I am thinking the ride will be open durning the week of memorial day so they can get the kinks out of the way with lesser amount of crowds in the park.

Where did the one train rumor come from? According to everything that has been mentioned, everything is on schedule

Probably from the fact that there is only one train on the tracks

^Alot of work can be done during the week when the park is closed.

Can anyone confirm that there is still only one train on the tracks?

I'll be at the park on Friday, I'll take a look.

Just because there is only one train on the tracks one week before it opens doesn't mean its going to stay that way. They are probably just using one train for all the testing they have to do, and then they will bring the other train out and practice running both for next weekend.

I believe the one train rumor came from HERE:

How reliable is that? You be the judge...

Three trains would be amazing... two trains would be good.. one train would be atrocious.

Per a friend who was working in the park yesterday, both trains were on the track and cycling. Guess an official confirmation can be made this weekend, but thats the latest I've heard.

Does he know when the ride would open.

Kinda strange since they were only putting the second train on this morning when the park opened.

Trains that can go on a track can come off a track.

And vice versa. Heck, I once saw a particular park take a train off and put it back on seven times in the same day.

Imagine that.

Does anyone know if the state has even looked at the ride yet?

The definition of insanity is what?

I remember when MF opened in 2000. There were only 2 trains operating due to the third train not having enough cycles (insurance or safety issue?). Opening day was rather ugly, great weather but also a great line. Let's hope that there will be 2 trains.

I would have to guess that the best time for the ride to open would be next Wednesday. The park needs some time to break the crew in. Breaking the crew in on Saturday would be ugly.

^ Yes that is what I am hoping because I won't be able to make it to the park until MOnday otherwise.

according to cewldre from this site...there are 3 trains on the track as of 11:30 this morning...2 in the station and one on the maintanence track near the lift hill...he is unloading a truck in our warehouse which is literally about 20 feet from the ride itself

O that is really nice. Is the ride testing?

Can we get some proof in here? Maybe a picture or two. I know pictures have been taken from near said warehouse before.

I'm not really sure if he's taken a picture of it or not as he is working and i'm not sure if they were testing i just asked him to check out and see how many trains were on the track...take it for what you want but i tend to believe him...and as far as testing goes he did say he heard a new siren going off in the park the other day for the first time several times but did not see them actually testing them

It would not be that hard to make a new train to go with the other two. All of that money was for more than just the coaster.

I know cewdlre personaly and I would tend to think he is a pretty honsest guy.

Sure...but can he count?

Okay I just check rcdb.com and Firehawk is listed as having 3 trains. Also still no picture or word on SOB.

I was talking to someone that was actually running the ride and at the time it did have 2 trains.

That is music to my ears...

Well if the coaster can run 3 trains it would be smart to buy a 3rd train since the park bring in allot of people and this coaster will probably be a popular ride for some time.

The park has been very crowded on the days I have been to th epark so far.

according to the Firehawk page on the ki site the ride has only two trains

He knows how to count money at the game booths Wouldnt be so sure how much he actually knows about maintenance/operations.

According to the original press release for Firehawk, it will be running two trains. The third was in fact parted by Six Flags.

So at Worlds of Adventure, at least, we can say X Flight and its third train were soon parted?
