This is my fifth demolition on my track record. Screechin Eagle, SOB, Greezed Lighting and Twisted Twins previously.

 

Edit: Correction, sixth. Forgot that dumb Caripro Scooby Ghoster Coaster.

I'm not sad, I guess. I enjoyed this coaster when I rode it (and there's a good chance I still would), but I'm not too sentimental about it. Onward and upward!

You watch your mouth! I absolutely LOVED the Scooby Doo Ghoster Coaster! I was 17 the first time I rode it and loved every second including the random hard stop in the middle!

Pteranodon Flyers is still running at IOA, so you could get your fill of horrible capacity kiddie coaster there.

It seems the same demo crew that worked on SOB is back at the park for another job.........

I am glad there's photos being shared by folks involved in the removal, so it'll at least east everyone's minds on what happens to the coaster. Besides, on the photo ban on Vengeance, it probably wouldn't make much sense for this coaster since they're not re-profiling existing structure into a new ride. They're just getting rid of it.

Seeee ya. Kings Island has the quantity of coasters, but now it's time to focus on the quality.

 

If you really enjoyed Firehawk I suggest you take a trip to Carowinds for Nighthawk. You might find that you like it better with the corkscrews.

Funny how opinions differ. The corkscrews on Nighthawk were actually the exact reason I prefer Firehawk and Batwing! They felt so unnatural and awkward and really tossed you around uncomfortably.

Having ridden both I can safely say I preferred Firehawks double in-line twist, helix and fly to lie over Nighthawks double corkscrew.

[PKI Jizzman 23]

Oh well forget Carowinds then, ya'll have a great time at SFA riding Batman

[prozach626 115]

From what I've heard, no one has a good time at SFA.

Must be true, I wonder how they have remained open since 1982?

Seriously though....Is it the greatest park out there? No. But to say that nobody has fun there is just a stupid comment. You would seriously have to go into the park with a negative attitude to not have some fun.

[coasterbill 445]

It was clearly a joke...

 

What is with everyone lately?

[Canobie Coaster 112]

I guess people take things literally like Drax in Guardians of the Galaxy.

[coasterbill 445]

^ Seriously though, I feel like every post is now taken 100% literally and met with a response from someone determined to turn it into a life lesson. I have no idea when this happened (Not directed specifically at thrillrider by the way, it's more of a general observation).

[PKI Jizzman 23]

TPR's sense of humor disclaimer has been on the site for ages. How do people still miss it?

Looks like a major renovation is coming to International Street: https://www.visitkingsisland.com/blog/2019/january/international-street-and-royal-fountain-to-get-major-offseason-renovation

I can’t wait to see the outcome. I’m really happy about this.

Anybody think this is possibly setting up for a front gate rehab or completely redone like CP and Carowinds?

Is it true Vortex is getting a RMC makeover?

[TheAmericanKnight 0]

Is it true Vortex is getting a RMC makeover?

What? Where did you hear about that?

[DoinItForTheFame 4]

No. It the next coaster that will be getting the Ole’ Firehawk treatment.
