tycoonrebel7188 Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 Firehawk is now listed under the thrill rides section in the Rides and Attractions section on www.pki.com. Quote
DeLorean Rider Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 they played that video on the discovery channel in 1999 when they were talking about a new kind of ride flying into california. Quote
hauntguy Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 Looks like the screens are back in the Festhaus! YAY!!! -Hauntguy Quote
tubaman Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 Firehawk Video from Saturday Feb. 3 SHAKY CAM! AHH! Good Lord, it sounded like a mad house in that room. But, thanks for the video for those of use who weren't there. Quote
PKIVortex Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 pki.com also updated there home page with Firehawk. Make sure you allow pop-ups for pki.com. Check it out. Quote
tubaman Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 Here is a question. Anybody seen what the construction site looks like since the last flyover? Quote
tycoonrebel7188 Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 Actually in the linked article i've posted below, if you look at the pictures on the right side toward the bottom there is one of the construction. http://news.enquirer.com/apps/pbcs.dll/art...5/ENT/702050309 Quote
beastdude Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 i wonder if they'll erect the ride and paint it or if they'll paint the part individually and i know for a fact it is too cold to paint the ride parts right now. I exspect to see some major theming to go along with this ride. A great queve would be awesome Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 I am thinking they will paint it after they are done building a section. Quote
CoastersNSich Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 Looks like the screens are back in the Festhaus! YAY!!! -Hauntguy They did bring back at least one of the screens for September and October weekends when they were showing college football and NFL games. A couple of the flat screens used in the Paramount Theatre were also moved to Festhaus. Quote
Cory Butcher Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 I for one, am really excited...It has been how many years since KI has built on previously undeveloped land? Quote
Vortexlover2 Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 this is kind of off topic, but did anyone notice that the i in Kings Island was dotted with a flag? WOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! Quote
vortexdemon05 Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 I'm ready to fly even though I was ready sense 05' lol Quote
PKIMaureen Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 Hey there!! You're right..... We are using video from Stealth/BORG. The reasoning behind that is simple. We did not have enough time to have video made for Firehawk, and my friends to the north didn't have anything we could use. Soooo.....this provides an idea of what the ride will be like to those who are not enthusiasts or have not ridden the ride before. Like any video we've had (IJ, Boomerang Bay, etc) there is room for change but the general idea will be the same! Get excited!! Quote
tycoonrebel7188 Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 I believe many of us already are excited, Thanks Maureen. Quote
Mr.Son of Beast Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 Here's a high quality video http://news.cincinnati.com/apps/pbcs.dll/a...040021/-1/CINCI Quote
Cory Butcher Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 we are already very excited, Thanks Maureen! Quote
CoastersNSich Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 Watched the "Top 5" Story on Channel 5. Our Friends at Channel 5 are having trouble parting with the Paramount name. They did, though, have a good inside shot of the site with Maureen. Quote
Shaggy Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 "It has been how many years since KI has built on previously undeveloped land?" Not that many. Boomerang Bay used undeveloped land to the left of the wave pool. Here's a Post article that sheds a bit more light as well as has a construction pic. Kudos to Connie, you can always count on her to be the first to get info out there. (She loves KI.) http://news.cincypost.com/apps/pbcs.dll/ar...02050372/-1/all Quote
Vortex Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 Thank you for the video Maureen also you look very nice in your picture. Quote
tycoonrebel7188 Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 Anyone else notice the cincypost article above mentioned "the debut of five new live shows". It also mentioned that the shows would be in locations such as "International Showplace and the Nickelodeon Theater" Quote
Jasper Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 Oh yes!!! I cannot wait till more info is released and there are construction pics of it. I cant wait to get up there and try it out. With the dual loading staion i think it will raise the hourly capacity significally. Man this is awesome. Kings Island at its finest. Quote
Reclaimer Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 That was a GREAT, informative article! Some good stuff there. It's very interesting to see they have 12-18 months to transition out of the Paramount licensing agreements. Quote
The Interpreter Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 Miss Maureen (can't say that too much longer!): I am old. I've been to virtually every park in the country. Not much excites me any more. But I have to say, I, for one, am very excited about this grand new addition to Kings Island. All the changes I have seen so far point towards perhaps the best season in the history of Kings Island. And I must say, you have done a fantastic job of promoting this great new addition! Kings Island...flying high in 2007! Quote

tubaman Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 Vekoma Flyer....Been there......Done that..... I'm more excited about Mystery Mine, Griffon, Maverick and Renegade. See ya NEXT summer. Well, then look at the Maverick construction site. They've posted pull-through pictures, and although they are dated Jan. 24, I could've sworn they weren't there earlier today. Quote
ZosoBeast Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 X-Flight 2001 Travel Channel Show http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-OFWEfDSdE Was it just me? or did anybody else wanna slap that lady in the face? I dont know, just a feeling I got I guess. /not really a mean person Quote
