Orion has tons of speed and the airtime on it is pretty good too.



At a hundred and forty-seven feet tall this airtime hill on Orion is taller than most of the coasters in existence just to show how tall this coaster is.



Orion at two hundred and eighty-seven feet tall is the ninth tallest coaster in the world.  What's amusing is that back in 1972 when Kings Island opened The Racer was considered a massive coaster and now it's pretty small in comparison to the new coaster in the park.



Orion is not just about airtime.



As Orion works its way back towards the station it sends you through a high speed upwards helix.
