I don't remember the tour but I'll never forget the sound of that lift hill!

sounds like a good RMC lift hill lol 

I'm probably one of the few that misses it. I will say that I am grateful for Orion and in terms of re-rideability and enjoyment, Orion is definitely the winner here. But that doesn't negate the fact that I do miss Firehawk. It was something different compared to the rest of the coaster line-up and with there not being a ton of flying coasters out there in general/especially Vekoma Flying Dutchmen, it was unique in that regard. Not to mention it being a GL transplant, it had some history behind it. 

Sad that it couldn't be relocated, but understandable. Maybe some day we will see a new Vekoma flying coaster stateside. 

It was quite the experience if you were lucky enough to get through the queue without it breaking down. I swear that thing was down more than it was up.
