortune Definition of Demise (Entry 1 of 2) 1a: DEATH b: a cessation of existence or activity c: a loss of position or status 2: the conveyance of an estate 3: transfer of the sovereignty to a successor Definition of Demise (Entry 2 of 2) transitive verb 1: to convey by will or lease demise an estate 2: to transmit by succession or inheritance 3: obsolete : CONVEY, GIVE intransitive verb 1: DIE, DECEASE 2: to pass by descent or bequest the property has demised to the king's heirs So, Kings Island is making final preparations for the unfortunate death, loss of position, conveyance, succession, or the passing on of property to the king's heirs of one of their own. Interesting. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melody Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Firehawk was my favorite coaster until Banshee came. I still ride it every time I go. It's so unique and fun to me. I'll be so sad if this is true. Seen alot of people mention the red and yellow flowers on the wreath ... to me the sides of the chairs look like they are spray painted yellow and red too but maybe its just a reflection or light? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRickster Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 lmao it's probably an inside joke and they are "laying to bed" the rumor of Son of Beast returning... The red and yellow stuff was also Son of Beasts colors. haha 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KIfan73 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 If you watch the promo for MT, the vines represented nature taking back its land...I couldn't help but notice there are vines on the Flight Commander tombstone, and there is currently a new attraction being installed on that site...could be clues, could be a coincidence...I guess it would depend on of there was any pattern to which tombstones they put vines on. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trint2004 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 I noticed last night there was a new tombstone sitting right next to it. That wasn’t there before. Could it be another hint? makes me think of Robinson Cursoe who was an explorer. So could be Adventure Express Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GavPenn Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 5 hours ago, chuck norris said: Other tombstones near the proposed burial site. SOB was demolished in November of 2012. "Board to death" since then, would be a point in favor of those arguing the SOB revival theory. All the Outpost 5 links are a dead giveaway but its fun watching the crowd lean towards the removal of Firehawk. Who knows? It could be both. I'll go ahead and say this will probably be an announcement for a SOB revival. I'll guess REVENGE OF BEAST as it's title. Or The Beastie for old times sake.

Joshua Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 "The air is eerily clear" makes me think of The Vortex. Assuming "big" doesn't refers to its place in park history, the Vortex has been a major staple at the park for decades. If removed, it would be an end of era. It also makes me think of WindSeeker, but that doesn't fit the "big" clue. At least, to me it doesn't. Firehawk, however, isn't something I ride as often. It's never been something I would wait for if I can walk right onto rides like The Beast, Diamondback, Banshee, and Mystic Timbers. If gone, I wouldn't miss it as much as Vortex. As far as The Beast theory goes, nah, I don't think it's going anywhere. I doubt the Son of Beast headstone is any indication of the ride that's leaving the park, except that this ride will be joining it in death. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjcolglazier Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 I can't imagine them removing a major coaster without telling the public well in advance so those who love it can ride it to their heart's content before it goes away. That would just be really rude. At this point I think the Big Brown Box is going bye-bye. Or something else the park doesn't think is much of a big deal enough to forewarn us. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck norris Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 I thought board to death was a haunt attraction, ave this were the years it existed. I don't think there is any link to its placement near the ceremony... Other than perhaps it is more recent than some of the other tombstone references.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I agree that they usually warn people before a coaster leaves. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
