"There should be a B.O. squad that patrols the city like a "Smell Gestapo". To sniff 'em out, strip 'em down, and wash them with a big, soapy brush..."
"Why is nice bad? What kind of a sick society are we living in when nice is bad?"
Sweet!! It look sooo fun. It goes so high
Looks just like SKYHAWK
 Dont see the big deal, but Im glad its going to a smaller park.
Ugh, did it again....I clicked the back button and I thought I didnt send it yet
125 feet. 60 mph. "There should be a B.O. squad that patrols the city like a "Smell Gestapo". To sniff 'em out, strip 'em down, and wash them with a big, soapy brush..."

Exactly The Same As SKYHAWK at Cedar Point
YAY! i cant wait till next year when me and parents go visit my sister is shakopee me and my brother can make a stop at valleyfair
Skyhawk is taller. Broadway Joe
Actually, according to the Skyhawk press release, Skyhawk is the tallest in the world at 103 feet. I also know that it is only the tallest by 3 feet, so by some property a math teacher taught me once, I know that the Xtreme Swing can only be 100 feet tall.

Ok.
Xtreme Swing STANDS 100ft tall. UP to 125 feet in the air and UP to 60 miles per hour. Skyhawk STANDS 103ft. Will swing MORE than 125ft and reach speeds of 60mph. Taken from their respective websites. I will be on VF!'s first early in the season then CP's later in the season. As long as they are running when I go that is... Broadway Joe
I wasn't trying to prove you wrong, actually I was backing up your point.

I know that. Just wanted to double check myself then post on here to put it all at rest.
 Broadway Joe
^You mentioned if they are running. Do these things have a large amount of downtime to them?

Well no but I took a couple trips to CP this year and MaxAir was always down. Just seems newer rides haven't been reliablein general lately.
Broadway Joe
That is the same as the Cedar Point one but its still cool anyway.

Xtreme Swing is going to have a winter unveiling. Sort of a publicity stunt type thing.
Skyhawk is scheduled to be topped off Wednesday morning. Steel supports going up Tuesday. (weather permitting) Broadway Joe

They both look cool, they are both a cool concept, plus they are pretty much clones. I hope to ride skyhawk sometime soon.
I'm running to Bull on opening day, anyone gets in my way and they'll get trampled.
How did I know it was going to look just like Skyhawk?
^Didn't X-treme Swing get built and assembled BEFORE Skyhawk?

FYI, a few posts up, both rides are identical, but for bragging rights CP built up the footers for the ride a few feet higher. At least according to the sales rep for S&S.
