A high speed, steel, giga coaster which drops riders to a maximum depth of 300 feet reaching speeds up to 91 mph.Orion was exclusively designed for Kings Island by Switzerland-based Bolliger & Mabillard, which also designed the park's popular Banshee and Diamondback roller coasters. Riders on Orion plummet down an exhilarating 300-foot first drop, sending them on a high-speed journey over seven more hills and 5,321 feet of track at speeds up to 91 mph on Kings Island's tallest, fastest and longest steel roller coaster. For the program to be successful, it needs volunteers to help with testing. Scientists are in a race against time to develop technology capable of weaving transport vehicles through a coming meteor storm and traveling to a new planet within the Orion constellation.

Park sectionĤ0☀8′21.18″N 74☂6′11.39″W Coordinates: 40☀8′21.18″N 74☂6′11.39″WĠ to 128 mph (0 to 206 km/h) in 3.5 secondsįour trains, with five cars.

If we assumed the steps were 10 inches each, we would have about 547 steps up to Kingda Ka! Revise and Report: With larger steps of 10 inches, we could take 456*12inches=5472 inches. If we were to increase the size steps to 10 inches, we can also revise our thinking. 456*2=912 stepsĮxplain & Evaluate: It would take 912 steps. If I knew the size of steps, I can figure out how many steps to the top of Kingda-ka.ĭo the Math: Assuming each step is 1/2 ft, 2 steps/feet, it would be 912 steps.

Notice and Gather Information: It is 456ft tall. Observe and research: Need to find data on the Kingda Ka Rollercoaster Wonder: I wonder how many steps it would take to climb to the top of Kingda-Ka. Spark wonder conversations with your children! What do you notice and wonder? We are planning a family vacation to NY and NJ this spring break!
