prozach626 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 All hills should provide an equal amount of airtime and the larger hills should lessen their airtime to contribute to the smaller hills. Bernie: The Ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernie: The Ride. Â The next giga will be the biggest in history, way bigger than any during Obama, believe me. Very beautiful, everyone will love it. We will make gigas great again. And Six Flags will pay for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoinItForTheFame Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 This coaster is coming together so quickly. I love how it absolutely dwarfs Racer. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Invertalon Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Looks like the erection of the ride may be complete right on time (Cedar Fair B&M’s typically have the last piece of track installed by the end of January). Not surprised, though. It’s just amazing that Six Flags still can’t learn how to project plan properly with their new attractions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prozach626 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Wow. Construction is really moving along. It seems like it took forever to construct the first two hills, which is understandable, but now the crew is flying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillseeker4552 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Looks great. Say what you want about this coaster compared to other gigas, but it definitely has the best color scheme of all of them IMO. I am a sucker for blue and white. It's so classic and timeless.

coasterbill Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 This hill has some serious potential if it's not too drawn out. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoinItForTheFame Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 This hill has some serious potential if it's not too drawn out.  I’ve been thinking the same thing! - I just hope it doesn’t end up like Titan at SFOT... Where it’s so drawn out it provides basically zero airtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoinItForTheFame Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Is silver the same as white?  Must just be the photo's I've been seeing... Orion's supports have always been looking silver to me. ¯\_(ツ)_/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoinItForTheFame Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I can't get over how close this coaster is to being complete!! Â Â This thing looks amazing! I know I've said it before... However, I really... REALLY can't wait to give this thing a go this summer!! - I have yet to experience a B&M Giga coaster... However, if it's basically like Diamondback on steroids... It's going to be great!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PKI Jizzman Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Vortex's station was bulldozed yesterday. RIP.  This is a good thing, to be honest. That whole area is bottlenecked so badly. If they are going to expand past Vortex/around Racer's turn around it needed to go. I can't imagine how much work that building needed, too. It's been around for almost 50 years.  Also it's reported that the helix is being removed right now. You can kinda see some work being on on the Dback cam. https://www.visitkingsisland.com/explore/live-video  Credit to reddit and then esmebeauty on reddit for a shot from Diamondback.

joelwee Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 It looks like both the helix and the batwing were removed today. I hope O’Rourke posts close-up demo photos on their socials like they did with Firehawk.   Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I have no doubts they are documenting everything. Â *movie trailer voice* Coming to FUN TV at your favorite Cedar Fair park.... Vortex, the documentary. Â How else will they entertain everyone waiting in the 5 hour Orion line opening day weekend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
