@malem and I give Orion 2 thumbs up!

Canada's Wonderland in 2019: Hold my Syrup

Sorry. Anybody that refuses to wear a mask in public when it is impossible to socially distance 100% of the time is an incredibly selfish/heartless human being. As we are finding out, there are a lot of these people in America. I'm not remotely in the high risk category, but no way would I ever go out around large groups in public right now without wearing a mask and trying to keep my distance. It's not about you. Anybody could have this virus asymptomatic and be harming or killing other vulnerable Americans. Also, don't kid yourself. This virus KILLS many more people than just the feeble/elde

You mean how good was the mask enforcement? C'mon people. It's a pandemic here and America is the epicenter by far. Thus thing is on the verge of being out of control again and theme parks will be forced to close again when that happens. Wear your masks and quit being selfish.

As they should be. It should be nationwide.

Group of 3 we were separated, just have to ride a few times to get to get our normal 2/row rides. They have been extremely fast with the cleaning cycles as well. This is my favorite nonspoiler pic so far.

The theming is fantastic! Obviously not disney levels but pretty darn good. Even better than the Mystic Timbers shed lol

I'm looking forward to helping you all experience it myself. That being said, here's my analysis from last week. Sideways airtime hill is fairly weak, but is probably good with a full train. The turnaround provides a lot more intensity than you would think. You get a bit of ejector on the speed hill, and flojector on the airtime hill. The helix is probably the biggest underdog of the ride, was fast, and provided a lot of good forces. The last 2 hills are nothing to scoff at either as they provide some quick floater to finish the ride. I was smiling hands up throughout the ride, and I do think

You know if this country thought more about others then all about me attitude we'd be doing better. I find it baffling the many who'd rather pass on rhetoric of if you're scared yada yada... than listen to actual experts in the subject matter. The cdc is made up of people who spent 10 plus years gaining their masters and doctorates in micro biology and infectious diseases to study and help fight these viruses. their agenda? the health and well-being of this countries citizens and help keep them safe and informed as best they can. Oh my god how dare they /sarcasm ... But sure your high

He gets it and y’all should too. A few months ago we weren’t sure if Kings Islands would be open it all this year. Now we have an opportunity to enjoy the Park we all love again. Are masks fun? No. Nobody likes wearing them. But it’s a small ask for such a unique world situation right now. It has nothing to do with freedom. You are choosing to go to Kings Island. Kings Island is choosing to help make their employees safer.

This makes me so happy!

Rode a second time and it was better than the first in row 7. It does not let up and you are getting ejector air half the ride. Please don't judging it in one ride alone.

Looking forward to reading some reviews this evening before I ride it myself tomorrow morning. Woooo

But... but... muh FrEeDoM! Constitution! Tyranny! Socialism! And other scary sounding words I'll use out of context!

As this thread is coming to a close, I want to say this has to be the most fun construction thread I have seen. I read through the Banshee and Mystic Timbers threads and I think this was better than those imo.

Seems to me like everyone is forgetting there are people who will be at the park whose income depends on being at the park, the employees. Wearing a mask help protect them as well. I'm sure the pool of possible employees is down this year because of people who don't want to be exposed and are choosing to take a year off of working. But wearing a mask is the least we can do to help out those who put themselves at risk just so we can enjoy the park. Thank you employees!

Orion has exceeded my expectations. The ride is fantastic from beginning to end. The first ride does not disappoint at all! The biggest surprise for me was the final little hill, a very fun way to end the ride. The biggest let down with this ride is how hard the trim hits but that can of course change in the future.

They maybe should have put some man made water under this thing for added scenery/atmosphere. Anybody agree? Scenery is what gives MF a little extra boost. Anyhoo, sounds like a great ride all around regardless.

Back row....WOW!!

It was great! Oh and FOF ride photo area

The most airtime of any gigacoaster in Ohio is in Mason. I’m no fanboy but MF is better.

This is bad for your health.

Heading to Kings Island right now, I’m hyped

Almost 1 out of 100 people die in car crashes on their way to the park??

Oh man. It's getting real now. Less than 24 hours until I get to ride this baby. Freaking stoked.

Found a tease to Magnum XL - 200 lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Kings Island knocked it out of the park with the theming! The whole area is just very well presented!

The pics make me feel like the overall theme is very well implemented. I like it a lot!!

The health screening is for your party. It states, "In the past 14 days, have you or anyone in your party..." I take this as you do one survey per party.

Y'all better be posting first reaction stuff for yo homeboy down in Nashville.

I’m so excited to be on the first train

Problem there is, you're also not going to find a country where the cases reached a massive peak, dipped way back down, and then exploded even higher than before (as the US has done). It's just not a comparable situation, because nobody's mishandled this virus as bad as the US has.

Here's a side by side by side comparison of all the B&M gigas

I have not seen any issues with masks tonight. Everyone weearing them and social distancing being followed.

I agree that we should wear masks. I was asking how the mask enforcement was because I had heard that people were disappointed.

It is out of this world! This is the best theming I have seen for a CF park.

For what it's worth, it looked like White Water Canyon was open for the employee night on Monday. Was watching the Mystic Timbers webcam and saw people walking back there.

The queue looks amazing!

I loved Orion. it had more airtime than I expected and maintained its speed all the way until the end. Obviously I wish it were about 1000 feet longer, but it’s great to have a giga coaster at Kings Island.

This, the Decoding 2020 Thread, and the Giga Speculation Thread account for three fulls years of speculation on this project. I can’t wait until the next construction starts! LOL!

Looks pretty cool tbh.

The day is the day Volunteers are needed at Kings Island at 4 p.m. until we let people into the simulator at 5 p.m.

No pictures in this one, so I hope my word pictures suffice. After losing count of how many weeks had transpired between last season and today, I more-than-readily made it through a near-zero-visibility thunderstorm for a six-mile stretch on I-71 to Kings Island to attend Friends & Family Day. One parking spot search and sunscreen slathering later, I made my way to the front gate, donning my mask as I approached. I first entered the health screening tent, where I was asked the health questions we all know and love before proceeding to stand in a marked rectangle where a camera s

Guys just wear maks! Dad told me to wear it when I mow and pull weeds and it not bad at all!!!!! Be happy and enjoy King's island because it been closed I can't ride Daimonbdack and we are happy but I am gonna miss the carnival!!!

This is honestly how I feel. We are EXTREMELY cautious and have not done many things since the pandemic started that we would normally do, but I feel relatively safe going to KI (although I'm still very, very concerned about the whole "everyone arriving at 10:30 and flooding the area by the gate" situation).
