I'm hoping we get the steel vengeance metal detector, loose article treatment to go along with the militarized, high-security theming!

Could the "prop building" be the metal detector area?

Why would they add metal detectors? Those only cause issues for Steel Vengeance and Orion is nothing like steel vengeance. No other giga coaster needs them so orion wouldn’t either.

I think it should be a full blown TSA checkpoint. Full body scanners, explosive detectors, the works!

I'm hoping the prop building features some cool LED light and sound effects similar to inside the chaos building.

One can hope!
FastLane is like TSA Precheck, paying no mind to us peasants taking our shoes off.

This drone guy on YouTube is putting up tons of flyover videos of Kings Island. There are some that go over Orion, as well as near The Beast, and Diamondback, as well as the old Vortex plot of land. I won't be posting them here because of the rules on here about those.

What are the chances the drone guy is actually affiliated with the park? Like how people thought Tony Clark was leaking Steel Vengeance construction photos before it was announced? Lol

Please no. Lol

In one of the drone videos, it looks like the third train color is silver.

I know, I work at it. Haha, but trust me it isn’t even close.

I'm bowling at Eastgate Lanes and they have these really cool glow fans in the place. I know it won't happen, but it would've been really cool if they put these in the station of Orion!

It is
We got the Teal that we saw first, Blue we saw second in test pictures, and the Silver one.

Here are the official color for each of the trains.

Blue/Grey/Black

Now we need black (or dark blue)

It’s not an either/or situation. It’s clearly dark blue.

And yes I think "dark blue" have a grey restraint.

Surprised they didn’t do yellow/blue/red so it would look similar to another giga in Ohio!

A bit off Orion topic but with that guy.. and his Beast flyover.. it looks like there has been significant work done on the second half of The Beast. Both track and new supports, I'm glad to see all the new wood on the area coming out of the helix as this area was the most rough part of the entire track. 

Does each train have a different color lap bar or seat color?

I have no idea, I just went off the drone video and I couldn't see the lap bar, just the silver part

New post from F5 coasters on Facebook!

Not trying to get off topic here, but one of those videos shows off just how much work they've done on the land that once occupied Vortex. Is it just me, or does that land seem kind of small? I know once you get the engineers involved in building things, that land will be filled up like nothing ever was removed.

I think I just caught the Orion lights on.... debating on posting and trusting my eyes.
