Firehawk

I also don't see how they count 14 coasters unless Avatar is being counted as a coaster.

I would assume they are counting the racer as two.

Probably so. Then Cedar Point would have 18 (counting Gemini as 2).

Firehawk like that or Fire Hawk like this?

The 400 people per hour, per train should make for long lines. They really needed a people mover, as for an attendance of 3+ million, they sure don't have rides that have an equivalent capacity.

Hopefully this will move people off the Delirium because the wait was so long when I went last summer and I didn't get to ride it.

You can paint it, you can relocate it, you can make it recline on the lift, but in the end, it's still a Vekoma. ;)

...but one of the better ones, at least. :)

And whether or not it'll actually recline on the lift or not still remains to be seen.

Where did you pull that figure out of and what exactly does it mean? The coaster is rated at 1430 riders per hour.

That's according the to the fact sheet:

(Word Document)

So wouldn't it be 800 people per hour, if it has 2 trains in operation.

Well, theoretically, yes.

I have never seen a coaster rated like that for one and how could they change the amount of people a ride can handle per hour?

So it went from 1430 per hour down to 800 yet Stealth has a 1000 per hour rating. Wow, there really is no standard when it comes to this.

It used to have 3 trains, for one thing.

I don't even know why Six Flags buys coasters with more than one train. They never use the other ones. :)

Parts. :)

I understand the 3 trains versus 2 but BORG Asstealth is still rated at 1000 pph and they're rating Fire X-Hawkflight at 800.

Both are owned by the same company now, they could at least make the riders per hour standard.

Ha ha, when I first glanced at this topic name, I thought they were trying to say my Skyhawk was on fire!

Am I the only one who likes the logo? It's very 80's of Cedar Fair.
