I mean being a large company, I figured they’d use the hydro spray grass. Boom grass

amazing how close the two are, I can only imagine how difficult it was to build roller coasters before simulation software

Too bad the trees are many there.

I think they've done this in the past with Diamondback and Mystic Timbers, so I wouldn't be surprised to see it with Orion too.

I have no problem with park authorized drone flights. I only have an issue with unauthorized rule-breaking pilots.

drones is also a term for talking for a really long time about something(even if you are over hearing about it) 

Shut up about the drones guys, don’t let him start a whole new conversation about this... enjoy the POV when it comes...

BTW this is the longest wait time for Orion so far!!! (Since the original opening was scheduled)

"Grandpa, what was the longest time you ever waited for a roller coaster?"  "Well, Paul, let me tell you about 2020...."

What would you rank it among the gigas? (that you have been on)

Well I've only ridden Millenium, and it's been a while, so I'm not sure which one I'd rank higher. Maybe Millenium because the view is better. I also only got a front row ride on Orion, and I heard the back was more intense (like it always is) but the front gives you a great view of the drop. KI nailed it though, and you should ride it this season!

It’s growing in. You can see some right beneath the helix.

I doubt that is grass.  That is the ravine, so it likely is moist, so weeds will grow in there pretty quickly.  It would be rather pointless to hydroseed at this point in the growing season, they might wait until fall.

That looks like Daimonbdack but bigger my favorite part was going down that big hill and the have way thru when it alomst stops and you like fall.  Then I like standing on the ground and listen to Daimonbdack strike!!!!!  But I think Orion will be kewl too

I guess @CoastersRZ was right. Maybe the pov will be here tomorrow?

Great.  So now I'm just going to be refreshing the blog for the next 72hrs.

Sorry for the poor quality, but the light strip is on. Looks great!

Wow that is bright, it’s reflecting off Diamondback!

Actually, it’s the glare from my window. Still looks awesome, though! They’re testing and adjusting the lighting of the supports, too.

It is such a shame it will be hard to see this year. I hope we get plenty of pictures of it from July 4th!

You know it's bright when it reflects off of the biggest tallest fastest longest steel coaster to ever strike Kings Island!

The lights on the lift supports flicker/pulse between white and blue.

That is really cool! I wonder when they will turn on the lights shining up the supports.
