LovinMeSomeBanshee Posted June 12, 2020 Posted June 12, 2020 Soooo...any new photos of the ride? Anything? It's almost like this new record-breaking coaster at Kings Island doesn't exist. 2

I heard it used to have hard over the shoulder restraints. I think those would've hurt on those transitions. The ride was almost unrideable before switching to the lapbars, which are also extremely uncomfortable.

FUN&ONLY! Posted June 12, 2020 Posted June 12, 2020 https://mobile.twitter.com/chadshowalter/status/1271494979001692162 Here is a teaser from Chad Showalter. What this is is anybody’s guess. Personally, I think it looks like an introductory clip to a promo video! 2

It's reminding me of the doomsday movies that show earth in the background with an asteroid coming at it. Rush to launch the volunteers before it's too late, countdown to impact clocks, trajectory of impacts. There's sooo much they could do with it, excited to see. Guess if they want to really get into theming, astronauts can't launch with any symptoms of being sick, soooo they're screening us all.

Just and idea but with all the zoom, webex meetings, etc. It would be nice not just to have a POV but also a reverse POV so I can have my grand kids believing I'm on the ride when we have our weekly online meeting 1 2

They need to change it from an asteroid to a COVID-19 molecule. Now that's terrifying :):) 2 2

Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted June 13, 2020 Posted June 13, 2020 In the email I got earlier this week said that additional information on the first rider auction will be released later this week. It is now later this week and I haven't gotten anything yet. Has anyone here gotten anything on it yet? 1

Is it your new favorite Giga?
FUN&ONLY! Posted June 13, 2020 Posted June 13, 2020 https://mobile.twitter.com/KingsIslandPR/status/1271797517009784833 This is cool! I like how they are making Area 72 its own area of the park to distinguish it from Coney Mall. Now Area 72 has a restaurant, games, and two rollercoasters (one of them being the largest ride in the park). I wonder if this game is before you go under Racer or after you go under Racer if it is located near the Area 72 entrance. I also wonder if Orion will have its own merchandise stand like Mystic Timbers has outside the exit. Also, I can’t say the park isn’t providing any updates or teasers anymore. They are doing a great job! They have been sharing new angles of Orion and in the past few days, they shared two updates for the 2020 season that nobody knew (this new game and the new Dodgem sign). While these are small updates, they go a long way, and I can’t wait to see what else is new for 2020. 3

I assume it is the closet game to The Racer under the huge games building. 1
