I was looking at pictures of Firehawk at Kings Island and noticed yellow bow like things on the loading platform, what are these. They were not on X-Flight at Geauga Lake.

I was gonna say the same thing Dragon Fly. To answer your question though, it looks like they are what tip the cars down into flying position, same as these things on the B&M flyers: http://www.rcdb.com/ig1977.htm?picture=5

Thanks for the answer, except does that mean they got rid of the origional lift/lowering systems on X Flight.

Thats what it looks like. Thank GOD too. All the mechanics and computer electronics required to lift each car like it used too is what CAUSED it to break down every single day.

Taking a page from B&M's simplistic book is a good thing.
