For some reason, they posted it over in the other thread. Can these two threads just be merged already? People keep on posting thoughts on the ride in the construction thread and construction photos on the thoughts thread. It’s so much more streamlined if it’s just one thread. Nobody is respecting that there are two separate threads anyway. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDMC01 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Thanks for the close ups @collin.klopfstein; you're the real MVP! I went up on the (Effial) Tower today and was so excited to see track (and yes I got a picture, but Collin and others did a much better job). Also, yes the park was pretty busy today. The first hour was alright and then it got packed! I plan on posting my thoughts in the general KI thread. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really there should be one general thread for all of the Orion construction, updates, and discussion. Trying to sift through so many threads is quite difficult. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the idea is that specific threads (in theory) would be easier to navigate than one all inclusive thread. Judging by how numerous people kept complaining about the cluttered nature of Decoding thread, I can't imagine it would be any different for a unified Orion thread. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s less people on the site now that the ride has been announced so I assume it wouldn’t be as much of a mess as the Decoding thread was. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
