Something I always wished they did to Orion..…


Recommended Posts

…give it different coat of paint under the track. 

This was just a concept that @DustinTheNow made a while back that illustrates what I mean:

I really like how Fury had the lime green and Valravn had that silver- it felt like a true next step in how coasters were supposed to be painted, but we unfortunately didn’t get that with Orion.

Maybe when it’s due for a repaint in 10+ years

It'd be nice to see this with the blue track and white/gray supports! I'd love for Kings Island to get a tri-tone paint scheme on one of their coasters, but I don't have faith that Six Flags would see it as a good expense. KI has a "high market penetration" so I can't see the company wanting to put much fun extra investment like that into the park.

Nope. Unfortunately, Kings Island isn't Six Flags Over Texas

I wonder if there could be a universe where Orion would've been able to do some inversions. Maybe it could've even been the world's first giga with inversions (although I haven't looked to see if that didn't already exist).

Of course it would need different trains and some modifications to its layout, but I think it could've worked. Imagine if that wave turn actually did a full 360, or if there were a corkscrew somewhere. It would've helped to fit more into the flight test storyline as well.

Oh, and give it that red stripe on the bottom of the track!
