Rollercoast19 Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Hello, This was my brother and I's second visit to Kings Island this year. I was wearing my black 2007 Kelly Cup Playoffs Dayton Bombers vs. Idaho Steelheads shirt if anyone saw me. We got there around 1:30 and headed straight back to Firehawk. The employee at the beginning of the line said it was a two hour wait which didn't seem so bad compared to some of the wait times I have heard. When we got in line they were running the red train and having the yellow train cycle with no passengers. After waiting 30 minutes they began loading the yellow train with passengers, using both stations. This caused the line to move a lot quicker and it was only a 30 minute wait longer to get in line at the station. While in the station it seemed the yellow train broke down as some maintenance workers walked to the ride ops and they didn't load the yellow train. This allowed us in the red train to go next. I love when the cars lay flat. I think the best parts of the ride were when we flipped over and the loop. Overall Firehawk is awesome and I can't wait to go back and ride it again. When we got back into the station they still hadn't loaded the yellow train. We then headed over to The Beast which had about a 30 minute wait. Still a great rollercoaster. Then we did the Dodgems, good times! Then we rode recaR, red train. The ride ops were racing the trains perfectly, very fun. I love this ride, it is soo smooth and give great airtime especially while going past the theatre. We then rode Adventure Express, Delerium, and Top Gun. I personally don't like riding Top Gun because I never really trusted the restraints, but since they added the belts we decided to ride it. When we got to the top I remembered another reason why I don't ride Top Gun so much. For some reason when you get to the top and turn to go into the drop I get this feeling like the car is going to fall off the track. I don't get this feeling while riding Face/Off. But once we got to the drop I felt safe and Top Gun is a great ride. It was a great day and perfect weather. I can't wait to go back again.
