PKI Jizzman Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 I'll be visiting on July 3rd at noon since I have the day off. I wanted to avoid the weekend and I'm hoping it's a decent weather day! Excited to go to the park not during Winterfest lol. If Orion is longer than 90 minutes I'll just come back another time, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfBobs Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 So the whole only once during passholder preview seems a bit ridiculous. I was trying to come up for a weekend (long weekend plus 2 days) spend two days at KI, two days at CP on the preview days 9,10 then 11,12 and do some other stuff, Â Yeah. Uh. Sorry about your luck, but we all had other plans this year.... Â At this point complaining how your summer plans aren't gonna work out is old and tired. We are all in the same boat and need to make the best of it for this year and maybe 2021. You're not the only person being limited to one reservation at a time and I for one am happy they are putting a limit on it. Â Be thankful that these parks are opening at all at this point.

RCjunkie Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 I'll be visiting on July 3rd at noon since I have the day off. Â Good to hear! If you have the time after your visit if you could come post your thoughts on how your trip went with the new restrictions and precautions. And of course a review if you get on Orion.

Yeah, that’s airtime. Orion specializes in speed and intensity. They may both be related as they come from the same manufacturer, but in reality are two of their own kinds."  Intensity huh?

prozach626 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 At this point complaining how your summer plans aren't gonna work out is old and tired. Â Just like us complaining about other people complaining, eh? Like when people complained about the complainers complaining about Orion. We should all let the complainers complain instead of constantly complaining about their complaints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midgetman82 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Â I got a slot for July 5th. Originally I was gonna go July 3rd, but saw how full those reservations got eaten-up and decided to email and see if they could help me change it to avoid the potentially bigger crowd. Two days later (expected, I'm sure they got flooded with mistaken reservations), got a very friendly phone call to assist, and within a minute they cancelled my spot so I could move! Â I'm soooo stoked to get on Orion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taeshan Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 My earlier complaints were more that it seems like there is a lot of open spots, especially on a thursday and friday early on in this, so if it is a there system can't handle it ok...but it seems like other people have done a good job of setting up reservations system. We will see, but I'm excited to go, and we'll just use our Aquarium or Kentucky Kingdom tickets that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dar Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 POV!    Posted on the blog: http://​www.visitkingsisland.com/blog/2020/june/official-orion-pov-video-released (For some reason the link won't link )    Looks fun, seems to carry some nice speed throughout. The final brakes still look ridiculous though! I certainly wouldn't be upset if this opened somewhere over here, even if it isn't a giga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilyf Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 epic? giga coasters should exist for air time. this is as much a waste as beheemot and millenium force Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillseeker4552 Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Looks awesome. The big wave turn and speed hill appear to be some of the highlight moments IMO. The color scheme is also eye candy. Â One day I'll get back to Kings Island and ride this... or any coaster... at any park... eventually! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midgetman82 Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Easily best drop at Kings Island, and that constant speed's gonna be great, along with flying around those big elements. Can't wait to try it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tndank Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Starting Monday you can make a second reservation. This includes passholder week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
