Hawaiian Coasters 325

I expect Kings Island to follow suit. I think Soak City can wait until next year. I never even go to the waterpark anyway because it is usually way too crowded and the lines for slides take forever.

Those who attend the first rider auction and/or the 4th of July will have the opportunity. However, it depends on waits and stuff.

I don't know John Matarese personally lol. I've met him and took a pic with him and yes, I did message him a little bit before Orion was announced and was told that the park doesn't like me doing that so I stopped lol.

Idk if they are going to do a ceremony or not. However, since they aren't doing media day, I wouldn't be surprised if they do a mini opening ceremony.

I have a feeling you aren't really going to have a choice in where you sit unfortunately due to having rows blocked off for social distancing.

Those who get to the attend the first rider auction will get a shot at night rides. The event runs from 5-10 pm.

John Matarese visited Dollywood to check out their procedures:

Invertigo was seen testing a few days ago I believe. I believe the park stated on the website that they expect all rides and attractions to be open.

I don't want to be that guy, but I think we should continue this discussion on Orion in the Orion thread. Thank you.

There is currently no date for the waterpark.

I used to live in Seymour too! I went to school in Brownstown though (Go Braves!). I usually return every summer for the Jackson County Fair (which was cancelled unfortunately).

Someone posted this video a few days ago, I don't really agree with what he said.

I took a covid training yesterday online. It didn't mention how many breaks we had. However, I don't want to risk saying anything inside that hasn't been announced to the public.

As a worker, I encourage everyone to treat each employee this season with twice the amount of respect as you usually give them. Especially since we'll have to be putting up with wearing masks all day in the heat and we'll also likely be pressured with the safety protocols.

I went to Meijer the other day and wore a bandana over my nose and mouth and it wasn't bad at all. However, I couldn't believe the number of people not wearing a face covering or if they did, it was worn improperly! Guys, it won't last forever, just wear a covering whenever you can out in public!

I like that 72 bucket! Also, I wonder what that little gazebo like thing is on the right.

Doesn't look too badly priced. I may look into it. I was going to just wear a bandana over my nose and mouth, but I may look into this.

What mask is it?

Let's go ahead and calm down and discuss our excitements for Orion! Less than 2 weeks now until my first ride at the first rider auction! While it kinda sucks that we have to wear masks, I think it'll be neat to look back on it several years from now when our next coaster is getting built where we'll discuss the opening of Orion where we had to wear masks its opening year.

Here's something I noticed in the teaser video released today! This constellation looks kinda like Millennium Force's logo if you ask me!

I believe they don't have the soundtrack in the MT queue higher because of the Fun TV's.

I guarantee you if he tries to close KI before they can open, the lawsuits will start pouring in.

Tbh I think it would be awesome if they played a projection of something like this of a meteor shower with this background in the Quonset Hut. However, I think that music is really nice and hope is part of the soundtrack!

Yes, I think this should be the end of the arguing here.

Yes, but I think that this is something worth mentioning that the park is trying to crack down on it. Let's not argue about the drone policy though. I think we should end it here.
