No necessarily. Landscaping could mean mulching, planting trees, putting grass seed down(or whatever they use to make grass grow fast), and putting gravel in some areas. Final painting could be touch up paint on the rails of the ride and other places. Theming could mean installing props, textured/fixed lighting, and sound related items. I’d imagine these responsibilities full under different teams.

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

All CF parks scheduled to open or be open in March have postponed their openings until April. That includes the Schlitterbahn parks.

Guys, this game of Plague Inc. is getting really weird

Was it running along side of the lift hill catwalk?

They could’ve been testing LED flood lights to illuminate the support structure and the bottom of the track on the lift hill. I was referring to the LED strip along the catwalk railing on the lift hill.

You are absolutely right. I’m jumping to conclusions here.

I guess that answers our question about Orion having the same LED strip that Fury 325 has on it’s lift hill.

Up close look at the large airtime hill before the helix.

Maybe it’s an even darker blue :p

Man, that roar is absolutely menacing!! I love it!!

I don’t think the focus of the video was Orion, but how KI’s coaster collection got where it is today. He produces to very underrated content!

Man, it’s such a relief to hear that roar!!!

I think night rides on Orion are going to be awesome! That turnaround into the speed hill especially. Can we just consider KI the night ride capital of the world at this point?!

Is it me, or has Kings Island been pretty hush hush about updates on this project? Maybe that’s been a trend in the industry lately, seeing as how a lot of parks aren’t super outspoken about progress on their upcoming attractions. I think the only park I’ve seen provide consistent updates this offseason is SFGAd. Maybe parks see enthusiasts providing most of the updates for them, so they don’t feel the need. What’s your opinion?

Personally, I don’t believe so. If you’ve been on the other B&M gigas, the steeper angle makes it feel like the drops just goes on forever!

Light jogging pants with 3 zip up pockets for the win!! Phone, slim wallet, and keys stay with me at all times!

I think people would try to return their Gold Passes if KI teased another shed mystery lol

Man, I hope they really amp up the aesthetics for this coaster. Textured lighting, LED lights on the lift hill and supports, maybe even that LED light strip along the lift hill catwalk like Fury 325 and Intimidator!

The park shared this photo on their Instagram page this morning. She’s beautiful!!!

I can’t lie, this view is awesome!! It makes Orion look so much bigger!!

Confirmed: Don has an endorsement deal with Nikon.
