History

X -Flight was the first roller coaster type Flying Dutchman with a length of 1018 m. A few weeks after X -Flights opening was opened at Six Flags America (Maryland) with Batwing an identical plant. Due to the small number of visitors from Geauga Lake, the park owner Cedar Fair built from the railway end of 2006 and transported them to Kings Iceland. In February 2007, Kings Iceland announced that they will receive the car and that it would open on Memorial Day weekend. The neon green track and dark gray supports of X -Flight were repainted accordingly in red and silver gray. Firehawk was officially opened as planned on 26 May 2007 at the time of the Memorial Day weekend. The second track was not opened before the following weekend on June 9, 2007. Originally, the seats should be put back on the lift hill instead of in the station and should rise again before the station is reached again.
