So where does Orion rank as far as just North America? I'm talking tallest in North America too.
-
Would this coaster be the first gravity group roller coaster in the Cedar Fair chain?

The last time I went to Disney World(2012), I spent a lot of time in the Hollywood studios area. I'm sure a lot has changed since I went there last. One thing I hope doesn't leave is the Rock-n-rollercoaster featuring Aerosmith. Does anyone know how much longer the licensing on that will run till? If they change it, I wonder what they would theme it too? I would theme it to another band since they have the guitar set up on the building. Maybe they could honor queen for example.

1) An indicator that KI prob will not open this year is that Mr. DeWine was asked about sporting events for this year. Mr. DeWine said that he did not see any large gathering being allowed till next year maybe late next year.. I think he said that yesterday or Friday. When he made this comment he said sports, concerts and large gatherings. I think an amusement park falls under large gatherings.
Great! No fun for us this year. Thanks a lot Mike Dewine!(Sarcasm)

So with everyone assuming the park won't open this year, does that mean my opinion doesn't matter? I don't want to sound like an idiot for thinking the park will open sometime this year, but everyone on here says it won't open.

^ No you're not being nostalgic. I feel the same way about re-creating a modern version of Vortex as a B&M Floorless. How would you feel about the new vest restraints If they did re-create the layout as a Floorless? I would be all for it. Yeah Kings Island already has two launched roller coasters in the park. They could never put another launch roller coaster in there in the next 10 years, and people would still be happy with Kings Island line-up. I'm sure Kings Island will get a Dive, but yeah I agree about putting it where Vortex was. It would just seem out of place there.

#1. I'm looking forward to riding The Beast! 2. Riding Orion and seeing how much of a punch it packs. From the video, it looks like it has a lot of speed and airtime. 3. Seeing how the park looks without Vortex in the skyline. That will be a huge change of scenery for me. No pun intended there.

The Ohio governor will be releasing a plan of restarting next week. What that entails I am not sure but he was very hopeful in his conference.
Restarting what?

I don't think Cedar Fair is in a position where they'd want to install an El Toro type ride at their parks.
That looks sick! And I mean that as in wicked fun! Cedar Fair could always try something like an Intamin pre-fabricated ride at Michigan's Adventure and see how well it does there. I've heard Wolverine there isn't that good. Maybe they could replace it with an Intamin pre-fabricated woody. Just a thought.

^ Yeah they forgot to throw in there. Gee, what can we shut down today? They seem to enjoy shutting things down.
-

So Is there still a chance employees could start being trained in mid-May and open in June?
-
COVID-19 can shut everything down, but not spring!

I hope they replant trees in new areas.

Well guys, Cedar Point just sent out this notice to associates. Pretty much destroys any hope of a mid May opening.

I guess we're not supposed to have fun this year.

So when do we get the Orion cam back? Surely they’re done with testing by now.

I wonder If Kings Island and Cedar Point will just wait until mid May like they were originally to see if anything changes before they decide to make a move similar to Knotts berry farm.

^ Well that is a wild ride, but yeah since they just spent probably $30 million on Orion, I doubt they'll spend that much on something like that. But that ride packs a lot of punch! I love how much intensity it packs throughout the ride. Reminds me of Maverick. I also love how you picked Green!

^ I know right. They seem to be good at shutting everything down. Different topic though. The last time I dreamed about the blimp, it flew over Cedar Point.
-
@SonofBaconator you're cool. My ideal roller coaster to take the spot of Vortex would be a Floorless. I don't know if you read my comment on another topic or not, but I mentioned how cool it would be to have a floorless similar to Dominator at Kings Dominion. It's in the topic, could KI get a Floorless topic.
-
^ I feel like Cedar Fair is trying to get rid of their stand up coasters. The only one they haven't terminated yet is Vortex at Carowinds. Just my opinion though. If they ever wanted to bring a classic roller coaster to Kings Island, I would say rebuild the classic Big Dipper(GCI style). Not sure where they would put it, but that's the only ride I can think of right now.

What KI Rides Have You Never Been On?
in Kings Island
Posted
Since I'm 35 years of age now, does the Planet Snoopy area count? It was Hanna-Barbara land back when I was 5 years old. I don't remember the rides too much, but my parents probably have vintage photos of me riding those rides.
