I think they might just be testing the range of the boom to make sure they can safely reach where the next piece goes.

Or they may be adding more supports we just can't see due to all the supports from the helix.

We have the next section of track in the air (barely).....

Another piece of track is going up right now on the helix!!

Not a lot of clearance between the boom and the installed track now.  They are cutting it close!

There is also another post head chopper support put in!

I think that leaves us with 1 more support and thats all!

Yep, just 1 more according to the blueprints.

Just this one and the supports are finished!

Looks like another track piece is being installed into the helix! Side note, Kings Island had opened up donations for the First Rider Auction. Here’s the link: https://www.visitkingsisland.com/play/events/orion-first-riders-auction

Coaster looking great! So did KI decide to go with intensity, ride experience, and rider capacity over all out record breaking stats and track length? This could end up being a better ride than many of the stats coasters?

Is Orion getting a light package installed??!!!

Doublepost* I think Orion is getting a lighting package...  and the inside of the station and transfer track have lights on

Forgot a picture

There always seems to be a raindrop on the camera that directly covers the area they are working on lol

I moved the Orion Auction posts that were here to the Auction thread: https://kicentral.com/forums/index.php?/topic/35915-orion-first-riders-auction/&do=findComment&comment=851916

 

It doesn't look like there's going to be much track work happening today. 

I see a V-shaped support laying on the ground, in addition to the one that will go just before the start of the brake run.  So two more supports to install.

They won't put any track in place with this weather. Doesn't look like any crew is on site. Early weekend for them!

You're not the only one. They already have the supports for the rest of the track put up I'm pretty sure.

I believe that can be confirmed. All but one if I am looking at the cams correctly.

Sadly, I can't look at the cams. I'm on a school computer

Yes all but one support is up.

There are two supports still not up.  There is the single support going in to the break run, but there is also the support that is assembled, but still laying on the ground, under the first drop.

 

I think the support that you circled does go in the head chopper portion?

I think it goes just after crossing under the drop.

These are the two supports still remaining to be installed:
