Maverick44 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 We just want to have fun around here lol There will always be the battle of Intamin / B&M. in all fairness I love roller coasters in general haha. A shuttle dive coaster with a mid course 2nd launch! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixohdieselrage Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I would love for Intamin to get their reliability up to where CF would let them contract again. Maverick is one of my favs at CP. Ironically, none of them are b&m's. And I cannot comment on I305, since I haven't ridden it yet, but I'm sure it would be my favorite at KD. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick44 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Same here man. I can't wait to ride I305 honestly. Only reason I really love the Intamin's is because I grew up during the days of them being KING at CP. Haha I also prefer speed and airtime rather then inversions. I Just like really aggressive coasters. Steel V is AMAZING is that regard. haha 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Theater Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Just wanted to share a satellite image of Firehawks remains as of 2/25/2019. Looks like we can say the station won't be used for anything at this point. Edit: removed the aerial photo. Will upload again if asked after the season has begun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I wonder if they are reusing the queue for what's coming next. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the same thing. I'm also curious about the piece of track right right next to the old queue. It seems like they are done with removing and scrapping all of the metal. Maybe they'll use it for theming somewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would make a great entrance sign or they could have some sort of Firehawk removal in the queue of the new coaster similar to what Banshee has in honor of SOB 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say that Firehawk was as "iconic" if you will as SOB but it is definitely a unique coaster due to the lack of Vekoma flyers in existence. It would also be nice because it could also remind people of Geauga Lake and be an indirect "shrine" to the park 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDMC01 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 If the track was somehow used to reference Firehawk the way that the eternal flame in Banshee's queue references Son of Beast, that would be a cool tribute. What I loved most about Firehawk when it was around was that it stood as a relic from the early 2000's, like still having a working Windows XP computer. Even when I couldn't ride it anymore, it was still cool to look at through a historical lens (I also realized how compact the layout was). I'm also interested to see that area now that Flight of Fear is once again the sole coaster back there. 29 more days... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixohdieselrage Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 @fryoj That would be correct, according to what the mods told me beforehand. I may post it to my IG later. Same username. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick44 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 I may be wrong but is there a difference between speculating what giga is coming and where it is. Once we know a coaster is coming I do not see anything wrong with seeing pics of the construction site. We know what we are getting. I think this may be a lets not share the updated to ITL street because obviously the park wants to keep it under wraps. The park can't help people seeing track being made a CSF. Idk im just talking now lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick44 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Yeah I am not sure why we can't see those. I am just a member here so I follow the rules. Even if I do not agree with one. Oh well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeastFarmer Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 This conversation already has its' own thread. But I will just enjoy what information we get as it comes. I think it is common courtesy to abide with the park's wishes on a public forum. Private exchanges, I have no issues with. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixohdieselrage Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 That's the only reason I haven't posted them here. Just to keep the park happy. But, I wont give my opinion on that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FUN&ONLY! Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 I thought there was a fairly recent satellite image on this thread that showed the Firehawk plot of land with the coaster being completely gone, but I cannot find it anymore so must have been removed 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 I mean, none of this is our intellectual property. The park has the right to ask the site to take down any spy photos of unfinished projects. KIC has decided to respect their wishes. We are guests at this forum. We don't pay the bills for it and we are not the ones who have to deal with the park. These are the rules we as guests have been asked to follow by those who do. Respectfully, we are all adults here. We can either act like it and move on with maturity or we could be a bunch of children and continue beating a dead horse. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyGuy4KI Posted March 20, 2019 Author Share Posted March 20, 2019 Stated by me in the other thread, but need repeated I guess. If the park is closed to the public then the park requests that any aerial or other shots of the park come from them not any other source be it plane, drone, etc. https://kicentral.com/forums/index.php?/topic/34208-i-street-pictures-discussion/&do=findComment&comment=812595 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JubJester Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 @fryoj You can still talk about things without needing drone or plane photos. What would you gain in discussion from seeing a flat piece of land? Nothing. Everything will be okay without seeing it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would you gain in discussion from seeing a flat piece of land? Nothing. Everything will be okay without seeing it. Actually I've seen the photos. There are a couple interesting things that can be surmised from them, but I'm still not sure if we can talk about the photos. I asked in another thread and did not get an answer. And, it's not about these photos. If you go back through my posts you can see where I think the issues will be down the road. Even the mods will admit they don't know how they'll be asked to enforce things in the future. A former mod even said they've been told to do worse. That concerns me as this has always been the best source of KI info. If we can only talk about official park released info, I already follow their FB and Twitter accounts. 3 hours ago, Joshua said: I mean, none of this is our intellectual property.

We can either act like it and move on with maturity or we could be a bunch of children and continue beating a dead horse. I have not broken any site rules. I have not been disrespectful. I've asked legitimate questions. Some have been answered, some have not been. This situation is changing, so to ask for further clarification is fair. Last week, Firehawk photos were ok. This week they aren't. They've deleted the photos and the discussion about them. That's been clarified. Earlier aerials and the O'Rourke demolition photos have not been deleted. Those were not released by the park either and are against the rules as have been recently explained. They weren't against the rules at the time. Theres nothing against the rules of asking why even if we all know that question will never get answered. Why the question will never get answered is where the issue really lies. I could go on, but a lot of you don't seem to care. You have the option of not reading threads that contain things that might ruin your surprise. I'd say you could ignore my posts, but it doesn't seem to be an option any more. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
