^Cobra is pretty far from Intimidator for an ert. It could just be you have to ride Intimidator and Intimidator only, doesn't sound to bad to me.

They claim it's a "hard hat area" under nighthawk. They just don't want guests anywhere near the ride.

I would say its so they can get the crane in there, I wish it woulda been opened though because it definately cuts off a lot of walking. Oh well, maybe they will have it fixed by the end of the week?

They've been doing work on the lift hill, and the last thing anyone needs is a stray tool/part/heavy thing to come tumbling off a 115-foot platform and squash someone's head.

An Intamin cable ripped out Nighthawk's A.I. nerve center. Nighthawk is no longer self-aware, and therefore can no longer operate.
