But your argument that there would be no hype over this without it or that you're entitled to it is ridiculous. But, not surprising.

LovinMeSomeBanshee Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Cedar Fair chose to make webcams a routine addition to their marketing campaigns. Banshee, Mystic Timbers, Fury, Copperhead Strike, Valravn, etc. all had construction cams. Kings Island promised one for Orion. They provided one. Then, in the middle of construction, just before the highlight of the entire thing, they take it down without absolutely any official word on why they were doing so. Again, this is THEIR fault. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No rides at Universal or Disney have construction webcams. I don't think Hershey Park has a cam for their new coaster. It's called advertising. They're doing it and still posting pics on social media. Expand Your right but the issue is KI does have cameras. They made a point to say watch the construction unfold from the camera. Then they restrict access when the greatest part of the ride is being built. I am sorry but that is a problem. That is KI’s problem. They dropped the ball. Are they going to miss out on passes being sold I doubt it. Look at Disney and galaxy edge I saw everywhere that it was a failure because it didn’t have 8 hour waits (I think it was a success) or that they didn’t advertise enough. Now they have a plane wrapped in a galaxy edge advertisement. I am not implying they listened to the criticism but to think that a GIGA coaster is going to sell itself is very foolish. A picture a day on all social media accounts should be the minimum to keep awareness at its highest for Orion. Honestly then with the cameras on once a week. It’s crazy but even the GP enjoys seeing pictures of the coaster being built. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody has talked about season pass sales. But the giant ride their building will take care of that. Nobody (reasonable) is buying their season pass based on a webcam. Expand I have talked about season passes. Also have friends who live up on the lake who decided to buy platinum this year based off the webcam and how cool Orion looked. Showed them the POV and it was cool, showed them the webcam and it was "wow, that is way bigger then it looks" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
