Rode this yesterday for the first time. One word! Wow! Pov gives no justice on how this rides. Hats off to Kings Island! This is my new favorite coaster!
I personally think it’s overhyped it’s basically just a bigger version of raging bull. Barely any airtime, and the most of the ride is just turns. It’s barely even a giga.
It looks like the most simplistic ride they’ve ever had at Kings Island - but it’s misleading, I’m sure because it’s the scale and speed that makes it exhilarating to ride.
@@Moistme69 I have last summer yes. It’s a good ride but it doesn’t hold up to the other hypers the layout is just boring and lackluster I feel like they just rushed it
@@kaydnburns5935 be grateful that KI is getting this very expensive addition! There are multiple parks that would love to have something like this! Man, people are entitled so much!
@@bigblueamusementproductions I dont think its entitlement. I think its valid criticism. The park already has a hyper, and has removed a legendary woodie and a legendary arrow looper and replaced it with a extremely overpriced mediocre giga. Do you have any idea what kind of absolutely insane RMC they could have installed for that price tag? Iron gwazi cost $10,000,000. They could have even added a son of beast rebirth concept from GCI for that price tag of orion. Orion is a slap in the face to everyone.
@@kaydnburns5935 solid critiques and good points. Just trying to keep it positive. And to your question about crack.....Its coaster hype not crack, everyone knows you rail it. Get it.
Idk if that's you or not on your pfp but I'll be going there to be funny if we both were in the same coaster (most likely this one) at the same time without realizing it 😂😂
ElToroRyan's video explains this: it's to both make the braking more gradual, and also functions as a "rolling block brake", allowing for three train operation.
Definitely looks like a great and fun ride especially the first two elements. I think there was expectation that this ride was gonna be taller and bigger given the original hype. Don’t know how much space was available but I think the ride layout could have been longer for sure.
Looks fun and smooth but it’s a rlly short ride (I’m not talking bout the height I’m saying it’s over rlly quickly) Edit: oh nvm I just found out that it is 1 second longer than leviathan lol
Yeah you want a long coaster go ride the beast it used to hold the record for longest wooden coaster in the world (it's at King's island btw just incase you never been there)
It is actually average length for a b&m giga. If you compare it to fury 325 and leviathan then they’re actually pretty similar I’m length. Its actually like a couple seconds longer than leviathan
My favorite thing about FastPass is the sheer look of hatred on all the regular people's faces as you're walking directly past them. That look alone is worth every f****** penny
There's no need for that trim brake at 01:13. The trim is in a really bad spot. That would've been been an amazing air time hill with tons of speed. With the trim it barely makes it over the hill. It's almost like they intentionally handicapped it so it doesn't show up their darling cedar point in any way.
I’m in the 10:30 group (the first one on the first day) and the ride is at the back of the park. I am I mid class high school distance runner and a high tier sprinter..... so put 2 and 2 together and I’m going to be one of the first people on Orion. yAy
Looks awesome, if you have fun that’s all that should matter.. but as a gold pass holder for the last 15 years... looking st the scenery it reminds me still of firehawk
went on this yesterday for the first time, going up is probably the scariest part but you get to the top in like 10 seconds and as soon as you go down, its a blast
I live in louisville, we've spent a lot of time in Kentucky kingdom and Holiday world, I thought I was pretty well acquainted with coasters. I was wrong. Last weekend we went to KI for the first time and they had some of the craziest coasterz I had ever rode in. Hats off to kings island, I cant wait to go back
@@kevinmichels904 It's a longer drive for you but SO worth it! The biggest difference is that CP has more coasters and they have hotels to stay in on site, but they have less shady areas to rest in and the water park is not free like it is at KI. The Top Thrill Dragster and the Gatekeeper are SO fun! The Maverick is great, LOTS of air time. Make plans to go to CP, you won't regret it.
I’m calling best new KI coaster. Both the B&M gigas I’ve been on are in my top 10, and Mystic Timbers is 10th (my current favorite). Just wish I could get ON it
Unrequited it’s so they can run 3 trains easier and it means they can dispatch the trains more frequently and the building wasn’t there before. It has been built with the coaster
The brakes are magnetic and the slope provides a way for the trains a simply way to continue to advance forward through the magnets without needing feed motors
Still wont make up for the loss of Vortex sadly. It sucks losing that arrow gem. And i was on the second to last train it ever dispatched pubically. With tears in my eyes.
I know this is for firehawks replacement. It just breaks my heart to see my favorite ride of all time get the axe. Ill never forget my last ride on Vortex. It was incredible and tear inducing. RIP to the beautiful arrow gem. RIP Vortex.
Are they finally doing the 450ft chain lift B&M (Giga?) that is built over/around/through all sorts of paths and other rides as it circumnavigates Cedar Point? 8 block sections. 6 train ops. 12 cars per train so they haul ass like crazy. Get over 150mph from gravity drop.
The ride is designed to operate within certain parameters and speed is one of those. After a certain point in the layout when you want to be assured of a desired train speed the only way to do so is trim it down.
It is like Six Flag over Texas' Titan, but without the crappy G-force-packed spirals that crush your head from constant pressure. And to top it off it is faster and taller. I will wait a while for an accident to happen so they can improve this coaster before I give it a chance. Enjoy, everyone!
well an accident won't happen because the manufacturer of this ride has a flawless safety record and they have been making coasters since 1989. Also no coaster over 300 feet tall has ever killed someone
I just lost brain cells from this comment... Mate the ride is constructed by the most highly skilled manufacturer in the industry, with a flawless safety record. Taller+Faster doesn’t = Dangerous. There will not be an accident, so you are going to be waiting a long time.
The thing is on some things the video makes it look scarier but sometimes it doesn’t like a video usually doesn’t make my heart jump like an actual rolar coaster this size would
I wonder why they decided to build two B&M coasters with steep drops(Diamondback being the other). Was Firehawk no good anymore? With this baby, riders may simply flock to this coaster and ditch Diamondback all together 🤷🏽♂️
Viraan I just saw what you meant. Good point. I’m not a coaster enthusiast, but my curiosity is peaking more and more. I just never knew certain amusement parks had two very similar coasters at their locations.
Cedar fair got burned bye the other manufacturers over maintinence issues. Seems every ride is a b n m . or rmc but i hear they are not happy with them either
Javier Guzman they won’t, they’re rides that will offer quite different ride experiences. Also fire hawk was removed because it was costing too much to maintain and ridership was quite low compared to other coasters like banshee, beast, mystic timbers and diamondback
tragic, so much momentum at the end and they end it prematurely. i see tons of land, could of easily continued this coaster for another 45 seconds. was this some kind of last minute budget cut?
The first portion of the brake run is essentially a MCBR so that the train before it doesn't have to wait as long to drop off the lift. That's why the brake run is so long.
Hearing the hate for this ride, I think Coaster Enthusiasts are officially spoiled because of Fury. I did a KI and CP trip in one go this year and honestly, I like this better than MF (WHATTTTT?!?!?!?!).
Tower of Terror II was a Reverse Freefall Coaster, not a Giga. Red Force is an LSM Launch coaster, not a Giga. The only true Gigas are Millennium Force and Intimidator 305, but Fury 325, Leviathan and Orion are similar enough to those to also be counted a Gigas, although they are officially classified as Hypers. Steel Dragon 2000 also technically isn’t a Giga but again, it is very similar to the Giga style used exclusively by Intamin.
Feels a bit like a missed opportunity. I'll reserve my judgement until I actually ride it, but there's nothing here that seems to break new ground or helps separate Orion from the other gigas...besides being not as tall, of course. It begs the question: What's the point?
Making it taller or a longer ride isn’t going to bring more guests to the park it is just going to please coaster enthusiasts and that is not KI’s goal with Orion
Not as tall as other Gigas? Nah. It’s one of the tallest Hypers. The third-tallest, in fact. Look on the bright side of things. Roller coasters are a privilege, not a right.
A giga coaster is a roller coaster with a height or drop 300-399 feet tall. Orion is barely a giga coaster though since it's "only" 286 feet tall and has a 300 foot drop.
I just rode this last weekend but sorry fury this ride unseated you out of number 1 omg I'm taking advantage this year because of Corona. Coming back in two weeks I want at least 15 rides on this sucker in 2 days lol
Went on this Sunday and it was incredibly smooth, I feel like they could have made it either a bit slower (diamondback speed) or make the track longer though as it does feel a bit short, awesome coaster though, also, they rethemed that area with it and flight of fear to “Area 72” and added some props and asteroids and such, Kings island once again is doing great work!
It’s not actually far from cedar point. Only a couple hours drive and they sell tickets that include kings island and cedar point so you could easily just do both
Right??? How spoiled must coaster enthusiasts be to complain about a new GIGA COASTER? It’s incredible that roller coasters can even be built this tall, and people are complaining?

You can make reservations right now as long as you have a season pass
Idk if that's you or not on your pfp but I'll be going there to be funny if we both were in the same coaster (most likely this one) at the same time without realizing it 😂😂
you can make reservations rn, as long as you have a pass
I’ve just realized that King’s island only owns longest record like the longest inverted coaster and the longest wooden roller coaster in the world
Me and my family drove past kings island. It is open, but limited people there at a time.
Feels like we vlogged the beginning stages of construction yesterday. Can't wait to catch some good airtime on this!
Why are b&m break runs always beginning so high up you coud easily put another speedhill or a second helix in ther and the ride wood be even better
Reliability. Less stress on the braking system from slower speeds (being high up) means less maintenance.
m1lk0meda and therefore the coaster to be less likely to be removed for being not cost effective
ElToroRyan's video explains this: it's to both make the braking more gradual, and also functions as a "rolling block brake", allowing for three train operation.
Definitely looks like a great and fun ride especially the first two elements. I think there was expectation that this ride was gonna be taller and bigger given the original hype. Don’t know how much space was available but I think the ride layout could have been longer for sure.
Is the lift hill really that quiet?
I’ve been on it. No it is not lol
yes, however in the mornings or on colder days it is a bit louder
1:13 I see a pesky trim!
Yeah it's on diamond back too what's the problem 😂
:(
Aww man, of course there's a trim smh
😡
All B&M hyper and giga coasters have trims.
Looks fun and smooth but it’s a rlly short ride (I’m not talking bout the height I’m saying it’s over rlly quickly)
Edit: oh nvm I just found out that it is 1 second longer than leviathan lol
Bruh it feels like that because kings Island is known for its world record coasters that hold records for length lmfao. This is like average time.
Yeah you want a long coaster go ride the beast it used to hold the record for longest wooden coaster in the world (it's at King's island btw just incase you never been there)
It is actually average length for a b&m giga. If you compare it to fury 325 and leviathan then they’re actually pretty similar I’m length. Its actually like a couple seconds longer than leviathan
It does seem short for a kings island ride but it’s fairly normal. XD spoiled by that park. So lucky to live less than an hour away
fortnite players dont get to have opinions
That turn into the small airtime hill as the third element was INSANE for the size. I was out of my seat😅
everybody gangsta until you look down at the first peak
That first wave turnish airtime hill is gonna be nuts!! I can’t wait to ride this July 4 and 5!!
Excited to get a ride in! Not sure what reservation I'll do though 🤔
Any of them and you are aloud to stay all day at the park till closing time
oof that trim brake tho
My favorite thing about FastPass is the sheer look of hatred on all the regular people's faces as you're walking directly past them. That look alone is worth every f****** penny
Some men just want to watch the world burn.
LMAO 🤣
I don't even look the people as I head to the front of the line...I just don't want to wait 2 hours for one ride ha...

I like how it makes you look down for a second before the drop, signaling the absolute regret you’re about to face.

One hour? I had to wait that’s same time once for a wild mouse for a giga that’s impressive

Going to kings island on Monday so exited to ride this!
it was awesome. i rode it today. you feel like youre sky diving on the first drop
It looks like a great ride but isn't it too similar to Diamondback? Are all gigas like this? Other than height it seems kinda tame.
I’m pretty sure all gigas are like this
Gonna be riding July 2nd, ill let yall know how it is!
Rode this today for then first time in the front Rowe I loved it
Pretty solid layout, albeit a bit short. Not sure if this will top Diamondback at KI but only time will tell.
Idk. Seems like a larger version of Diamondback. Not upset, just not excited. I think it will be successful for kings island though.
Except better in every way possible
diamondback feels like a kiddie ride after being on this monster…
Btw don’t sit in train a front left seat I may have shit myself while sitting there
Looks like a fun ride! That long downhill brake run at the end is kinda weird, but i guess they had to do that to avoid the huge white building there.

It looks like it could have been longer, but someone came along and said "Okay it's long enough now, end it here".
It's still 5000+ feet long, and a second longer than Leviathan. The only reason Fury is so long is because of that drawn out kinda boring helix.
Still wont make up for the loss of Vortex sadly. It sucks losing that arrow gem. And i was on the second to last train it ever dispatched pubically. With tears in my eyes.

tragic, so much momentum at the end and they end it prematurely. i see tons of land, could of easily continued this coaster for another 45 seconds. was this some kind of last minute budget cut?
Budget cut? This ride cost $30 MILLION, which is insane for a single coaster, and it still has 5000+ feet of track.

fire hawk
I went on this thing twice and both times passed out because of how scared of heights I am and the pull is pretty powerful lol
Looks amazing! I was killed just watching the video!
Wow, the drop goes by so quickly!
I wanna ride this so bad this summer I hope I get a chance to go and ride it!!!
SICK, brake run too long though like Leviathan at my home part.
The way leviathan’s brake run goes over dragon fyre’s lift hill is hilarious
The first portion of the brake run is essentially a MCBR so that the train before it doesn't have to wait as long to drop off the lift. That's why the brake run is so long.
They also do this to maximize capacity
I rode this ride and will never regret
I like the layout and track, although short, I don't like the restraint system.
i enjoy these restraints. it gives you more of a free feeling while on the ride
B&M Clamshell restraints are perhaps the best restraint system in the entire roller coaster industry, maybe behind the Intamin T-bars.
Imagine if they played Orion by Metallica on this ride
I always thought Fuel should have been Dragster's theme played in the station at CP so I'm with you on this one. 🤘🏻

It’s the eigth giga but seven gigas are operating coz TOTII was demolished
shuttles aren't typically counted as gigas
Tower of Terror II was a Reverse Freefall Coaster, not a Giga. Red Force is an LSM Launch coaster, not a Giga.

Making it taller or a longer ride isn’t going to bring more guests to the park it is just going to please coaster enthusiasts and that is not KI’s goal with Orion
The point: To make a fun ride that people will enjoy.
the point is to build a gigantic ride with high capacity and a history of reliability that a lot of people will enjoy and will draw people to the park
Not as tall as other Gigas? Nah. It’s one of the tallest Hypers. The third-tallest, in fact. Look on the bright side of things. Roller coasters are a privilege, not a right.
This may be somewhat controversial but I think Orion is every bit as great as Fury 325

A giga coaster is a roller coaster with a height or drop 300-399 feet tall. Orion is barely a giga coaster though since it's "only" 286 feet tall and has a 300 foot drop.
Why is it the same exact layout as Diamondback?
its not
How are you supposed to keep you're mask on on this ride
Rode this today for the first time.. forgot how to breath for a second 😎
I’ve been here and this ride is so funnnnnn
The park is breathing again thats why you hear music its alive!
I just rode this last weekend but sorry fury this ride unseated you out of number 1 omg I'm taking advantage this year because of Corona. Coming back in two weeks I want at least 15 rides on this sucker in 2 days lol
Went on this Sunday and it was incredibly smooth, I feel like they could have made it either a bit slower (diamondback speed) or make the track longer though as it does feel a bit short, awesome coaster though, also, they rethemed that area with it and flight of fear to “Area 72” and added some props and asteroids and such, Kings island once again is doing great work!
imagine this, but with an electromagnetic propulsion. fury 325 could never
This could also never and will never.
First time I rode this, some guy’s hat in front of me came off and the hard part hit me in the neck.
Too bad I'm going to Cedar Point this year and Six Flags Great America the next year
"Too bad"
@@blitzn00dle50 but the next year after that is Kings Island
It’s not actually far from cedar point. Only a couple hours drive and they sell tickets that include kings island and cedar point so you could easily just do both
Yaaaay I get to go ride this today!!!!😀
You guys asked for a giga coaster and you got one...now stop complaining
Right??? How spoiled must coaster enthusiasts be to complain about a new GIGA COASTER? It’s incredible that roller coasters can even be built this tall, and people are complaining?
Long ride!
How is this any better than the diamond back.
It’s blue
