I'm sure this has been said many times... has there been any word of a construction cam? You think they'll install one for post season? After Haunt? =o I sure hope we get one! =D

I edited my comment above. Mistype. Oops. LOL
I feel they'd really need a good name for Action Zone now. I 100% agree with you on changing the name, it's for sure dated. With the change to X-Base being Area 72, something about that feels very Action/Intense rides here type feel. I did like the idea someone had brought up of making it like a lost forest type deal. What would you like to see it themed/named too? =)

Good point. Very true. If the park gets too big, they run the risk of not having the appropriate staffing and resources to cover additional attractions. I guess it’s a dream-wish for me.
Very true. I think as long as they keep updating what we have, it'll stretch a long way. Next up they should really update Congo/Invertigo area. Hopefully that is lol

I agree, the original map style is better. The new one seems a tad more sloppy. Not as easy to find locations/food if you've never been. I mean it's still good, just not as good. XD

I remember someone posting awhile back that per the blueprints, there would be LED lighting similar to Fury on both the first and second hill. If that’s the case, I’m curious whether or not the lights will continue along the drop or if they’ll be segmented so that they’re only on the lift/uphill sections. I’m guessing they’ll be a blue color, but a shade of red to play off of the trains would look good as well. Stoked for some night rides on this thing next summer!
Yeah, I'd hope they do the lighting brilliantly with Orion. This ride needs the hill at minimum to be illuminated. Keep the back end dark, for amazing night rides. Do the Helix in some kind of cool circular lighting to look like a constellation perhaps. That would be nefty. =D

It is funny how some people are saying the bigger DB thing. Most GP that havent actually seen a 300+ foot coaster/Giga, won't understand until they see it soaring above in the skyline. Then they'll really be like "OMG." That's when it will really hit people. Specially seeing it from the front gate, and the whole way you're walking to it. That's the true "epic" feeling of a Giga. At least in my opinion lmao. =D

So it's funny when people state that it's a bigger Diamondback. So what if it is? It's a new dang coaster! >=D That's like saying MT is a smaller Beast. People are just goofs these days. Lmao xD a good comp, is that I don't remember anyone saying SoB was just another Beast? I know there was the loop, but this is still a groundbreaker for KI in terms of speed... Which I guess some people don't like? Baffling.. -.-

Everyone needs to spam that we demand a construction cam, or else we STORM AREA 72!

If you ask me, KI/CF darn well knew what they were doing with this coaster. Everyone wanted a Giga. So they answered the call. Yet you'll always get those new age entitled peeps that want every thing, cause they think they deserve every thing. This ride was created to please everyone! So many people whined about MT, and it turned out to be a BA addition to the park. That's what Orion will be. It's meant to eat people, and increase rideability of all other rides in the park, and be a thrill seekers dream for lower mid-west. KI is my home park, and we've been spoiled for sure with it's line-up. People will be people, they'll bash it. Then ride it, and say, "I love it, glad I was on team Orion all along." Join the band wagon.
Don't wanna be a Debbie downer, but entitled people really need to be put in their place sometimes. =)

My favorite part of the POV is to see that the Helix is riden pretty fast. I was worried as were others, that it was gonna be slow and lame. Thank you CF for giving us a darn good solid ride! =)

I don't think the name will be either. There are any number of reasons they may have trademarked those two words In terms of CF money, a trademark costs basically nothing. I'm predicting something ominous as the name, given that they invoked TEOTWAWKI (this term definitely isn't new), but perhaps that's just wishful thinking. We'll know quite soon!
Yeah at the top of this I said the same. I think those are just stars/constalation that our said, Meteor is traveling through, to crash into the Firehawk. Then our coaster will rise from the ashes of the Firehawk/phoenix.

Just to double check, where is this going to be streamed?
KI blog. Probably the fox19 news, and some youtube peeps are too.

Orionids are yearly meteor showers from Halley's comet. BTW the Perseids are just past their peak tonight but ppl may be able to see a few.
Awesome. So hopefully if it is one of two names, it turns out to be Orion! Polaris sounds weak... I know a lot of people like it. Their teasing this as a end of the world type deal, so it needs to sound mean.

The DJ said his name was “Galatic Rumor”? Maybe a hint?
Lol well it's obviously going to pertain to space. The comet landing zones make it seem like some kind of asteroid. With TEOTWAWKI being involved. It's going to be along those lines. Polaris and Orion are probably locations our said asteroid is traveling through, to hit FirehawkS area. Which will irrupt into our coaster.
That's what I think at least.

I'm excited to hear the "revealing" lines when they annouce the ride. Like, "Are you prepared for "Apocolypse"! Then it shows the official POV. XD

People are missing what may be the biggest advantage to 4-across seating: shorter trains, which means less walking for the ride ops, which translates to slightly faster loading.
Also, the 4-across trains can accommodate at least 9 rows (see Raging Bull) for a 12.5% increase in capacity over the more typical 8-row design. However, the blueprints reveal that there are only 8 rows in the station, which means that we almost certainly will only have 8 rows. Unlike the track layout, which is definitely 100% and without a doubt going to be exactly what is in the blueprints (sorry everyone, there will NOT be an inversion on this ride and the sooner you accept that, the less disappointed you'll be on opening day), I suppose the queue arrangement in the station COULD change as this would be a fairly minor tweak that could be filed for at quite literally the 11th hour. But realistically, that won't be changing either. There is a 99.999999999999999999999% chance that we will see 8 rows rather than 9 and a 100% chance that the layout will otherwise be exactly what we've already seen in the blueprints.
Yeah, I do agree with ya. 4 Seaters will blast the que quick. Besides I believe the Staggered seats just work better on a hyper like DB. They're entertaining, but for a *cough cough* Giga, the 4's work better. 4 peeps to the front row makes my life easier, and other fronters! =D Also like others have stated, just makes the coaster feel more intense through the carnage! >=D lol
