Orion, a steel roller coaster located at Ohio's Kings Island amusement park, is one of only a handful of so-called "giga coasters" in the world.

These are rides that have a total height (or a single drop) between 300 and 399 feet tall. With a total track length of 5,321 feet, Orion races over a series of heart-pounding drops and loops, hitting a top speed of 91 mph. Each eight-car train has a capacity for 32 passengers seated in rows of four, and up to 1,650 passengers can enjoy the two-minute-long ride per hour. Since opening, Orion has been a smash hit with thrill-seekers: It won the USA Today 10 Best Readers' Choice 2021 award for Best New Amusement Park Attraction.
