In the meantime, here is some great drone footage of testing from a month ago, from a neat angle:
Kings Island | Orion | B&M Giga Coaster

Do we think that this will open up with the park or a little bit laterMid-May is the best intel we have at this point.

I will say this; judging by the testing footage above, that trim is gonna kill the potential airtime going over the larger airtime hill. Sure, the floater will be amazing! But it also looks like the "finale" is severely more toned down than it could be.

Looks like maintenance is allowed back in the park, so when they get the greenlight they are ready to go

If the parks open this year, I'd bet that Orion will open too, given thats its pretty much ready to go besides maybe some loose ends to finish in the entrance/que.
That having said, Gov. Dewine was asked on Ohio amusement parks (CP specifically) the other day, and did not indicate a definitive timetable, for when they could reopen.

We'll just have to wait and see...

Does anyone else think of South Park TMI episode when thinking about Orion? LengthXGirth divided by Yaw = 287. Sorry guys, bad taste but it is kinda funny.
I mean, first things first - Kings Island hasn't even announced the official protocol for how to get into the park.
TL;DR for any new coasters opening in 2020 - wait and see.

KI made an announcement on the 9th about a reservation system on their app. Have been checking every day about it, but still nothing. I think reservations won't start until a few weeks before Season Pass opening.I mean, first things first - Kings Island hasn't even announced the official protocol for how to get into the park.
