Waltny Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 3 hours ago, TheFloppyDisc said: True, the view from the MT cam looks pretty clear at this point and the hill they are working on currently is just a little bit taller than Mystic's lift hill. Mystic’s lift hill is 109Ft and this hill is supposed to be 147ft. For closer comparisons in the park, it is 2 feet shorter than Vortex and 12 feet less than Banshee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndyGuy4KI Posted January 15, 2020 Author Share Posted January 15, 2020 Guys, the park has not released opening day yet. If you have to go googling to find a hidden page on the website it's probably not made public yet. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifetimecoaster Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Seeing the scope of the actual real ride, it is going to carry a lot of speed through the whole ride. Some of these "small" hills are still huge!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do expect a full ride on Orion will end up taking about 3 minutes: -About 1 minute just to climb the lift hill: Orion DOES just have a chain lift and not a super fast cable lift like Millennium Force does. You will actually have some time to think "Oh crud this is actually really tall" during the ascent. -1 minute of actual ride section -1 minute of brake run until you return to the station Granted this was likely by design, as it also gives the ride crews about 60 seconds per cycle to dispatch trains without too much stacking. With the fact Orion is likely not gonna have loose articles (will probably use lockers) this thing is gonna have awesome capacity (probably similar to Banshee's), which it will probably need on opening weekend as well as on busier days like July Saturdays and Haunt. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m pretty sure at an ACE conference at Canada’s wonderland about 7 months ago, one of the speakers talked about expanding the bins that they have on Yukon striker to other parks and Kings Island was mentioned to maybe using this system 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
