Wow. It’s huge.

Kings Island is such a beautiful park, and this only adds to it, hopefully one day Vortex spot will be filled and junk lot coaster will be gone and the park will be PERFECT

I think I'm the only person on this forum to have ridden it before today. Besides the higher ups who don't talk much. Restraints are the same clamshell type found on Diamondback, taking 3 clicks at minimum to lock. If you can fit on DB, you'll fit on Orion.

Area 72 looks incredible.
Will there be an Orion souvenir cup?

Area 72 looks incredible!

Ummmm I can’t see it...

It really does looks amazing! One thing I noticed, though, is it looks like they removed that banner from Flight of Fear.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. Seriously, this is such a relief.

It’s supposed to have been hit by meteors. How else can you do that?

I dont think its necessary to paint black burn marks, the meteor speaks for itself

I like it, but people have different opinions.

I am probably looking at this too closely, but why is there not a second one of these themed posts? It looks like one is meant to be there.

Also, the IMAscore soundtrack plays throughout the entire area!

 The pics make me feel like the overall theme is very well implemented. I like it a lot!!

Kings Island knocked it out of the park with the theming! The whole area is just very well presented!

If wonder if that video in the Quonset hut will mention anything about the events that took place in Flight of Fears video.

Found a tease to Magnum XL - 200 lol

I want to watch the entire video so bad! Also, I wonder if this video will be playing on the rest of the TV’s in the queue like or if those will be FunTV’s.

A couple things that stick out to me...

1. I'm very surprised every row of the queue is available. I thought they would only allow every other row for social distancing purposes. You may be 6 feet away from the person in front of you, but only a couple feet from the person on the rail next to you.

2. Hard to tell from the video but it looks like they're allowing riders in each row. I'm also surprised by this; is each row 6 feet apart? I've read that's the case with wing coasters.
