I actually prefer this to an LED strip. It illuminates the track and the the supports almost like a runway of sorts and reminds me of traditional lift hill lights.

I think people will be very happy with the final light package!

 

If it shines 100,000 lumens at the bedroom windows of the noise complainers I certainly will be ecstatic.  

This is a interesting comment I saw on Reddit of that picture
If that’s anyone on here please say so lol.

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

Im not disagreeing with you but If this is true about Orion Not having the LED Strip, I wonder what this was:

Then, in my opinion, they should be trailing lights.

Yes, that's me...and I stand by my statement.

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. 

I think these are maintenance lights of sorts. Fury has similar lights running along the handrails along with the LED light strip. This is probably just a test and the rest of the light kit will be installed in the coming weeks.  

Now that I look at it, its a possibility these could be the only lights on Orion, but still, Im probably wrong. Heres Leviathans :

Watch out for meteor showers!

Assuming that these are not the official lighting package lights (Maybe maintenance lights since you would need them to light things up safely) I think it would be really cool if there are LEDs running the lift like Fury, but instead of being a solid line the light up animated from top to bottom to create a meteor shower effect

Hey there. Lights on the hill again and also a bird stopped by and was checking out the park. 

Do semis usually drive down I-Street?

Not before the I-street widening, I imagine :p

 They do now......i guess haha

Do semis usually drive down I-Street?

When I worked there, before the expansion, they would use a back road. Only flat beds was usually on the pathways, or the pressure washing truck

Random but does anyone think the conronavirus outbreak will affect attendance come April?  I’m not personally worried about the virus at all but we all know it’s been all over the news.  I’ll be there regardless April 18th with my fast pass!

Please keep Virus talk in the thread @SonofBaconator linked here.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I remember shortly after the lift hill was finished I saw a blue LED strip on the hill. To my knowledge, they haven't used it since last year.

I just need to ride this darn roller coaster already, I think about it everyday. I cant keep looking at pictures for another month.

I’ve driven a box truck down I-Street before. If it fits they will drive it.

Was it running along side of the lift hill catwalk?

Are you talking about this:

In the latest pictures Waltny posted to Instagram, it looks like there might be an LED strip running along the left side of the lift. It didn’t appear to be part of the catwalk, but I might just be getting my hopes up!

No, it was not on the catwalk. It was on the other side facing the rest of the park.

And I am not talking about those lights either. This was a blue LED strip, not spotlights on the supports.

If we did get an LED strip and it is like Fury325, then it will be ON the catwalk, facing the park.
We've seen pictures with lights on the lift that resemble the standard catwalk lighting as seen on Diamondback, however. [for Orion]
 

325 does appear to also have the more standard lighting for evening evacuations/ maintenance but.. I'm not certain.

I hope we get landing strip style lighting, but high tech futuristic...

Like, a blue/purple line that moves up the hill instead of lights blinking up it?

I'm hoping we get the steel vengeance metal detector, loose article treatment to go along with the militarized, high-security theming!
