Didn't you also tell me you have permission to fly over the park during the off season? I can't wait! More than likely. I do, but I also will not be uploading every single picture I take. They will also be ran through the park first before posted, out of respect. 5 KI FANATIC 37, Jallie79, Bwb.32 and 2 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Patrickbateman86 47 Report post Posted August 18 I feel like with Orion they have just trimmed the fat on the other gigas. It's more succinct and devoid of the pandering elements. 3 1 coasterfanatic83, KI FANATIC 37, Zayzayd13 and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rivertown Rider 1569 Report post Posted August 18 I like that they are trying to preserve as many trees as possible with this layout compared to Diamondback where they seemingly just took out everything in a half mile radius. Obviously a lot trees were still taken out but it doesn't appear that they are taking anything out that is not necessary. 4 1 1 1 Shawn Meyer, Melody, coasterfanatic83 and 4 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is there airplane police lol all the flying makes me so curious. If you dont mind me asking how much does it cost to take off and fly over KI? Where do you take off from? Can you take passengers? Possibly Passengers with a RED camera to film ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flightoffear1996 3246 Report post Posted August 19 The only thing with this new coaster is the insanely high brake run. Seems typical of the B&M giga I guess to take off some of the workload off the brakes but it just looks extremely odd. 3 Shawn Meyer, Melody and decyferite reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lifetimecoaster 633 Report post Posted August 19 I'm not going to lie, every day I jump on the KI website to see if that new cam is up yet. I have to imagine that they'll start going vertical in the near future. The footers are there, and there is steel showing up. I'm still stoked for a new ride experience. Can not wait for next season 6 FlyMartyFly, Melody, Shawn Meyer and 3 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jallie79 529 Report post Posted August 19 I personally can't wait to see what the area will look like with the Area 72 retheme. What's everyone's thought process on it. I am on the fence as to weither or not it's eventually going to be an entire new area (extending down to the old DA entrance). I dont think we'll see that during this off season though. I still feel that they are eventually planning to move the maintenance shop out to the new building that was built earlier this year and removing the current shop. Don't really wanna see much past the end of Racer though. I think the fact the turnaround is secluded (sort of) will add to this ride. 3 Melody, Shawn Meyer and Beast Night Rider reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Beast, and Diamondback being out away from ambient light when you're doing a dark ride is AMAZING. 3 Melody, Jallie79 and MDMC01 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikejenkins1 192 Report post Posted August 19 They are putting up what looks to be a building about 2/3 the way down the ride in the woods. You can see the concrete from the Blue racer.
