Kings Island recently announced that it will start the 2020 season with a new giga coaster, the Orion, which will be both the highest (300 feet) and the longest (5,321 feet) in the park.
Aside from the 300-foot drop, riders will fly over seven airtime hills at speeds up to 91 miles per hour, making it North America’s seventh-fastest coaster.
“I expect to see a lot of people coming from all over the world to ride,” says Kings Island general manager Mike Koontz.
