I think it's a video of Firehawk demolition.

Knock that bastard down! Yeah, this definitely isn't getting relocated.

^Bit surreal, that, and a little bit sad. I was always intrigued by Vekoma flyers. Despite their reputation, I always thought they looked 'interesting', with a more exciting layout than the B&M yawnfests like Air and the Superman flyers. Finally got to ride one, that one^, about 6 months ago and thought it was absolutely fine. In fact, I actually rather liked it, certainly wouldn't have classed it as a candidate for demolition, and definitely enjoyed it more than the Beemers (bar Tatsu, obvs).
Now feeling the urge to nab at least one of the others before they're demolished too.

I was gonna give you a 'like' until you threw in that Banshee comment. Banshee is the dogs bollocks! Don't get the hate.

Why does Kings Island do this to us? When they tore Son of Beast down, it (for most) wasn't sad, but being my first flying coaster, and a good one too, it's quite sad.
Nah, **** it. Burn it down. Would have loved a go in that digger.
If this being removed makes space for a B&M Giga then good riddance. Shame to lose a cred, shame to lose my first flyer, shame to... oh shut up. Get rid of this old crap and get something good in there instead.

But ask yourself this question. Would you rather have this stay or get a B&M giga?

I'd much rather have a B&M giga. I honestly don't know what it is that makes it sad, but I do realize that much MUCH better things are coming.
Vekoma Flyers are nowhere near a good roller coaster concept. They're rough, uncomfortable, and at many times questionable on how actually secure riders are. But all these were reasons why they were, in a weird way, a total blast to ride. Like a freshman at their first keg party, things are loud and escalate quickly, but are such a fun thing to watch, like a car crash in slow motion.
Aww how cute - you're X-Flight/Firehawk Brothers! (Or Wingmen?)Hey man.. my home park was Geauga Lake. Don't let this chaffe your ass.
