Reon Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 I'm guessing thats the helix? I'm trying to figure out the orientation of the ride and such. Anyways, color looks nice, and so should the ride once it's finished. I can't wait to go there and use my Maxx pass this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBannedKid Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 They need to paint it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesdillaman Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 I think they've already started, they need to prime it before final coating, hoping that's the primer, although I thought red was one of the colors of Firehawk (Does Cedar Fair build coasters any other color?)

jsguilkey Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Hey the gas is the same as Muncie, IN... just had to say it... Â I'm excited about this! I haven't touch a flying coaster before! I'm looking forward for this to be my first flying coaster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darien Laker Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 I really like that rust color. Â I just noticed how Kings Island now has way too many Arrow and Vekoma coasters in it's line-up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 ^And I like it. Vortex - awesome, great ride and no line Top Gun - Insane. No lines. Face/Off - fun ride Firehawk - I liked BORG alot. so I assume I will love this. Adv. exp. - gotta have a well themed mine train. Â Hella of alot better than a SLC, corkscrew, and an arrow looper. Hell, one of the best? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnage Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 ^And I like it.Vortex - awesome, great ride and no line T Â No line because it's a painful POS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesdillaman Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 ^ It's a shame when you consider how great a ride it once was. Â -James Dillaman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reon Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 ^And I like it.Vortex - awesome, great ride and no line T Â No line because it's a painful POS. Â Â .....And I assume your reffering to Face//Off because Vortex is the best ride KI has to offer. Heres my take on the Arrow/komas' Â Top Gun: A bit too short, but really fun. Vortex: One of my all time favorite coasters. Its a bit rough, but think of how old it is, and how mistreated it's unfortunately become. Face//Off: BOO! AE: One of my first coasters, and its still fun. Sure, its not the worlds greatest ride, but its a MINE COASTER! They're made to be family-oriented. Reptar: Pretty fun for a kiddy IMO. I honestly don't think that the Jr SLC is that bad compared to its older sibling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kennywood!007 Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Hmmm, I really think the supports should be orange. But oh well, the coaster is still a great ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

almightyfire Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I rode this when it was at Guena Lake and it was the most uncomfortable ride there is. I am 6ft and I couldnt fit well in the things around my ankle and It was totally an uncomfortable ride to me, couldnt wait for it to be over. It isnt anywhere near a TATSU.

Reon Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I REALLY hope they repaint the trains...That green just doesnt go with red. Period. Exclamation point! Â Â Anyways, its really coming along, and I cannot wait to ride it=D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snuggles Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 So... If it was a B&M flyer being relocated, and being painted these same colors, you would say "that looks nice", right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reon Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 The only thing I can really complain about is the station height right now. It looks too low compared to how it was back at GL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Sooo I was at KI an hour ago....And I asked an employee if the rusty color was a primer or final color, and they said it is a PRIMER, ONE OF MANY COATS OF PAINT. So yea, they said a ruby red color. Wahoo. Â Pics. Â Â Are you kidding me? No comments or anything? People look to much. LAZY! I like this one. That's all the pics for now, until next time! BB needs more new slides Slidesss Nice sign.....get rid of that Paramount, though I was in that little building Any off season pics will do. We need more paint. I can sense the pain already The support getter man Alot of transporting of Firehawk A monster made of many types of pains. One of 3 Vekomas at KI. I am giddy. Close up of track Face/Off and Drop Zone Hello there So close, yet so far away A look towards the entrance The whole staging area Exclusive Zoom Exclusive shot 2 Exclusive behind the scenes shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
