FUN&ONLY!

What? You don’t like KI over Kings Island? LOL!

This is what we have so far. Things may change, but this is all we have from the park as of now. I am personally hoping for a big ORION sign near the news truck because Cedar Fair always has the most detailed and ascetically pleasing entrance signs!

I am still wondering what happened to that guy who broke his non-disclosure agreement and leaked the layout! LOL!

I think he means all types of drawings and digital drawings. Paint.net would probably work.

I have heard this too. I heard they allow more "give" than previous B&M vest restraints.

It looks pretty good!

Is that real? LOL!

Thanks! I thought the fog was cool too especially because it is right above the Little Miami River back there. The picture just wasn’t clear enough to show all of the work that was going on in greater detail, but I am glad you liked it! Here are some more photos of the fog! LOL!

So here’s this...

Took this with my phone yesterday. I know it is not that good! LOL! The supports definitely look more of a light grey than white in my opinion.

This was leaked by a local news station! LOL!

Wait a second! Are you telling me there is more than one Six Flags? - Literally every GP with a Six Flags as their home park! LOL!

I honestly don’t think this coaster is ever going to see the light of day. It is too ambitious like Son of Beast, and we all know how that mess ended up!

I second this! I have no idea as well...

I found this on Instagram! This would look amazing as a new front entrance to go along with Orion. I am not sure where this is from though...

I would take a B&M floorless any day! They would probably have the next generation floorless trains with vest restraints which would be fine by me. Kings Island could easily smash records with something like a floorless too as none of those records have been broken in a long time. Or we could always get that B&M Surf Coaster or whatever that is supposed to be!

Auto correct... Before anyone says anything about King Kong! LOL!

I noticed the fountains were not working on the antique cars also when I went on Friday. I also noticed that the fountain by Viking Fury was not working, and I think I only ever saw that working one time this season.

LOL! This guy has no idea what he is saying. He would prefer a 300 foot tall rollercoaster with a 287 foot drop. The drop is all I am concerned about tbh... you feel the drop way more than the height. I put a ride in a certain category based off the ride experience and elements is has. Technically, Goliath at La Ronde is not 200 feet tall nor does it have a 200 foot drop, but it has the elements of a hyper. If it feels like a hyper, I call it a hyper. Orion has giga-like elements, and it will feel like a giga therefore I call it a giga if the 300 foot drop is not enough to already call it one. Giga is a made-up term anyways, so there really is no solid definition of what one is.

Technically if this giga wanted to break any real records, it would have either have to be taller than 367 feet and faster than 112 MPH. Those are the records of Red Force which is the current tallest and fastest giga coaster. Or they could make it the longest giga, but Steel Dragon 2000 is so long, that ours would have to be super long as well. These records would be incredibly hard for Kings Island to beat, and I could see B&M not willing to make a coaster that tall. Breaking those records would also be very expensive. I know, I know, people are going to say that Carowinds still advertises Fury 325 as the world’s tallest and fastest giga coaster, but I don’t see Kings Island “lying” about a newly built coaster because people would accuse them of lying about its records. Also, for those who say Red Force does not count as a giga coaster, Kings Island counted it as one of the seven gigas in the world when they announced Orion, so they would definitely not be able to pull that off. The park could have broken North American records, though, but those are not nearly as interesting.

Let me guess... it is an Intamin Blitz? LOL! I would love that!

They repurposed the old Firehawk entrance building. Also, can I mention, the news truck before the queue, should be a WCPO van with a picture of John Matarese in the window.

That is the ride entrance!

I am sure this is not the case in real life, but in the animated POV of the ride, the first drop looks a little bit rattly.
