Hawaiian Coasters 325

I can't read this too well. Can you tell me where the lift and brake run are? I know there is some type of twist over the walkway. Also, are you predicting we are going to go 7-8 years without a new coaster? Or is this just the future and we'll get some type of coaster before that like in 2024-2025? Although, since Orion is a pretty large investment, I could see us having a larger gap between Orion and the next coaster than the last two.

I decided to make a B&M floorless coaster in Action Zone (which is renamed Medieval Zone when this coaster is put in). I give you Mermaid!

I believe that crane is too small to be our crane. Here is a picture of the crane used for Banshee.

I made a B&M dive coaster in Action Zone! I give you Goblin!

Looks like they have a catwalk installed in the pre-lift and beginning of lift as well or I'm probably just seeing things.

I'm still wondering why Clifford still is not here yet. Clifford was here in early September of 2013 to work on Banshee. Interesting it is still not here yet.

It likely won't be as big. Banshee's plaza was already large before Banshee since AZ was already a circle sharing multiple rides. Area 72 will likely be like it is now, but spruced up with new ground/pavers and some theming. Plus the entrance to Orion.

Isn't really Orion related, but here is a video about inspecting Leviathan!

I don't think we'll see a new front gate. If I remember correctly, Cedar Fair representatives said they were happy with Kings Island's front gate and don't want to change it. I could see a new coaster near the gate though especially if Invertigo/Congo Falls is removed.

Clifford would be the one to lift the track pieces into place. But yes, I could see them putting all the catwalks on the track pieces before lifting them in place.

Yeah the lift will take a while. Especially since Clifford is not here yet.

That picture isn't showing the entire layout though.

It's way back in the old Giga Speculation thread somewhere. I don't know exactly where!

I know! I remember those days! The lift hills that looked like a thousand feet tall! And had a tunnel under I-71! Lol!

I believe if I looked at that picture several posts back correctly, that they put the catwalk on the track piece before they lifted the piece for Fury.

You got yelled at for watching the webcams at school/work?

That probably means Clifford will be here in the next few days!!

Looks like they are getting ready to attach Cleo to a track piece.

If I'm thinking correctly, I think what they'll probably do is connect both pieces on the ground and lift both pieces up together. I think they did that with Yukon Striker.

They're pulling the track piece over!!

Now I'm just waiting for Clifford to show up!

It took me multiple tries and it's definitely not accurate, but decided to make what Orion could look like at night. It wasn't fully night when I took this screenshot since I wanted to be able to see the site, but this was the best I could do!

Yeah! I can see that! Back in 2016, I got yelled at by my 8th grade Social Studies teacher for looking for updates on Lightning Rod when I was supposed to be working on a project with a group. Oops! I was just interested in Lightning Rod.

Yeah! I see it too!

Okay since we have the start of the lift in place, I decided to give another shot at what the lift will look like from the tower. It took me multiple tries and this is the best I did. Might still be a little steep though.
