I think they might just be testing the range of the boom to make sure they can safely reach where the next piece goes.
Or they may be adding more supports we just can't see due to all the supports from the helix.

Cleo looks to be connecting to a section of track already installed. Would they remove a section in order to complete the helix? Maybe my eyes are just wrong haha

Cleo is starting to raise. May see more track in place soon.

I think my preferences that are somewhat possible would be any type of RMC or any type of Mack launched ride. I would probably say for an RMC a ground-up I-Box would be my favorite, but a ground-up topper track would be sweet too. For the Mack coaster something a bit bigger than Copperhead Strike and with a top hat would be pretty sweet (see something like their Blue Fire model).
Things I would also like, but are much less likely IMO are an Intamin multi-launch or an S&S ride similar to Steel Curtain. Pantheon looks amazing and having something like that at KI would be insane. The S&S ride seems like a near perfect replacement for what Vortex offered; not crazy intense, tons of inversions, and pretty tall and fast, but I don't think S&S has ever built a coaster for Cedar Fair before.
As far as I know S&S have only ever worked on the power tower models in the chain.

I like the idea...but I wonder if a PR team might get a bit nervous about the idea of a haunted house that says "hey, imagine if after this you went on one of our rides and died". :-)

It looks as though demolition has started. You can see the excavator where the boomerang element was.

I don't think they're going to do that with Vortex's corkscrews. Alton Towers' version had its corkscrews close to the ground. Vortex's are about 30 ft off the ground and it just seems impractical, especially due to how one of the corkscrews straddles the track between the loops. That would be incredibly difficult to remove without damage.
CP's Corkscrew is also close to the ground and the paths are already in place to keep that as is.
Also, where would you put the corkscews as a display like that?
No with Vortex we are saying they keep the Batwing portion ( too late) near the midway just for photo ops or something. Not the corkscrews,
-
Yeah the pic above looks awesome! It would of been neat in my own opinion. My guess is that CP would do this with corkscrew.

Not much work getting done now lol
** Edit - Big Yellow and cherry pickers are awake! Big Yellow heading out of the helix to start on the exit of the helix.
Edie x 2 - Welp nvm they lowered BY and did nothing lol
-
Give me an Intamin multi launch like Pantheon! I have to agree with the above comment. Please give me a break on the B&M's lol. They are mostly great but I am ready for something else.

Probably doing track work or work on the emergency lift/anti-rollback
Are there anti rollback on a non lift hill ....hill on racer?
Also they wouldn't leave the trains outside to get tore up from the winter weather.

At this moment the batwing looks full intact. I think they ripped out the helix and are cleaning up the mess as they go.

Vortex Removal Updates
in Kings Island

it will be so weird not hearing it running while walking down that midway. Also not being able to be right there as it goes through the batwing.
