Went two fridays ago the roller coaster is awsome. Wish it was a longer ride but worth the wait. wait wasnt too long either due to the fact that it seats up to four people a row and it has about 6-7 rows in a train plus they run two.

:bigthumb loved it one of my favorits because it is so different.
Check it out some time.

I would still like to find the reason it went down last season. I know it dead stopped in the middle of the tracks for no appearent reason. I don't think I will ever get on it. I was just wondering if they fixed it or not.

I rode Firehawk back in 03 or so when it was still at Six Flags Ohio. (Now Geauga Lake.) It was a pretty cool experience, but when they announced they were moving it to KI, I wondered how they'd be able to handle the long loading/unloading times. Geauga Lake is a pretty small park with very light attendance compared to KI, and the line for it still took 40 minutes.

It does look way better now. I think it was painted darker colors up there when they built it.

They're taking out the loop, so basically the whole "first looping wooden coaster" thing is shot.

when I seen it laying down in KI parking lot I think it was a forrest/dark hunter green and maybe a yellow IIRC?

Is this one big guy friendly? I love coasters but there are a few there that are quite hard if not impossible for a guy with big shoulders to get into.
