There was a tour of Orion today, all these pictures are from r/rollercoasters on reddit
So THOSE 2 pictures SURE make it seem like you'll be able to walk way back along the ride. Why else would the fence (and pathway) be there?
Maybe it will eventually lead to another area of the park they'll add on...

Is Vortex gone?
Or is that it's hills just to the LEFT of the Eiffel Tower?
I THOUGHT it was to the RIGHT of the tower from this camera angle?

It's kinda crazy that Google maps hasn't changed yet.
Seems like at my house the satellite images update about every 18-24 months...

Same thing happened up on the north side of Columbus at Polaris.
Concert Amphitheater was there for 8 years or so, then people started building neighborhoods behind it. Within probably 2 years they had complained enough that they got the amphitheater completely demolished! Such a shame...
It's not like those people didn't know what they were doing building a house there!!??
BTW, what does a coaster with sand in the track sound (and FEEL) like??

They’re not bolting it in, they’re lining it up.
AND that wasn't the "correct" photos of it being finished! That was the "fake" finish... so funny.
He even says "you can SEE it RIGHT there! " like he knows it wasn't really the REAL finish.

If you go to 3:20 you’re able to get a decent ish view of the landing pad area.
Awesome find! Wow. Son of Beast was insane....

Dude, I've been watching this tweet war this whole time and its awesome.
Did WildGravity take all their tweets down?? I went to go see the "war" you mentioned, and there is NOTHING posted today from them about Orion?
They DID post a YouTube video of the "fake" finale....

It's THIS the little concrete building (photo booth?) that you would walk through when LEAVING Firehawk?

Anyone have a photo from "mostly" same angle as the webcam of when Firehawk was there?
Seems like someone would, being it's just a shot from the Eiffel Tower more or less...

I honestly had a dream last night that I was watching a news story on TV where they were reporting they couldn't finish the last piece because they didn't have the correct bolts!!

Looks like they aimed it so that The Vortex demo would not be on camera now.
Weatherbug camera still shows Vortex better than nothing...

Does anyone understand why this is being called an "AUCTION"?
https://www.visitkingsisland.com/play/events/orion-first-riders-auction
They SURE make it SOUND like all you have to do is raise a minimum of $150 in donations you are "IN" to attend the event on April 9 with "unlimited" rides on Orion.
Where does the "auction" part of the name come in? They never say they are "auctioning off" the chance to ride or anything like that...
$150 of other people's money gets me a ride as one of the first people???

This was surely already brought up, but doesn't Kings Island have ANYONE under their employment that knows how to change the NAME of the cam from "Kings Island Banshee" to "Orion"???!!
Also, "Diamondback cam" is down/not working for me...

There are only 8 rows per train on Orion, just like on Banshee. The trains aren’t long with many rows like Diamondback (16), The Beast (18), Mystic Timbers (12), Vortex (14) and The Racer (15). Simply put, it doesn’t need a long station.
Yea... I guess so.
I've ridden the 4 other Cedar Fair gigas and the Orion station just seems smaller. Maybe it's just the pictures and how BIG everything else around it is...

Doesn't the "station" seem incredibly small?
Is that all of it? Just the one "hangar" shape?

Beautiful day (cold but SUNNY!) and nothing going on seems like...
Maybe they got the whole week off?

They have lights on because they’re still working back there. They got a very late start on erecting a couple of track pieces. In the morning, I bet we see the crest of the overbanked hill installed.
You mean we WON'T SEE....right?
The track is almost off the edge of the webcam right now.

Gaaack! It looks like seafoam green in that video! Must be yellow lighting. Much more "blue" in the photos above.
I hope KI has one of these trains sitting at the ENTRANCE to Winter Fest to see up close in person!
They USED to do that all the time when a new ride was coming...

I keep forgetting that after the uphill spiral at the end there's a "head chopper" run right under that tiny space at the bottom of the drop! Looking at the webcam images seems pretty tight right in there! Super cool.

Would have thought they just would have used crappier looking chain link fence or something... darn...
One of the really cool things about Fury325 is being able to get close and take some awesome pictures.
