    Here are my pics from yesterday. Didnt take any professional camera up. Just with my S9+. Plus, was a little bumpy. Watermarked because some people. And these definitely are "exclusive".

I was at Roller Coasters 'Eh, an ACE event, yesterday at Canada's Wonderland.  There was a Q&A portion with two of the main people from maintenance one of whom was Peter Switzer, who is the Director of Maintenance and Construction at Wonderland.

Someone asked the question if there were plans to rollout the storage bin system throughout the chain.  Mr. Switzer said that he had been in contact with his counterpart at Kings Island (Jeff Gramke was not named but that would be his comparable at KI) and had been discussing it for their ride next year.  So it wasn't definitively confirmed but there is certainly a chance that we could be getting that system used on Yukon Striker.

It would be nice if Kings Island could let people down in the trench and do that with Orion.

My main question is how will people get to field of screams this season during construction? 

The only way I see people getting to field of screams is going through the construction site, which would be amazing!

It’s gonna be sad though not getting that creepy felling walking through the dark woods to get there

I'm not sure if anyone has thought of this before, but what if the trench formed a little creek? I would love that.

Actually, it looks like a creek is already forming.

I think was a little skinny stream of water flowing through there at one point.

And where is field of screams suppose to be?

As others have said, that is Field of Screams. The "farmhouse" facade is just out of the image to the left.

Well that answered both questions..lol  Thanks.  I thought that might have been it but wasnt sure since a stream was mentioned earlier and was locations further down

The "stream" is on the top right of this picture (just to the right of the last E in my watermark). The drop is on the bottom, Racer is on the right, and Field of Screams is up top.

So was the stream a part of Dinosaurs Alive?

I believe it was because Kings Island put in a drainage system that that stream is there.

I would have to go through some of my offseason pics, but I believe it was already there, just much smaller.

Would a solid day of raining/flash flood put that footer right next to the stream under water?  Could that be a problem with concrete footers?

The real question here: will Orion have to close for fireworks like Beast does, or will the fireworks location change? Orion's even closer to the launch spot than Beast.

This is gonna sound really stupid of me but The Beast is wood and Orion is metal and wood catches on fire easier
