The "wave turn" is just an overbanked curve or overbanked camelback. To me I love the hanging feeling and you get some great speed. The turnaround is an underrated moment to me just because of how steep the banking is and how huge the curved drop off is.

My favorite B&M for years was Raging Bull at Six Flags Great America (it was my home park since I was born and raise in the Chicago area). Orion reminded me a lot of Raging Bull and a bit of Millennium Force with that drop. However, Orion takes the cake for me and it's just a blast, especially with that drop and its speed. A friend and I joked that it was as if Raging Bull and Millennium Force had a love child and out came Orion LoL. Also a great night time ride too with the lights they have shining on the coaster and the lift hill. It's awesome!

I doubt anyone who calls Orion a hyper also wants to call Goliath a hyper due to its height.

Rode this for the first time last weekend - 6 times. Easily the best ride in the park. Orion is awesome because being so high off the ground in those exposed seats is a crazy sensation which all the elements really exploit. Personally, I love the wave turn, as you really get that feeling that you will fall out of your seat while hundreds of feet off the ground. Front gives better forces, back gives better airtime. I think the first drop in the back is definitely worth the wait for the ride, whereas the front just absolutely crushes you at the bottom of each hill. Love this ride.

Bank the "wave turn" to the right instead of the left (thus producing some airtime due to the convex curve vs concave as it currently is) and reverse the turn around so we actually get a better drop sensation out of it. Those two simple design tweaks could have been accomplished without any extra cost and I believe would have made the ride a massive contender. Still a great ride though, one of my favorites for sure.

I think that Orion is a solid ride for the park. Being that Kings Island is my home park, it makes the park's lineup feel more complete. This is only the second giga coaster I have ever been on, with the first being Millennium Force, and I personally think that this coaster ever so slightly ranks above that. It is only my second favorite ride at the park (first being Mystic Timbers) but do not get me wrong, I still try to get on this ride several times when I visit. I quite like this list of the best elements on the ride as that quite lines up with mine. I would switch the brake pop and the helix out as I am not the biggest fan of that helix. I would also switch the first drop with the twisted dip. This may very well all change as I will be able to get the chance to add two more gigas on my list later this summer. Intimidator 305, and yes, Fury 325. Great video as always and also thank you for not slandering this coaster like some other people do.

The really entitled enthusiasts thi really pissed me off during this whole Orion process from when the plans were leaked... because there is Parks all over the world who would kill to have Orion at their home park..

At least a few years ago, Kings island was one of cedar Fair's highest grossing parks in the country in terms of profit. It was one of the most profitable parks in the mid-west. They were making an enormous amount of money in merchandise and food. Cedar Fair, for a while, really cared about Kings island. That's where diamondback and banshee come in, the latter having a huge price tag and an excellent ride for an inverted.

Thanks for the review, I’m glad to see it was a positive one! I’ve been surprised at the “love-it or hate-it” response this ride has gotten. It’s either having good or bad days (which I don’t expect from a new B&M giga) or people are taking their preconceived ideas based on the stats into the ride with them. I hate to think this, but I get the feeling many of the social media personalities are parroting each other in their negative reviews and I appreciate that you came in unbiased and have given your honest opinion of the ride. Personally, I thought it was excellent, providing a good variety of forces (positives, negatives, laterals and speed). The first drop is one of the best first drops I’ve experienced, especially in the back, and factor in the decent theme, lighting package (I also hear it’s a great night ride) and smoothness (so many wimps out there complaining about “rattles” 🤷♂️), and it’s, to me, the best coaster in the park, and best giga (please can we all stop this silly argument?!) in Ohio. I love mille, but I can’t think of one element that I’d take over Orion besides the view from the lift hill. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and I will never believe there is a definitive review of any coaster out there (we all have to experience them for ourselves). It could stand to be a bit longer and I agree that non-wave turn does fall flat, but for me Orion is an excellent coaster.

Although I've never ridden any B&M hyper (including the junior ones; like the 2 Goliaths or senior like the Gigas; Leviathan, Fury and Orion) Orion has the steepest drop of them at 85 degrees and doesn't pull out too fast like Intimidator 305. (Millennium Force's drop is still pretty sweet though) but the drop of Orion in the back kooks on par with Fury 325, possibly better considering that although Orion's drop is 20' less it's still 4 degrees steeper. But the contour of the drop is unbeatable. Looks like a back seat ride'd feel like her... heaven.

Leviathan is my "home" Giga, being from Buffalo NY, and I say Orion is slightly better. Favorite element - The first drop Least favorite - The camelback hill. In a park with 2 amazing camelbacks on Diamondback, this one just doesn't stack up. Overall it's my 3rd favorite Giga behind Millennium and Fury, above Leviathan and I-305. Great ride overall, fun theming and outstanding operations, nearly Fury level.

2 months after my rides, and I'm now thinking that I like Orion more than Fury. My rides in the front were far stronger than what you got. The wave turn and turn-around are best experienced on an edge seat, right edge for the wave turn, left edge for the turn-around. Both are better in the front. The entry into the brakes was far stronger in the front for me. I do like a sense of constant speed like on Fury, but I prefer the way Intamin does speed. I appreciate that Orion is always doing something and has different elements. That's what makes me feel that it has a far better layout than Fury or Millie.

I got 6 rides on it the weekend before Labor Day. 1 in the front, 1 in row 6, and 4 times in the back. I pretty much agree with your review. I would flip #2 and #3 as I think the Speed Hill is the 2nd best element.

I’d swap Millie and Levi, and swap I305 and Fury, but it really comes down to preference

I-305 is good if you like intensity but for the majority of the gp they do not like the ride it's too Intense for the average person..

BuckNutty Yea I enjoy intensity but that trim 3/4 of the way really kills the ending of I305 however it’s still my number 3 overall

My own thoughts are I was left underwhelmed. I would love for this ride to be in my home park of SFOT as it would be a star attraction in Texas. However, in Ohio where roller coasters should just be placed on the state flag, I was satisified; but not blown away by my ride. It did what it should do, I had fun, I bought a souvenir, and I told people about it. But, I left the ride feeling there was so much there that wasn't used. I plan trips to Ohio every year where I spend at least 2 days at CP and 1 at KI. I was really hoping this ride would make me go to KI for 2 and flip around to CP for 1, it just didn't do it. If I live near Mason, I'm thrilled this is in my backyard. 1200 miles away in Texas, it's still CP and Millennium Force for me. Side note: The Sonder Brewery down the road made a "Giga Coaster" beer with themed cans and it was awesome!

This is one coaster you want to ride in the front as opposed to the back m8. 1. Speed hill 2. Drop 3. Twist dip 4. Pop into breaks 5. Camelback 6. Helix 7. Wave turn 8. Turn around Also I don't get the h8 on the wave turn, if you lean forward at all in your seat your body flies to the right to stay upright as the car takes the turn sideways.

I think I'm riding this next year and I don't know how to feel it looks kinda meh but it's a giga so it's gotta be good. I just can't get over the fact that it only has 6 real elements after the drop
@OklahomaCoasterFan

Fury has only 5 real elements after the drop. The first of those 5 is the treble clef turn-around, unless you count those slight turns that don't have any force as elements. Orion is always doing something of note, which I appreciate.

I haven’t been on the ride yet, but it sounds great! I plan on going to Kings Island during October and hopefully getting some rides in. Too bad I have a fear of heights and will probably freak out riding it!

I definitely agree that it was not as smooth as I expected for a brand new coaster. I went in July when they had just opened for the season. Millennium Force is still a much better coaster.

I love orion, But it feels too short. I rode in the back, and I got whipped into the first drop. Its also pretty intense in the back, I havent rode in the front nd of which I might, but I really dont know overall, Its pretty intense and has some decent Air Time in the back. Especially the camelback. I dont think its as good as Diamondback, but definately in the top 5 in the park in my opinion.
