Ed Hart has said before that he doesn't like launched coasters because they're expensive to run and have reliability issues. Firehawk is apparently both of those things. Hard to see him making this move. I don't think you're thinking of the right roller coaster, and that the coaster you're thinking of is not going anywhere anyways since it'll be open for Winterfest this year. In terms of reliability and expense, you're probably right though. That ride's horribly inefficient (and loud) My bad.

Kings Island (KI) Discussion Thread

I just can't see Vortex being the ride that is removed. It's really popular with the GP, no matter how much enthusiasts love to hate it.

Water park rules

I just visited Kings Island yesterday and it seems that they have loosened their policy this year.
