October 1, 200817 yr On the travel channel there is a show on called Extreme Terror rides and sure enough there is our very own, Firehawk. I never knew Firehawk was that big of a terror ride but i am so glad to finally see Kings Island make one of these shows. You guys should seriously check this show out there is a re-run at 12 midnight on the Travel Channel. Also featured has been Milly, TTD, Farenheit and more.
October 1, 200817 yr Yep -- this has been discussed before. The guy posing as a ride actor is Kings Island's own Evan Millward.
October 1, 200817 yr Author Really? I apologize i could not find a topic but i just thought it was cool to finally see KI on one of theses shows.

October 1, 200817 yr I DVRed this a few weeks ago, and kept sporadically pushing the remote and replaying Firehawk's scene. It got boring after a while, so I then watched the triple-looper in Canada.
October 1, 200817 yr Is this the show? Theirs some mistakes in their.He says that rollersoaker is the only one of its kind (FSS),and 97 degrees drop is the steepest in the U.S.And Then they call Firehawk "The Firehawk".
October 1, 200817 yr i am so glad to finally see Kings Island make one of these shows. there was one out around 2002 maybe, and it talked about Son of Beast just opening, wicked twister just opening, and Firehawk just opening as x-flight. just thought i would put it out there.
October 1, 200817 yr Theirs some mistakes in their.He says...and 97 degrees drop is the steepest in the U.S. When that was filmed Steel Hawg had not opened yet.

Roller Soaker is prototype 2 and Saturator is prototype 1, so I agree. How in the world did they overlook Carowinds and Saturator? Travel Channel and it's former parent company have a problem getting roller coaster facts right, and it gets on my nerves. Discovery has yet to air the show that was taped at Carowinds in 2004 prior to the park opening.
October 2, 200817 yr IMO Firehawk doesn't classify as an extreme terror ride. It's more exhilarating than anything else. If they wanted a ride that really scares some people, they should have featured Drop Tower and Slingshot.
