When I raced back to X-Base on rope drop one morning, I walked into the quiet station (no chitter chatter among guests--yet) of Firehawk. I noticed a very minuscule amount of Bose speakers (I think there were 6). They were playing what I thought was a score from one of the Batmen movies, but they were turned down so low I couldn't make out clearly what they were playing. It's clear those speakers work, and they definitely need to be turned up louder. It adds atmosphere!

It was subliminal messaging. That's why it's not turned up. If played in reverse it says "Spend more nickels."

Firehawk looked better in green.

I love Firehawk, but hate the lines for the coaster. It may just be me, but when it was X-Flight at Geauga Lake, the ride operators seemed to be faster. The loading and unloading ran smoother at Geauga Lake. I know the crowds are not the same that have been seen at Kings Island, understandably, that was probably a major factor.

The first several years at Six Flags Worlds of Adventure told a different story.

I was not exactly a fan of Firehawk the first time I rode it because I didn't like how uncomfortable the restraints can be while on your stomach and how much you press against them during the ride. I felt really vulnerable. But now I love it, and found that the more I rode it, the more I got over that fear. Now I can enjoy the ride.

As was said after my family's first ride, "It wasn't like flying. It was like riding the bottom of a bad roller coaster."
