TheCrypt Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 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! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTD-120-420 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 It was subliminal messaging. That's why it's not turned up. If played in reverse it says "Spend more nickels." 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thunderbeast1968 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spitfire Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BavarianBeatle Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 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." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
