Id say he speed hill as well. That a big helix and still have another airtime hill after the speed hill.

CP has 4. SFGAV- 5 We tied with Buch Tampa & Seaworld with 3 a lot of parks have three.

How tall def matters. B&Ms are loud. And the taller they are the louder they will come down flying through the drop. The article mentions Diamondback multiple times. Not Backlot stunt. They clearly did there research they know that Orion is the same company as DB and they know about the sand in the tracks.

I like this point. When I first saw the Orion prints I was so surprised at the lift direction I really wanted to see a lift going up to the left of the tower. I bet this had some to do with it as those houses are to the left of the orion site

Expand it towards Soak City not into river town again. Yea I wonder when they rip that log ride out and put a flat in. Wish Kings Island had a bigger log ride

Thats a great idea! Put it over there. Or put it behind the petting zoo and expand a lil bit of Planet Snoopy

I wonder how much it costed to bring that support down and then put it back up. Like its's probably pennies to the project but maybe 100-200 bucks like if you added up workers and crane use. Literally not a big deal just wonder if that's a thing. Anyone know?

Hey thanks for keeping an eye out for me, cool having other enthusiasts help me out! I went to Procam because I know the owner and always told myself when I buy my camera I'm getting it in Cincy, didnt want to spend that money for a box in the mail wanted to go into a store lol. Anyways. ORION, anyone who hasnt seen it yet. When people say on here pictures dont do it justice. They really really dont. It's huge, very very steep. Gives Diamondbacks drop a bloated look. The coaster is definitely menacing.

GREAT NEWS! I've been terrible at staying up to date with this. Lifes just crazy right now. Ill do it sunday. But!!!! Going to buy a new camera at Procam in Cincy and I'll get to see Orion for the first time tonight and I'm so hyped. Anyone going to be at the park tonight? I'm driving to Cincinnati for one night. Leaving buffalo after work at 12. Getting to Nati at 7 and then tomorrow morning turn right around. Going to be a wild few day but I'll update the "thingy" lol

Woah woah woah. take a trip to darien lake. Watch the laser light show. You wont still want that over fireworks. The firework show is Iconic at Kings Island. Iconic. I dont care how boring or routine but its a major part.

I cant believe the freedom they gave us last year.

Yea I think it's hilarious and all in good fun. But I wonder if Chad and the Cedar Fair team love the parody of there 30 million dollar coaster. Small group of people called it Onion but now the GP is made aware. I bet it doesnt stay on twitter. I think the park will ask them to take it down.

Wow shots fired. OOOOF you think they asked KI to post this?

Pretty excited to see what comes in the future with all these new track types!

And they have full throttle!!

Hope everyone had a wonderful thanksgiving, Who would have thought back in the decoding thread we would be starting the turn around the week after thanksgiving! Can we get to the helix by Christmas?

I cant wait to see the headchopper piece sitting in there, Nobody talked about. Dont know why KI isnt marketing that as an element. Cant wait to see the clearance.

My bday is March 12th. I cant remember the exact date but Banshee was so close to running the first time on my birthday, Every year I hope something has its first run on my bday. I REALLLLYYY want Orion to test March 12. First test. March 12.

Ahhhh now I see the turn, I thought it was a strait airtime hill and they just flipped the track. Can B&M do an outerbank?

I love Orion, when it was announced I didnt hate or talk bad about it. Like everyone I was a lil sad that it was exactly like the renderings so there wasnt much of a shock element. But im sooooo excited to see it in person, more excited to ride. ONE THING. I just wished they had that wave turn flipped out towards the park. So we can see the riders, kinda like furys wave turn over the bridge. They changed it from facing toward the park to facing the guest walking in when Rob Decker was talking with B&M he wanted that open front gate feel you get with GateKeeper. Anyone know why its facing that way or if there even is a reason it faces that way?

Yea Mystic without a doubt will still continue to have hour long lines next season. 7-12 year olds Love mystic and its small enough and not so intense that the whole fam can ride. The whole fam is not going to ride Orion in alot of cases. There were days when Fury opened it was a walk on. I would put my personal money on there will be days when mystics line is longer then orion.

Are we gonna run into a lawsuit with patents ever? That intamin single rail and single row trains just makes me think we could see this at somepoint. Or do i have the wrong idea on what patents are? Can someone inform me?

Kings Island DOESNT WANT US TO SEE THIS. WTF WHY DONT THEY HAVE A WINDSHEILD WIPER BUTTON

Does anyone have a photo of what was removed while it was there. I see nothing

You'd have to put a wide wheel base or fix the weight cause them boys will flip
