My Canon could kick your camera's proverbial arse.

KI has released its first official construction photos from the Firehawk construction site. These can be found in the KI Media Center and clicking "Construction Photos" Here's a lazy-link http://www3.cedarfair.com/kingsisland/news...cfm?item_id=487

I think it expired or something back in 2004.

Cedar Fair got the management contract for Bonfante Gardens that Paramount originally had. CF also now manages the Star Trek attraction.

Right...Things likes signs will take awhile to change. A website update could easily occur this season...and it looks like they are on their way to doing so. All I'm saying is I hope they don't half-ass it by making the sites cookie-cutter and mash-ups of their PP and CF identities.

Looking good... Hopefully they plan on updating the rest of the site, though. As of now it's a huge mash-up of the "new" parks on the header and footer of the page with all of the old content in the middle. Though I really wouldn't be surprised if they did update the rest of the pages soon...they seem to be neglecting a lot of the content on quite a few pages and I doubt that is by accident. Hopefully this isn't the last of the major changes on the site...but I doubt it will be. The one thing I am kind of disappointed with is they are making all the former PP sites 'cookie-cutter.' I was hoping they'd give each site its own personality without each having the exact same header, footer, and graphics/layouts all over the sites.

lol...We weren't talking about you. Don't worry.

If it's who I'm thinking of...You can count me in the hate-group as well.

Yeah...you'll find Woofer hates me. ..wait, you weren't talking about me? Ohhhhhh I know who you're talking about.

Rollback on my first-ever Dragster ride last May. First ride of the day, front seat, Dragster virgin -- rollback.

Uh oh. What's that sound I'm hearing? Why...It's CoastersRZ coming to explain the wonders of footings. Oddly enough, even though this article botched up so much info, they're one of the few media outlets that I've seen use the correct term. Maybe, so that everyone is happy, they should change the official term to "footerings."

7.5mil would more sense, it seems...

http://www.western-star.com/n/content/oh/s...0807kiride.html So, X-Flight/Firehawk - $750,000 with most of the rest of the $10mil going to SoB and the new entertainment. (Of course, some of that $10mil will go to general park improvements, as we've discussed all along) But darnnnn Sonny, watchu costin'?

Hey I don't blame you! Had I been a pass-holder this year, I'd have been raising hell too.

I believe all the former Paramount Parks already switched to parking on the ID when KI did. I checked out the other parks' sites and they all had removed the bit about the decal.

It wasn't scrapped this offseason. Odd. I could've sworn somebody confirmed it was removed. Oh well. I still stand by my statement...it is not coming back...even if it is still sitting and rusting in that field.

They'll start building UP! Okay, okay...I lie.

Last I recall there was a King Cobra in the park. It was removed mostly due to maintenance-related issues and sat in a field very close to Firehawk's location rusting away for years before being scrapped this off-season. Oh...that's the Cobra you were talking about? Yeah, it's not coming back.

Yes, Führer.

Some people take it very seriously. It's kind of like keeping a count of how many people you've slept with. Speaking of which...what if the person had a sex-change? Thanks, I'll be here all week.

Ryyyyyan....will you be my friend? :lol:

I've never been to GL. As such, I've never ridden X-Flight, or any of the Flying Dutchman coasters for that matter. So Swanky, how about you speak for yourself...I don't need a spokesperson. Especially one who takes it upon himself to make up facts that cannot be backed up.

Is it just me or does Maureen look kind of happy to see that Paramount mountain gone?

They couldn't find any? I'll be here all week.

I find it funny when a member joins a great community just to troll the site about how much he thinks a ride sucks. Sorry buddy, methinks you're either really bitter about losing X-Flig...err, Firehawk, or you're just plain stubborn. It's Cincy's time to fly.
