**Update** Today, Firehawk was running both Yellow and Red train. One of the ops said there is a third train comming and he thinks it is Silver. The line looked like it moved same with one train op. One train in the station and the other baking on the open brake run. Well....atleast it has two trains running, but they weren't using the dual station from what I saw too...I wasn't expecting that to be used, but still an extremely SLOW line. For all those coming to KI......get on this first. Even with no line....it would problly take 20 minutes to get on and off. rode the Racer twice after work...fun times.

The Rumor / Crazy Idea Superthread

It's a possability! I'll take a Rita, custom, or a new model! Just...please not a TTD or mini KK -
I dont get it how can firehawk be better than BORG but you then go to say that you like borg's theme and atmo"sphere" 1000000 better and you like the corkscrews better but firehawk>BORG?? Must be a fanboy thing... Sorry dude, not a fan boy. I like my home park a lot, though. What I am saying: Right now, BORG's atmosphere is better. You could walk underneath it and everything. Firehawk's isn't. I like Firehawk's ride better, though I would prefer the corkscrews over barrel rolls. And to me, the ride beats the look of it. What do you work ,Reon?

Well, I got my 60th credit on Firehawk today! I waited 1 1/2 hours total to get on and off. Still one train op. The op said that there was a breaken sensor on the other train. (With every restrain lock, there is a sensor; every lap bar, seat belt) So they are checking everything on that. It was about 91* degrese out and after someone in line passed out, they gave us free water! Hour and a half go by of slow moving, and we finally get to the station. I am happy to hear the ops getting everyone excited; a sign of CF work, and I REALLY like that. The seats are more uncomfortable than I remembered, especially on your back and chest :\ It is still a great ride. Smooth as glass and a quick lift....BORG's was slow and silent, I liked it. Firehawk's is loud and quick. Overall, a very fun ride. Loop is forceful, smooth transitions. The station is still meh to me...but I really really like the colors. Goes well behind FoF. I hope X-Base becomes a whole new area. Firehawk > BORG Assimilator I like BORG's theme and atmosphere 100000 times better, but hey; it's " new" I liked the corkscrews alot better than the barrel rolls. They are fun, but nothing great. But...the helix made up for it. Could have been the best part of the ride! Flirehawk and FoF each had about an hour wait because of the popular area. Everything else was under 20 minutes! I got rides on: Drop Zone - 4 <3 Delirium - 2 Racer (B) - 2 Top Gun - 3 Face/Off - 2 (ow, my ears) Beast - 2 (nice and smooth! But the trims take away any airtime D': ) Firehawk - 1 Vortex - 1 IJST - 1 (heavy staking...crew today sucked) It was a good, very hot day. I was expecting higher crowds. Firehawk #1 coaster at KI? Psh, nah. It's just a fun ride. Go on Drop Zone or FoF or something...... PS - my camera is still broken I'll be working tomorrow and Sunday. I work in the blue section (Coney Mall...name is Zach. Say hi!)

^I have to agree, I went to CP two years in a row on a Thursday and Friday, the last two days of summer vacation. Only Dragster and MF had a line about 1/2 hour. -
