MDMC01 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Shouldn't the belt be set to Wumbo, @King Ding Dong? Other than that, I got nothin'. Also, that turnaround is gonna be crazy! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver2005 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 That shaping on Orion's turn around kind of reminds me of one of Thunderbird's turn arounds (which have a great combination of laterals and airtime), just on steroids. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s going to have a very interesting feel to it.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohiocoasterfan Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Man they have made a lot of progress this weekend. I count six large supports up. Only one more large one based on the rendering. We should see a lot of track go up this week! 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of unanswered questions about the whole Orion project that add to the suspense. Is there going to be a bin system? What is the Orion entrance going to look like? How is Orion’s theming going to look? How is Flight of Fear going to change aesthetically? How is Area 72 going to be themed? What are they building next to the C.H.A.O.S building? Will it look anything like this? 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSourNinja Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Hear me out... I could see a lot of GP who have never been here before mistaking the entrance to FOF as the Orion entrance if it looks anything like it does in the teaser. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The park needs a clear Orion sign, and they actually need to have a Flight of Fear sign. Currently, there is not a single sign in the park for Flight of Fear except for the small one attached to the X-Base sign in the Coney Mall midway. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waltny Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 They did get alot done today, you can only see 4 of the supports from the usual vantage points. I may share the photo I took a little later. All I can say about the theming of Orion is this... It better have a world class plaza entrance sign like Fury, Banshee, Leviathan or Incredible Hulk. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure this is a realistic expectation, but with them kind of tying the rides together theming-wise, I could see some sort of meteor shower effect working in the queue for FoF with it being indoors and all. Nothing crazy but maybe like a warning alarm, sound effects and maybe some smoke? Could be pretty cool, but my guess is the changes are going to be primarily just on the outside. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it’s not the Weber group doing the theming this time, Cedar Fair additions have exceeded expectations recently in terms of theming. Mystic Timbers’ shed is pretty effective at creating an unsettling atmosphere, and Copperhead Strike’s barn has even more detail in real life than in the animation. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
