Hank Posted February 4, 2007 Posted February 4, 2007 Thrillnetwork has a posting saying the name for the relocated coaster will be Firehawk. Anyone else hear this?
UncleHenry Posted February 4, 2007 Posted February 4, 2007 Nope. Don't know anything about that. I hear that it's just a rumor.
fan of beast Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 i did a search for Firehawk roller coaster. this was the results. Kings Island - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia An Arrow Dynamics Suspended roller coaster. ... Firehawk. 2007. A Vekoma flying coaster, originally located at Geauga Lake as X-Flight. ... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paramount's_Kings_Island More pages from en.wikipedia.org when you open the site it mentions the x-flight move but leaves out the name Firehawk. has there ever been an arrow coaster previously named Firehawk? is x-flight an arrow or vekoma coaster?
Gordon Bombay Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 ^X flight was manufactured by Vekoma, Vekoma features many of the same Arrow engineers and designers. Firehawk is the rumored name for the attraction, all will be made clear tommorow when they announce all the detaisl to the press.

Sounds like you've mixed up Top Gun and Firehawk and created a single coaster. Sorry, no Firegun. Firehawk = Vekoma flying coaster. Top Gun = Arrow suspended coaster.
flightoffear1996 Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 I think the rides name will be Firehawk. Well actually I know it will be.
PKIVortex Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 Firehawk new in 2007 and only at Kings Island.
Vortexallday Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 I'm excited that Firehawk (cough"X-Flight") will be going to KI. I wonder if this was KI plans like CF said they were gonna honor?? I'm guessing KI had 0 plans
The Interpreter Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 KI was certainly NOT buying a Vekoma Flying Dutchman from a Cedar Fair park. I can assure you that was not in the CBS plans...
upstop Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 I wonder what Paramount's plans actually were??? I think the coaster should have been called Phoenix. "Phoenix....fly it again in 2007, only at King's Island"
The Interpreter Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 I think Knoebels might have had an issue with that...
Gordon Bombay Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 I wonder what Paramount's plans actually were??? CBS still wanted to fly in 2007, just in a cheaper and maybe not as fun way....however I dont believe CF is honoring that plan.
Reclaimer Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 If CBS still had control of this park this season, the only flying we'd be seeing would be the droves of guests fleeing from the park and flying out of the parking lot. CBS was just scurrrry. (I think my hatred of CBS rivals that of Woofer's hatred of the "P" word in general) Last year just left an awful taste in my mouth...the only redeeming factors were the great employees, PKIC, and the fact that Kings Island is a special place for me. If it weren't for those three things, I doubt I would've been back for a second visit last season.
upstop Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 oops, forgot about Knoebel's Phoenix. How about Falcon, or Gargoyle, anything but Firehawk. I guess the Paramount plan called for a Volare coaster as a cheap imitation.
PKIVortex Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 OUCH if that was the case, glad that didn't happen.

Sounds like you've mixed up Top Gun and Firehawk and created a single coaster. Sorry, no Firegun. Firehawk = Vekoma flying coaster. Top Gun = Arrow suspended coaster. You know, that sounds awesome. If you could combine the swinging motions of the TG trains to the way you hang on X-Flight, I think it would be fun. I guess it would make more sense on a B&M because you start suspended. Just a thought...
Cody Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 BE SHOCK TOMMRROW! I've been giving you all hints! I hope you all used them!
Vortex Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 BE SHOCK TOMMRROW! I've been giving you all hints! I hope you all used them! lol I guess you already saw that thing posted on the net? Yes I saw that thing also.
Dane Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 There will be a update tomorrow, its been ready to go for days now.
harvesterofyoursorrow Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 Hm.. Firehawk, It seems that Cedar Fair Likes Mozilla products...
tycoonrebel7188 Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 BE SHOCK TOMMRROW! I've been giving you all hints! I hope you all used them! lol I guess you already saw that thing posted on the net? Yes I saw that thing also. Wait i personally know what the track in the parking lot is for because i was at the season kickoff party yesterday. But am I not seeing something here, what thing posted on the net are you talking about? If you wanna PM me so everyone that reads the forums doesn't see it thats ok.
Stitch Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 There was a picture of the Firehawk logo posted yesterday.
tycoonrebel7188 Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 ^ Yea I saw that, I thought maybe there was something else they were referring to that i missed.
The Interpreter Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 Flying Eagles Envole =o What the heck? Perhaps you could write in the same language the rest of us use? Envole?
jzarley Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 I'm excited that Firehawk (cough"X-Flight") will be going to KI. I wonder if this was KI plans like CF said they were gonna honor?? I'm guessing KI had 0 plans While a lot of people have repeated that CF said they would honor the same attractions as CBS had planned for 2007, that's not exactly what was said on the conference call after the acquisition. What Kinzel said, actually, was that CF would maintain the same levels of planned Cap Ex for the parks for 2007, since none of the Paramount Parks had been contractually committed to any big capital projects as KBF had been with Ghost Rider when CF acquired it. He never promised to put in the exact same attractions...only that CBS hadn't signed any big $ contracts that CF would have to honor.
Lauch Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 The pki.com website has added the Firehawk announcement to the media center page, but still has not updated the front page to reflect it. I wonder when that will change?? And I also wonder when the Paramount part of the main sign will be taken down...and odds on that one? I say they'll take it down in March.
Lauch Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 They have updated the site. Though I figured their "splash" screen would include a big Firehawk announcement. Perhaps that will be added shortly.
