corn4ahead Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Pink? PINK? lol it would stand out, alright. Lord, the day I see a pink MAJOR coaster at a major park, I will cry. (I'm not talking FoC/Beastie, either...I said major, like Firehawk ) Here's a major coaster done in pink: http://rcdb.com/ig1213.htm?picture=2 but then again it is exotic.

Tuskin Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Thats a pretty cool racing style track. That would be nifty to have a stand up and a sit down racing each other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Well, Xcelerator at Knott`s Berry Farm has pink track. Not exactly hot pink but more of a Pepto-Bismol pink color. Xcelerator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightoffear1996 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 I always thought that was REd but with a longer look it does look pink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Yeah, it isn`t exactly a red color. There is a slight tint of white in it making it slightly pink in nature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 By that standard, many years Steel Force at Dorney Park is pink. It starts out red and fades really, really badly....Top Gun at Kings Island used to do the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 But this track started out a faded red color. It isn`t an effect of the red paint fading to a pink color, not unlike what happened with the supports for Face Off before it was repainted.

mudvayneimn Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Starting out, the ride was red, a light one (to be exact, coral red) but still distinguishably red. It just happened to fade faster since it was a lighter and so you get a bunch of pinkish looking pics of the track. Anyway if you want a major coaster with pink track in America, all you have to do is look at X. Although some might claim it is purple. Anyway, when I first heard the name Firehawk, I pictured neon orange, or keeping it green. Oh well, at least it isn't that horrid primer color.

Tuskin Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Id say X is more of a mix of purple and pink. With a darker purple then normal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lauch Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 It was nice to see all the track pieces and supports disappear from the lot. I didn't look too closely, but I believe they've all been removed and moved back. You can definitely see the coaster from the highway though. Exciting!

PKIVortex Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 I guess they won't be anymore updates, since the park opens on Saturday, and the majority of us will see Firehawk in person. I bet the steel is completely up by Saturday, if it's not already, the last update from PKI.com was a week ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkiboy Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Yes all the track is in its place and soon the Que line will take shape as well as landscapeing and other needs for the ride. Looks like the ride will open on time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 So Son of Beast will not be open and of course neither will Firehawk. What else is expected to be closed down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightoffear1996 Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I know I saw Dropzone testing Saturday when I was getting my pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tycoonrebel7188 Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 If you look at this link you can see Drop Zone testing in the background, and if you direct your attention to the left side of the screen you can see a red train on racer cresting a hill. O I can not wait until saturday to be at the park while it is alive. (even if i am going to be working the last 4 hours of the park being open) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuskin Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 So any new news on Firehawk?? Are they done painting it yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIVortex Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 There is still some painting to be done, mainly on the supports. The plaza has been completed, and they are working on installing the que rails. Testing will probably begin soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PKIVortex Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 If Firehawk is ready to roll by then. Which is should be, but things can and still could happen to delay the opening of the ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
