jdf21972 Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Wow, people are really choosing sides between Vortex and Firehawk like that dress that was either black & blue or white & gold. Cannot wait to see the announcement. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JubJester Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 It feels like just a couple weeks ago I saw that green paint....oh wait, yes I did. 10 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlondyRidesOn Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Just so long as it isn't The Racer that's leaving, I'll probably be alright with the announcement. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starlitfire Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Will be in class when this announcement happens, but I look forward to a happy farewell thread to whatever coast has limited days left at KI. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I don't think KK would purchase a handmedown with maintenance problems if that's the case of Firehawk's removal, since my guess is that it would be more of an issue at an independent park in regards to attendance and money. On 9/25/2018 at 10:12 AM, Winston Legthigh said: I just can't see KI selling a ride to a direct competitor right down the road. If Firehawk is the coaster being removed, I can't see it popping up anywhere other than Carowinds in the form of parts for Nighthawk. I'm just really hoping it isn't Vortex or The Bat. If KI's planning on Giga for 2020, I don't think its going to be too difficult drawing people away from a park that gets a twice-recycled Vekoma flyer... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vortex lover Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 I will bet money that Kentucky Kingdom will not get Firehawk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirbias1 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 It'll either be tomorrow, or hopefully for the official 10/28/ funeral (if there is one) . I remember CP dropped RMC hints at their Mean Streak funeral. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoddaH1994 Posted September 27, 2018 Author Share Posted September 27, 2018 Would Adventure Express make sense? It almost seems like Mystic Timbers was intended to replace the “first big coaster” spot that AE was for most people. That would be far more sad than Firehawk. 10am tomorrow, ladies and gentlemen. We’ll sell you the whole seat but you’ll only need the edge. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick44 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 What about a tandem of men. Bob & Michael ? Would of loved to use Intamin but can’t find a way haha. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRickster Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 I'd be rather upset if AE left... It's something you really can't easily find other places. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeastForever Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 The loss of our beloved Mine Train would be beyond devastating. It would leave a hole in KI that could never be sufficiently filled 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silver2005 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 We'd need some serious ceremony to appease the utmost violation of the 11th Commandment. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gforce1994 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 I wonder if KI will get a flying coaster in the next few years after 2020 investment. This might sound ludicrous, but hear me out. The Flying Dutchman coasters were supposed to rotate back on the chain lifts. This can be seen in the promotional material. Vekoma has made a new model of their flying coaster that ensure both the rotation is done quickly and efficiently, as well as maintain high capacity. Vekoma is also rolling out a launches flying coaster next year, FLY at Phantasialand. The ride includes a station that would dramatically cut down on the wasted time in the station. Furthermore, if this launch coaster is introduced without a problem, there likely will be a market for the new coasters. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a cool concept, however I doubt Cedar Fair would be willing to work with Vekoma after this is over, especially considering their current relationship with Bolliger & Mabillard.
