New Pics

The Loop has now been dismantled.

I guess no one in interesting in talking about X-Flight anymore, but if anyone cares to look at some more pics, I was there again today and quite a bit of the lift hill is now gone.

It appears that Steel Venom is still intact.

I think the main thing is that there's really not much left to discuss. It's a done deal; we know it's moving, we know where and when, what color, what name, and so forth. It's not like with Maverick where there are many unanswered questions about the ongoing construction and the future ride experience.

I'm sure lots of us here still really appreciate you continuing to post the pics, self included. :)

Yesterday at ACE's Winter SOAR at Kings Island, we got to go on a brief construction tour of Firehawk. I got some pictures if anyones interested.

Those footers don't look like they're for the former X-flight. I think they're just storing it there and a 500' coaster with 17 inversions is actually being built.

;)

Nice update though, thanks Jason.

Thanks for the pics Jason. It's going to be interesting to see how they get this ride up and ready by Memorial Day. That's less than 3 months, and not one piece of track or support has even been erected yet.

They said the ride should start giong vertical in about 2 weeks and that they are still shooting for memorial Day weekend. They also said they will be using both loading stations.

I would think since all the supports and track are numbered, and the coaster has been together 1x already, it would be cake to put it back together again.
But what do I know?

I'm sure X-uh..Firehawk it will be up and running as scheduled.

I just noticed I was in the last blog. http://rollercoasterfreak.com/2007_ACE_Events/2007-03-03_Winter_SOAR/Me.bmp

I also got some pics of X-Flight or lack-there-of on Wednesday and Today.

I'm the one that showed the Bat/Vortex video and the KI History Video :)

I'm sorry, I know this is the wrong blog but how are the lines at Geauga Lake? I got the maxx pass this year so I really want to know about Geauga...

btw... I prolly wont be getting on here later.. so just IM me if possible

Right at this moment I'm willing to bet they're empty.

If you're too lazy to come back and check about a question you ask then don't bother posting it.

wow... u think ur so cool going off on 13 year olds..

He isn't trying to be cool, he is just making a point. More than likely, if you can check your IM messages, you're already on the computer; so you can probably check this site. Like he said, it's not hard to check here if you're going to post the question. I realize your IM s/n is in your profile, but why should someone look it up and answer your question just for you, when they could easily answer it here, for many to see? Don't be all defensive.

I can call you an idiot and be cool.

^ yr an idiot (and i wasn't doing that to be cool)

^

That's good 'cause you should at least spell correctly before you start calling names.

bubbakevjr,

So you're using the,"I'm 13 so I can post stupidity" defense?

If you're old enough to ask stupid questions then you're old enough to get stupid answers. Suck it up and move on.

If you have enough energy to make it all the way back to this thread again, the ride side of Geauga Lake last year was almost always a walk-on.
