I was referring to the LED strip along the catwalk railing on the lift hill. 4
Blue_Onion_Rings Posted March 11, 2020 Posted March 11, 2020 I think these are maintenance lights of sorts. Fury has similar lights running along the handrails along with the LED light strip. This is probably just a test and the rest of the light kit will be installed in the coming weeks. 2
collin.klopfstein Posted March 11, 2020 Posted March 11, 2020 Now that I look at it, its a possibility these could be the only lights on Orion, but still, Im probably wrong. Heres Leviathans : 6
SpectralBeacon Posted March 11, 2020 Posted March 11, 2020 Assuming that these are not the official lighting package lights (Maybe maintenance lights since you would need them to light things up safely) I think it would be really cool if there are LEDs running the lift like Fury, but instead of being a solid line the light up animated from top to bottom to create a meteor shower effect 2
Maverick44 Posted March 11, 2020 Posted March 11, 2020 Hey there. Lights on the hill again and also a bird stopped by and was checking out the park. 6
calakapepe Posted March 11, 2020 Posted March 11, 2020 Not before the I-street widening, I imagine :p 3

thatguyfromohio Posted March 11, 2020 Posted March 11, 2020 Do semis usually drive down I-Street? When I worked there, before the expansion, they would use a back road. Only flat beds was usually on the pathways, or the pressure washing truckSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3
FirefighterENG44 Posted March 11, 2020 Posted March 11, 2020 Random but does anyone think the conronavirus outbreak will affect attendance come April? I’m not personally worried about the virus at all but we all know it’s been all over the news. I’ll be there regardless April 18th with my fast pass! 2

Klabergian Empire Posted March 12, 2020 Posted March 12, 2020 Correct me if I am wrong, but I remember shortly after the lift hill was finished I saw a blue LED strip on the hill. To my knowledge, they haven't used it since last year. 1
BeastieFanatic Posted March 12, 2020 Posted March 12, 2020 I just need to ride this darn roller coaster already, I think about it everyday. I cant keep looking at pictures for another month. 1 2
Oldschool75 Posted March 12, 2020 Posted March 12, 2020 Do semis usually drive down I-Street? I’ve driven a box truck down I-Street before. If it fits they will drive it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3

STLcoasters33 Posted March 12, 2020 Posted March 12, 2020 In the latest pictures Waltny posted to Instagram, it looks like there might be an LED strip running along the left side of the lift. It didn’t appear to be part of the catwalk, but I might just be getting my hopes up! 2

It was on the other side facing the rest of the park. 38 minutes ago, Hawaiian Coasters 325 said: Are you talking about this: And I am not talking about those lights either. This was a blue LED strip, not spotlights on the supports. 1
calakapepe Posted March 12, 2020 Posted March 12, 2020 If we did get an LED strip and it is like Fury325, then it will be ON the catwalk, facing the park. We've seen pictures with lights on the lift that resemble the standard catwalk lighting as seen on Diamondback, however. [for Orion] 325 does appear to also have the more standard lighting for evening evacuations/ maintenance but.. I'm not certain. 3
Nutterie Posted March 13, 2020 Posted March 13, 2020 I hope we get landing strip style lighting, but high tech futuristic... Like, a blue/purple line that moves up the hill instead of lights blinking up it? 2
calakapepe Posted March 13, 2020 Posted March 13, 2020 I'm hoping we get the steel vengeance metal detector, loose article treatment to go along with the militarized, high-security theming! 4 1
