Orion was quite popular so we went to ride the other rides.
In this photo update, we share our experiences from attending Coasterstock at Kings Island for the sixth time. After a one year pandemic hiatus, the event was back on in 2021. It took place later than usual in July.
The event included the usual special behind-the-scenes opportunities to check out The Beast, Diamondback, Banshee and Orion as well as extensive ERT sessions at night. This was our first time to get up close and personal with Orion! It was raining pretty hard during the walk-back, but we braved it out to get some neat photos.
Coasterstock returns in 2022 in its original time. The event is very popular and tickets sold out in under 10 minutes!

It started with a Banshee behind the scenes photo opportunity. The lighting isn't too great in the morning here so I wonder why this is always a morning photo op. This was the only photo we took.
