Firehawk originally debuted in 2001 as X-Flight at Worlds of Adventure in Aurora, Ohio. After six seasons of operation there, the ride was relocated by the Cedar Fair Entertainment Company to Kings Island, opening as Firehawk in 2007.
Firehawk had been a guest favorite throughout its 12 seasons at Kings Island. Although it remained popular, the ride had reached the end of its service life and was removed after the 2018 Season.
