That's probably just the theming, I wouldn't put too much stock in that.

Ik. I told him that there are news vans in there as theming. 

Some off-ride footage from Kings Island.

I thought they had to be done within 24 hours of visiting the park? If so you will have to retake it seeing as how there is still 31+ hours till park open at the time of me typing this?

I had it pop up yesterday and filled it out. It was stored under the "me" tab and could edit answers. It's prompting me to fill it out again this morning, so I assume it resets daily.

Question to those that have already ridden Orion - are the restraints exactly like Diamondback? Meaning, it takes the same amount of "clicks" to ride?

No one's ridden Orion yet.

There are many people on this forum who have.

Some employees have....

That light package is amazing. I thought Banshee's was top notch, but this takes the cake! Props to Kings Island!

I’ve not ridden Orion but I’m 99.9% sure it’s the exact same restraints.

If we learned from Banshee, then we know we probably have about 1 year worth of all of this lighting working before it starts to go bad. Note that now next to none of Banshee's lighting works now.

Well, there still is a chance. Fury's lights have lasted for five years, and Millennium Force's lights have lasted for a while too.

I am fairly certain that the lights on Banshee in the queue and the uplights in the station were still working last season.
