Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Tbh I wish it had the light up wheels. But I'm sure they can change it since they did it with Tatsu.

Imperial79 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 The support is now finished it seems. Hopefully tomorrow they will add another piece of track to the 2nd hill. Since KI opens at 5 on Friday, I would go back to Orion first thing if anyone wants to take a look at it, we won't have long to see it, since the sun is going down fast. Btw Coney Mall looks great! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin22 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 If I recall correctly after the first drop on the blueprints there was something that was labeled HotShot which is a company that is involved in photography. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishleehooker Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Looking at the coaster as it stands, that 2nd sideways hill taken at the speeds it will be going, and as high as it is, taller than every coaster besides Diamondback, should provide major hangtime as the second half of the hill steepens at its drop....it should feel awesome and just as you are thinking how awesome that felt, we will be hitting that huge third hill turnaround for a thrilling return home with some headchopping moments as well at least one more awesome hill....I think this is the punk rock Giga. Short and sweet, it's gonna be hard to beat those first three elements....so get me back as fun as possible so I can ride it again and again! Short and sweet. Leave them wanting more in show business. We have The Beast and Banshee for other long over the top experiences. Mystic Timbers and Orion will be the shorter-killer rides that get better and better each time. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I still cant believe that three hills on Orion manage to be taller than all of Kings Islands coasters (excluding Diamondback).

CoasterNerd Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 I was looking at the render pics of Orion. This coaster that's circled doesn't look like Vortex, looks like a wooden coaster. Thoughts? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoF96" Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 ^ it is Vortex that’s the second drop right there going up to the point where it curves around to go into the double loops. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
