Or they may be adding more supports we just can't see due to all the supports from the helix.
Born_in_'72 Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 We have the next section of track in the air (barely).....
Beast Night Rider Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 Another piece of track is going up right now on the helix!! 3
LovinMeSomeBanshee Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 Not a lot of clearance between the boom and the installed track now. They are cutting it close! 1
Kodistict Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 There is also another post head chopper support put in! 1
Maverick44 Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 I think that leaves us with 1 more support and thats all! 4

Gplez90 Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 Looks like another track piece is being installed into the helix! Side note, Kings Island had opened up donations for the First Rider Auction. Here’s the link: https://www.visitkingsisland.com/play/events/orion-first-riders-auction 4
presto123 Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 Coaster looking great! So did KI decide to go with intensity, ride experience, and rider capacity over all out record breaking stats and track length? This could end up being a better ride than many of the stats coasters? 3
collin.klopfstein Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 Is Orion getting a light package installed??!!! 4
collin.klopfstein Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 (edited) Doublepost* I think Orion is getting a lighting package... and the inside of the station and transfer track have lights on Edited January 24, 2020 by collin.klopfstein Forgot a picture 11
Gplez90 Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 There always seems to be a raindrop on the camera that directly covers the area they are working on lol 3 2
IndyGuy4KI Posted January 24, 2020 Author Posted January 24, 2020 I moved the Orion Auction posts that were here to the Auction thread: https://kicentral.com/forums/index.php?/topic/35915-orion-first-riders-auction/&do=findComment&comment=851916 3
LovinMeSomeBanshee Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 It doesn't look like there's going to be much track work happening today. I see a V-shaped support laying on the ground, in addition to the one that will go just before the start of the brake run. So two more supports to install. 1

Maverick44 Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 They won't put any track in place with this weather. Doesn't look like any crew is on site. Early weekend for them! 2

Klabergian Empire Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 Im betting on track work being done next week. 1

Born_in_'72 Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 There are two supports still not up. There is the single support going in to the break run, but there is also the support that is assembled, but still laying on the ground, under the first drop. 3
Maverick44 Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 I think the support that you circled does go in the head chopper portion? 1

LovinMeSomeBanshee Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 These are the two supports still remaining to be installed: 2
