How Long did you wait in line for Firehawk?

[notredame0608]

hey im going on june 2nd and i wanted to know how long the average wait for Firehawk will probably be. tell me how long you waited!

[Gordon Bombay]

hey none of us have crystal balls nor do we work for the park or provide estimates. There are many factors that contribute to the line and crowds, your going on a saturday, odds are like most saturdays it will be crowded, be prepared to wait a LONG time.

It also depends on the # of trains they have running on Firehawk. Most people yesterday would have waited half the time they did if both trains were running. Have fun.

0 minutes. I took some photos, went up Eiffel Tower and left. I'll go back in a couple days when they've had a little time to smooth things out a bit.

[DropZone99]

I waited about 5 hours.

It was woth it though, my new favorite roller coaster at Kings Island.

The Q-Line was pretty nice, theres an umbrella with people at the end of the Q and they tell you when you go to the station. Only 6 people at a time can go though.

[James78]

[DropZone99]

Defanitly worth the wait though.

[pkiboy]

Waited 2 1/2 hours today first trian of the day. If any one saw some one with a Maverick shirt on that was me.

I was there for open on the first day and I waited 3.5 hours. I got to the park at about 9:45 and then sprinted to the ride. Then we had to wait until 1:30 for the ride to open. The shortest wait you'll probably get is 2.5 hours and the longest I've heard so far is 5.

[BoddaH1994]

3.5 hours including waiting for it to open.

[welchce]

I waited about five hours (including waiting for it to open).

I went to KI on Saturday May 26th and the line was 4 hours long. I didn't ride it on Saturday because they are only running one train and I rode it before at GL. Sunday the ride was closed all day due to mechanical problems. I'll go back probably in the Fall and ride it when they get all the cars running and get the kinks out of it.

Sorry you missed Firehawk today. It had a 3 hour hiccup in the morning which delayed its open, and then went down a few times in the evening due to weather, but it certainly was open. I rode it. Good luck on your next trip, I'm sure you'll enjoy it!

[cstrwomann]

I got to the park at 10 and I left around 3 to drive back home. What time did it open? What's the problem with the ride that it can't be open with the other rides at 10 am ? How long did you wait?

[Jamesv7]

me and my family waited 4 hours on opening day of the ride. After they got it running it was only a 30 min wait.

[adventure2007]

Well hey hey everyone , I got there first thing in the morning sunday and it took three hours to ride it. What was weird to me is that you had to wait till 6 o clock in the evening to pick up the shirt for being on of the first riders. Why not just hand it to you at the end of the ride.

[PKIVortex]

Probably for crowed control. Who knows.

[adventure2007]

In regards to my last post I do have to say that Firehawk is my new favorite ride at the park and cant wait to ride it again. I didnt mind the wait either. I kind of felt like i was being made a part of history as one of the first Firehawk riders at Kings Island. It will be something cool to tell my nephew about when he is old enough to enjoy the park. That his uncle was one of the first riders.

If your a once a year visitor to the park..or a tourist staying for several days.....I can understand waiting for several hours. Gold Pass members who waited need to get a life..geeeeezz...we can ride it anytime...why stand in the long lines.

[flightoffear1996]

I waited cause I wanted a free shirt.

Actually, I see it the other way around. If your a gold pass holder, you're probably in the park several days a season so you can afford to blow half a day on one ride.

[bonafidefreak]

Maybe I'll just blow the $12 for a wheel chair and push the wife right up the exit ramp

[PKIVortex]

LOL too bad you'll still wait just as long as everyone else does. At least in the past few years, they made you wait just as long as the line is to get on with a wheel chair.

[Ki Man]

I waited about 1/2 hour in line yesterday at 6PM. It closed for weather while Drop Zone was still running. Atleast they gave out t-shirts! So....I'm an 'unofficial 2,500 rider'

I agree with BoddaH1994. Now that I have a season pass I don't feel as rushed as when I only had a single day admission. If I only had a single day admission, there would be no way I'd go on a ride's opening day because of unforeseen malfunctions and the possible crowd size.

[Raptor66]

1:15 not a bad wait for me.

[TOPGUN1993]

I waited about a Hour.

Neat Pic
