Official Kings Island Orion roller coaster POV

Thrill-seekers will experience a new level of excitement when they visit Kings Island in 2020. Joining the world-class line-up of roller coasters at the park is Orion, one of only seven giga coasters in the world, a class of roller coasters having a height or drop of 300-399 feet.

Themed to the park's new Area 72, the ride features the latest prototype vehicle developed by the Project X initiative. Scientists are in a race against time to develop technology capable of weaving transport vehicles through a coming meteor storm and traveling to a new planet within the Orion constellation. For the program to be successful, it needs volunteers to help with testing.

Riders on Orion will plummet down an exhilarating 300-foot first drop, sending them on a high-speed journey over seven more hills and 5,321 feet of track at speeds up to 91 mph on Kings Island's tallest, fastest and longest steel roller coaster.

Orion was exclusively designed for Kings Island by Switzerland-based Bolliger & Mabillard, which also designed the park's popular Banshee and Diamondback roller coasters. #Subscribe #KingsIsland #RollerCoasters

Honestly, I can not find a single negative thing to say about this coaster. It's so amazing. <3

[noelleshangoutbuddy]

This ride is so fun. I didn’t expect the drop the be that extreme when I rode it for the first time.

[xathira]

Rode this 26 times in 5 days, wish I could've ridden it more... Orion cured my fear of big coasters and will have a special place in my heart forever ☆

[crackajack]

This coaster has the best singular moment of airtime I've ever had. I do like that the restraint isnt fully snug

[Dudles]

This is an absolute behemoth of a ride at night. The lights are absolute stunning as well. Kings Island seriously knows what theyre doing. I can’t wait for the next coaster

[mads.]

the air time on this is absolutely insane, i felt like i was floating on most of the drops, it’s such a fun rollercoaster

[BenRockwell-zb]

I just rode Orion today and All I have to say is WOW. It was very smooth and very fun throughout the entire ride. This is easily my second favorite rollercoaster at Kings Island behind Banshee. I would recommend Orion to everyone going to Kings Island. Thanks to the Kings Island team for such an amazing ride I will never forget!

This coaster is 100% underrated, it's the only giga I've rode that consecutively made me grey out all three rides. Also, lost my phone on the ride, KI called me the next morning to say they found it and somehow it didn't have a scratch! Legit miracle with how wild this ride is!

Just rode this today for the first time with my 11 yo daughter! We loved it!! We actually rode it twice because we had early access to the park and it wasn’t crowded at all (probably due in part to the high 90 degree temps) and we walked on to all the big coasters. An amazing day!

[andrewhxrris]

my first giga <3 exactly what kings island needed tbh. so excited for the future of this park, can’t wait to see what else they come up with!

[yuhimanthony]

This is the best ride in my opinion. The drop is so fun it feels like your floating.(not a bad way) You also just fly around with twists and curves!

[luvvkaaylaa]

rode it yesterday and was my first ever big boy roller coaster ride. ABSOLUTELY the best thing i’ve ever ridden. diamond back close second 😁

[kyokushinkuma]

My Daughter and I were up there last May, from Florida, we had a blast, unfortunately we didn’t ride Orion or Diamondback. If she passes third grade, we’re coming back up there and riding both of them. We did ride Banshee, Mystic Timbers, the Bat, and Racer. I rode the Beast. I wish we lived closer to your park, we’d be there every weekend.

Probably the smoothest and most enjoyable coaster out there. Been going to this park for a while and this ride was the first one I ever bought merch for. Absolutely in love with this ride!

[salstrom]

Trust me, your first time after going on this roller coaster you feel like the king of the world. It truely feels like you are flying. It’s incredible and nobody should be nervous to ride it because it is pure enjoyment, so smooth. It feels like you are cutting through the air!

[samuelamaral]

Just rode this last Saturday (before the rain hit) and this is now my favorite ride in the park. I kept thinking the drop would be the worst part of it but it ended up being my favorite part of it.

I honestly cannot find anything negative about it other than Orion leaving me wanting to ride it over and over again. Cannot wait to get back to KI later this summer to spend the day at Soak City and finish the day on Orion!

[Zickcermacity]

I love the color blue picked for this track! It's like it's self-illuminating. Not to mention a great ride layout

[plaguechan]

Rode it for the first time a few weeks ago. Wait was totally worth the thrill.
I screamed the entire time lol

[SeaWorldOrlandoandmore]

Man, all b&m hypers are amazing 😍
