<p>The time has come. Kings Island has announced that due to overwhelming guest enthusiasm, they are introducing the B&#038;M Orion roller coaster.</p>
<p>Orion is one of only 7 giga-coasters in the world, bringing the tallest, fastest, and longest steel coaster to Kings Island.</p>
<p>At 91 mph, seventh fastest coaster in North America, 10th fastest on earth!</p>
<p>Cost as much to build Kings Island in 1972 as Orion, single largest investment in park history.</p>
<p>X-Base to be renamed to Area 72 themed after secret research facility on the flight of man.</p>
