I. CAN. NOT. WAIT. TO. RIDE. THIS.
Kings Island has started test runs for Orion, the amusement park's first-ever giga coaster! With opening weekend less than two months away, the park is giving us a sneak preview of their monster new attraction.
Orion features a 300-foot drop, reaches a max speed of 91 mph and has eight hills over 5,321 feet of track!
Kings Island opens for the season on Saturday, April 11th.
