2011Beast Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Hey all, I am going up tmrrow morning (sunday) and was wondering for those who rode it today if it was worth it or if we should wait a few days durring the week and ride it. How was it? Heard it was okay from a few people. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 It's a LOT better than okay. But what YOU will think of it no one knows. I would gladly wait hours for it. Some wouldn't. You won't know until YOU have ridden it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teenageninja Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 At Geagua Lake it was a good ride, and the only reason I rode it once was because the line (and we decided to go to Cedar Point for the night instead), but the line during the week shouldn't be TOO terrible, it's definitely a new feeling.

Captain Nemo Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 I arrived at FH line at 10:00 this morning and waited a good 4-5 hours before getting on. I was like all the rest who got off the ride, I said "It was worth it!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustbucket Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 My daughter and I got there around 10:05 am. We had to wait around 3 hours 45 minutes. We got on to the ride around 2 pm. We were on the fifth train. I think Firehawk feels different from X-Flight for some reason. It may be due to the surroundings. The T-shirt was quite nice. Be prepare to wait. They were running one train only and the loading was quite slow as expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Gabriel, we waited about five hours to ride Firehawk the first time! I`d say the ride is definitely worth the wait. Hopefully, when they get two train operation going, the line will be a little more reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DropZone99 Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 I waited for hours, then i got out of line because it was closed so i had to go to the back of the line. When i finnally got to ride it, it was defanatly worth it. I was Firehawk's 1,620 th. rider!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were these two younger girls that were waiting like 10 people in front of me that just randomly got up and left the line after waiting several hours. Too bad it opened like 30 minutes later...

James78 Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Hey all I'm new here. I went to the park today with the sole intention of riding Firehawk. I got to the park around 9:30 waited for the ropes to drop then made my way over. On the way I heard an announcment that it wouldn't be open until around 1 pm. So I quickly took a ride on The Racer. Then after thinking about it decided it would be best to head over there. The way I saw it was either wait for 3+ hours now or later. And besides I wanted the shirt. I finally got on around 3 in the afternoon and having never rode it before thought it was worth the wait. It was flat out awesome. Only having 3 hours of sleep because I worked the night before and being burnt to a crisp by the sun did not change my mood. It was just that good in my opinion.

The Firehawk crew said that the other side of the track won't be opening till another week, and it'll only work during weekends. =[ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, there are a million factors going into this, but I think that's a more reasonable claim, especially in the peak season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cstrwomann Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 I rode it when it was at GL it's a fun ride but not worth waiting 4 hours for. I'll ride it when they get both sides running and more trains running. When it ran at GL it ran 4 trains now they are only using 1 train. Too long of a wait in my opinion.

Erosarrow05 Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 I think there were only 3 trains purchased for X-flight... but in any case, I agree, its fun - but certainly not worth hours upon hours of standing in line... as a side note... i enjoy how the neon green is already coming back on the track in the station ... grey, deep red and neon green are beautiful...

The Interpreter Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Uh, X-Flight NEVER had four trains, It at first had three, but Six Flags rather quickly scavenged train number three for parts. It usually, but not always, did run two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIVortex Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Okay if it's true they will only use two stations on weekends, will they still run both trains even with one station? I would think they would. I could understand not using both stations all the time, using both stations takes more employees to run the ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
