Good plan
Bad timing
(but still a good plan).
We all know by now... nothing ever goes completely according to plan anyway.
Theres an amusement park down this way called Carowinds (which is also operated by Cedar Fair), that has a pretty decent selection of coasters for its size. One of those is extremely similar to Firehawk except that down here its called Nighthawk. Ive ridden it several times and actually would give it the same review that you encountered. Its pretty cool, but not really worth a l-o-n-g wait (there are better coasters in the park)
Yeah,I'm sure they're probably very similar. I've heard of the Superman coaster that is at Six Flags and is supposed to be really good. I'd like to try it sometime, but only if the comparison between it and Firehawk is limited to the face down part.
I forgot to mention too... I've had knee problems before and it really hurt my knees being pinned in at the angle that the restraints bend them back. I got off the ride with a nice limp.
Well at least it wasnt a Twinkie that was thirty-five feet long, weighing approximately six hundred pounds and being used to represent the amount of psychokinetic energy present in the park at that time.
Well done!
At'a boy... Based on that reaction, I dont think yall will have any trouble with the rides at WDW
We still have a few months, and things change by the day, but I'm feeling somewhat good about it.
I hadnt heard the story about Son of Beast. The coaster I have heard of (although obviously never ridden), but I didnt know that it was idle right now. Sad.
Sad indeed. I might steal a trick from your TR and go a bit off-topic about this subject in a later post.
Strike two!
Hopefully this nonsense doesnt continue all day.
Me too.
Sounds like a good start to the day (save for the heat). Looking forward to hearing about the rest of the adventure.
Thanks!
I had the same thought when we were in Planet Snoopy about the Sea Plane ride...I tried to stear Lauren away from it so she would not even see it ha ha.
Well, we were limited to just a handful of rides even in Planet Snoopy so we tried it. That first ride was between Mom and Dad, so maybe he didn't really get the full sensation of it. Later in the day, we were waiting for someone near that ride and I saw them loading. I took DS over and let him ride right next to the door. I don't know if he could see better, or the little girl behind him yelling got him into it, but he was clapping, yelling and waving at everyone standing outside.
I think Flight Deck has a great place to wait for people who are riding...Shade!!! Shari and I took turns with Ethan on it and then keep Lauren occupied in the waiting area...
Yeah, I like the fact that it's out there in the woods away from everything. The isolation was fantastic for setting the theme back when it was Top Gun... and actually had a theme.
Ethan is a daredevil and actually wanted to do the Slingshot thing! I was not too hip on paying the extra per person fee..ok I am a cheapskate!
I can't disagree. I don't want to pay that kind of money after I already paid to get in the park... especially for something that isn't going to last very long.
I've done the skyflier thing once before, but it really wasn't worth the money.
I love Kings Island, but I can't stand Firehawk. I always feel like I'm going to fall out.
I can understand that! It definitely does give you that sensation when it flips you over.
It sounds like you have a future thrills rider on your hands. I bet you can't wait til he's 40 inches.
Yes, but he reminds me of myself when I was little. I remember when I'd always get upset that I was too short to ride Vortex. Then once I was tall enough, I wanted nothing to do with it.
I finally came around and rode it though and I've loved it ever since.
