I'm glad that even though Sarah is an Orlando coaster enthusiast, she doesn't always compare everything do Disney or universal. A lot of Florida thoosies do that
>Orlando coaster enthusiast. Hell Busch Gardens has the best coaster lineup at any single park in Florida. And that's nothing compared to Ohio as a whole
I believe a lot of that has to do with the amount of people on the trains. From what I remember when I was there in October they were loading every other row, so more people will add more wait to the train this time around
I'm definitely a bigger theme park fan than amusement park fan. For example, Knotts is my second favorite Cedar Fair park. That being said, I really have to tip my hat to Kings Island. As amusement parks go it's really an incredible place with excellent atmosphere and a very well balanced ride collection.
It's ironic, I went to HW, then KK, then KI last week! Had never been to KK, it had been 18 years for HW and 20 years for KI. I went to the dark side and got the Fast Lane Plus for my second day at KI, but I got on so many rides! I loved their "Big 3" B&M's. I hadn't been to any medium or large parks in 15 years, it was great to get back out. As for Orion, I can't really compare it to other gigas since the only other one I've ever been on is MF. But overall I preferred both Banshee and Diamondback.
Is it just me, or does it seem that rides have been breaking down a LOT this year? Gatekeeper’s chain broke, HQ Spinsanity at SFA had a dampener issue with a leg, now Toro derailed at SFGAd. What is happening? Also, the reason why Orion seems like a giant hyper is because it WAS originally a hyper; KI told everyone that the rumored CGA hyper was canceled and supersized for Kings Island
rollercoasters and other rides have to be continuously moving at all times. because of covid, all parks were shut down for almost a year, so no rollercoasters were operating, and that causes issues. that’s just how rollercoasters work, idk the technical part of it, but they have to operate frequently or else issues will arise LMAO
I appreciate the tip on getting your hand far enough back on diamondback to get drenched. Did it today on last ride and got fantastic results. Whole left side of body soaked.
I dont want an RMC of Beast, but what about a Titan Track makeover? The double helix needs to remain unchanged, but if Titan track could be used to update the layout and remove some of the trims in the first half, the Beast could once again be world class
Recognized Paul working Orion a few weeks ago but wasn't 100% sure it was him aha. Wow, should have said something. Been waiting for this video! KI was fantastic. Every ride was hauling at their maximum pace. Beast was rough though!
I love how even those who are somehow still hung up over Cedar Fair’s own nomenclature on what constitutes a giga (Boring! Please get over it.) still have to admit to the less snobbish GP masses that Orion is a really great ride! BTW it’s 300 feet from the lowest point on the first drop. It’s not built on flat ground. If you come up with a category, you get to define its parameters. Full disclosure: I’ve just had one ride on it and it was literally less than a week ago. In addition, the only other giga I’ve ridden is Millennium Force and that was in 2000 and 2003 (which also gets unfair hate). That said, everyone I was with, myself included, thought Orion was amazing! It was smooth, fast and had amazing air time with no pain when we rode it! That should be a winner in anyone’s book! In the end it’s how it makes you feel! Oh and I vote to keep maintaining The Beast the way it is! … well, maybe some Gravity Group treatment could help without completely changing the experience. It’s a piece of Roller Coaster History like The Racer! (Just don’t sit over an axle in the last car! OW!) Some things are worth preserving. There are plenty of choices of parks and coasters from which to choose. Kings Island is a very popular park! It will survive loosing a few of us. Let’s not remove everything that makes Kings Island so unique! That’s a truly great park with a rich history! We just don’t need to RMC everything! Let’s keep some of the icons! … and please understand that I appreciate the fact that coaster channels must walk a fine line and deliver content appropriate to their target audience. Taylor, you are the great mediator. You do it with class! Thank you for your open mind and very helpful content! I love the enthusiasm you and Sarah bring to this hobby. There’s room for everyone here, even us pensioners!
i went last year in October and got a night ride on Orion and its 10/10 only two complaints I had was didn't get to try blueberry boba tea and I missed out on banshee it was closed
I love Cedar Point but you’ll get twice as many rides at Kings Island. Great operations. I am at Kings Island every week. The Racer is much better this year. This must be an old vid, cuz KI has been open until 10pm for a week.
I started the day with Orion which was awesome, but I think I preferred Diamondback to it for most of the day. At the end of the day though, I finished with 3 straight rides on it, and now it's my favorite at the park! Also just inside my top 10 as well. Right behind MF.
Agreed, I found myself enjoying DB more overall bc it''s not as intense. DB is just so re-rideable whereas Orion leaves me needing a break after greying out on the upward helix. Still an insane experience going through that first banked turn and turnaround 200+ feet in the air
After riding both a ton last year and this year, I’m pretty certain I like Diamondback better overall. You can’t beat the drop on Orion, but Diamondback gives such amazing air time. I love it. I think my top 3 in the park are Diamondback, Mystic Timbers, and Banshee.
@@appalachianenthusiast9499 Yes it is, Cedar Fair coined the term, and it’s for marketing purposes. Watch ElToroRyan’s gigs brake run video. If it sounds like I’m hating I’m not, I’m just saying the Orion is a giga.
Orion's at its best....but yeah, I know the Flight of Fear inside the exit has a bunch of old VHS videotapes.....Makes me wonder what Kings Island's doing with this nowadays....Definitely can't wait to celebrate Kings Island's 50th Anniversary Golden Celebration in a couple months even though it's already fast approaching now.
@Patrick Cadiz On the diamondback row 3 is, but on the banshee try to ride in row 1 but if not the first 3 rows are the best. But for it to be more intense the back of both is better
@@SunshineStateCoasters sorry to hear that, ive met him twice already this year. simple little conversation and went our ways. told him i enjoy the channel etc.
Taylor you are probably aware of this but if you got your platinum pass from Kings Dominion, you have $50 on your pass as a reward since they did not open last year. Just wanted to remind you in case you forgot. I am assuming you got your pass from Kings Dominion, as much as you travel I could be wrong, but didn’t want you to miss out on free money.
Does Kings Island need a reservations for passholders? I got a platinum pass for CP and I know reservations are going away for that park, but I’m not sure if Kings Island still has them.
Sorry for bringing up an unrelated topic on a Kings Island video, but I think we may have confirmation of the record breaking Gerstlauer's location. I just saw a transcript of the call for the ride being approved on a CoasterForce thread. The script was posted last Thursday, June 24th.
Well they gotta do SOMETHING. Retrack it like the Racer or something. I love the ride, have been riding since I was a teen. But it’s REALLY rough this year. I almost dread it 😂
@@nathansarley1712 not that it would be better its just that it effected the coaster industry drastically........ace made it a coaster land mark and rmcing it would take away the glory

@@seminoleboy96 if bgt ever adds an intamin, b&m, or mack hyper it wins Florida. For now it's a battle between bgt, sea world, and islands
I’m so glad I got to ride Firehawk before it closed. It was a really fun ride.
Easily the most underrated ride out there!
I was absolutely furious when KI demolished that! Orion should’ve replaced Vortex or Invertigo! Those are both piece of shits!
Same man
Same I love flying coasters
Wish they didn't take it away loved the ride to
I feel like Orion is running SIGNIFICANTLY better this year than it was last year. Not only is it smoother, but this thing hauls butt!
It’s my 1 in the park
Full trains probably helps.
I believe a lot of that has to do with the amount of people on the trains. From what I remember when I was there in October they were loading every other row, so more people will add more wait to the train this time around
@Zacheroni mystic is was insane last week while I was there. It was flying!
If this is smooth, I’m glad I didn’t make the trip last year. I didn’t like Orion and it gave me a massive headache
Kings island literally being a 15 min drive for me: 1 visit this year
Carowinds literally being a 8 hour drive for me: 2 visits this year
Your closer than me
Logic 👏
I’m the same way but with holiday world
I go to Dollywood like 12 times a year and I live about 5 hours away but Carowinds I haven’t been to in 4 years but it’s like 1 hour away
same with me, i live 30 minutes from darien lake but we go to canadas wonderland and hp alot
Ready for the Michigans Adventure & Minnesota vlogs!
Same. Can’t wait!

Maybe because during their down time of COVID they couldn't keep up with maintenance. Hence why lots of issues
Add shivering timbers and voyage to the list

I was just at KI on the 22nd and 23rd for my first time. Orion is my #2 giga of the 5 in North America!
I dont want an RMC of Beast, but what about a Titan Track makeover? The double helix needs to remain unchanged, but if Titan track could be used to update the layout and remove some of the trims in the first half, the Beast could once again be world class
they could also remove the trims after the second lift hill
the helix is still awesome, but it would be better without those trims
The beast only needs basic retracking, nothing else.
Me: can't wait to see Sarah go to KI for the first time
0:00: already roasting the park
Why were they roasting the park?

How long did this take to type?
I went in early June and it was awesome!
Im proud to have this as my home park
Great vlog, saw you in line for Orion because when it broke down I was on the train on the break run😂
You should do updates coaster reviews for KI!

I have a pass to kings island (Because I live near it) i've been so many times that I started speaking with anouncment lady at 0:25 lol
Orion, I 305, and millennium force all have the same size first drop. Definitely all gigs coasters
I started the day with Orion which was awesome, but I think I preferred Diamondback to it for most of the day. At the end of the day though, I finished with 3 straight rides on it, and now it's my favorite at the park! Also just inside my top 10 as well. Right behind MF.

For sure.
So I am going to Kings Island, first time in 25 years. Besides Beast, what is the best night ride(coaster)?
I have not been to Kinds Island since I lived in Ohio. I was 17 ish and now almost 50 OMG!
Beast at night is the best thing the park has lol 😂
Love Coaster Studios!!
Did you guys see Logan operating the Drop Tower?
Cant wait for a valleyfair video!
Pro tip: try to get last ride of the night on flight of fear. They turn the lights on
I think I've heard something like this, but is this fr?
@@NoOne0716 I can confirm from my own experience that it is real
There was a period where they ran it with the lights on years ago, it was cool.
Are you planning on doing more Coaster Parodies?
If so could you do more kings island ones? Banshee, the beast, and Orion
there will be more parodies in the future, yes
@@CoasterStudios yay! Thanks for replying to my comment!
Such a fun park
I’ve never been to kings island I can’t wait to go
Just to be clear... Sarah does know that Orion is a giga. Right?
I was wondering the same thing.
But is it a Giga? Kings Island could claim it to be the world's tallest hyper.
@@appalachianenthusiast9499 instead, it’s the world’s shortest giga.
@@appalachianenthusiast9499 Yes it is, Cedar Fair coined the term, and it’s for marketing purposes. Watch ElToroRyan’s gigs brake run video. If it sounds like I’m hating I’m not, I’m just saying the Orion is a giga.

Orion is awesome at night. I just rode it after fireworks last night, but Fury is still the best.
Fury is so overrated. Once it hits the helix, it is an uneventful snoozefest to the break-run. Unlike Orion which keeps its speed till the end.
Funny thing is I seen you at kings island Taylor a few weeks ago
fun video, you should have ridden the bat. a old friend is working it this year.
This is my home park and i didn’t realize how not smooth banshee and diamondback are until yesterday
@Patrick Cadiz On the diamondback row 3 is, but on the banshee try to ride in row 1 but if not the first 3 rows are the best. But for it to be more intense the back of both is better
That moment when Taylor visits your home park, you have a season pass, but you made plans for the day without knowing 🙃
He wouldn’t hang with you anyway. Nothing against you, that’s just who he is
@@SunshineStateCoasters but hes ok with a simple how are you.

Taylor thoughts about the el Toro derailment? Do you think the whole track will get retracted?
Did yall hear about toro derailing
what day did you guys go? i was recently there i wanna see if we were there at the same time

Only reservations needed for Soak City
RMC raptor at Six Flags Magic Mountain? Recently saw rmc raptor trains by Scream

I was on a train for mystic in the vlog lol
Great Park!

great!

I believe that was fake lol
After looking at it again, I think you're right.
If the beast was RMCed… can you imagine…. All that RMC straight track?
yeahhh so update i rode fury 5 times today it’s #1 orion is #6
Intimidator and MF are better than Fury. More intense.
Taylor, what is your opinion on Excalibur at ValleyFair?
Valleyfair video coming soon!
Are you spending the 4th in a park
It's such a shame the Canada/u.s border is still closed. I so want to go to Kings Island.
You live in canda
@@Laneysportscards yes
I WAS HERE TODAY!!
Sorry for breaking Orion right before you guys got on the last ride of the night, it’s my job lol 😂
Edit: wait, was this a different day?
Turning The Beast into an RMC is a horrible idea. Its too legendary and iconic. Don't touch it.
they could re-track it though, then they could maybe remove the trims on the drop after the second lift hill.
do you think they could RMC The racer though
@@MooseGooseThe1st No. The Racer was re-tracked over the winter and it feels like a new ride.
@@KyleGMathews true
i guess they would have to make a hard decision if they decided to RMC anything. Or they could have RMC build a ride for the ground up.
Nice video
Valley fair next???
AAHHHH!!! Sarah hasn't been to Kings Island yet? Where else has she not been to yet that would surprise me?
Until a couple months ago carowinds and kings dominion
She also hasn’t been too sliver dollar city and magic mountain
Its technically a giga because the drop is 300 feet
I'm wondering when they going to revive Son Of Beast.
never
They should rebuild it just so that it can be RMC'd
Me looking for myself because I was there all day 😎✌️
What day did you go? It must have been a while ago because the cicadas are all dead.
this was beginning of June. Just didn't get around to posting it until now
The cicadas were never really that bad in Mason though, down near Cincinnati they were a lot worse
How would Sarah rate Kings Island as a park overall?
she loved the park!
Lol Orion is no Fury 325
5:38 Sorry, Sarah, but there is absolutely no way that the Beast will get the RMC treatment. EVER!
OMG I was riding the beast before ya was alive lol
It’s a blessing to be only 15 minutes away. Fury is definitely better but Orion’s drop is more powerful.
wait did you all go yesterday? cause thats when i went.
we were there yesterday yes, but thats not when this video was filmed.
Did Sarah like kings island?
yes!
Love kings island. My home park
NEVER RMC THE BEAST
If they do I’ll stop visiting
Well they gotta do SOMETHING. Retrack it like the Racer or something. I love the ride, have been riding since I was a teen. But it’s REALLY rough this year. I almost dread it 😂
I agree it is rough and they should retrack it, but they definitely shouldn’t RMC it, sure it’ll probably be better but that would just ruin the ride
@@nathansarley1712 not that it would be better its just that it effected the coaster industry drastically........ace made it a coaster land mark and rmcing it would take away the glory

i saw you on diamondback here but i didn’t get a chance to say hi.
Orion is 301 foot not 287 just saying
It's also a giga Coaster
0:39 Bruh you went to Winterfest 7 months ago
Correct, but it wasn't much of a visit considering only half of the park was open and I only got on one ride
Why was the chicken sandwich eaten like that hahaha

@@DoomPlague at least make it look nicer. The coloring is very ugly.

been 5 times this season already
