Cory Butcher Posted May 21, 2007 Author Share Posted May 21, 2007 Firehawk Opens This Saturday!! Opens May 26, 2007 Park open 10am - 10pm First 2500 Riders Per Day Get A FREE T-Shirt! NOW YOU CAN FLY!...at Kings Island beginning Saturday (Memorial Day Weekend) as the park celebrates its 35th anniversary with the much-anticipated opening of Firehawk, the park’s 14th imaginative roller coaster. Firehawk, the innovative flying roller coaster, propels riders 115 feet in the air and through five inversions at speeds of more than 50 mph – all while the riders are facing the ground, giving them the inconceivable experience of human flight. To celebrate the opening of Firehawk, Kings Island is giving away special commemorative Firehawk T-shirts to the first 2,500 riders each day from Saturday May 26th through Tuesday May 29th. The new Firehawk roller coaster is located in the Coney Mall themed area of the park. After boarding the coaster, riders are lowered backward to begin their ascent up a 115-foot-tall lift hill, only to be flipped over and jetted at top speeds through ½ mile of steel track over the course of 2 minutes and 30 seconds. click on upcoming events Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWildman424 Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 YAY!!!!!!! I can't wait until I get to ride this thing. Its nice to know that there is now an opening day schelduled instead of just speculation on whether or not its gonna open on time. I know as well as most other people that its still not 100%, but we'll find out in less than a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
