Don't most people over the age of 50 start to have some hearing loss? If the homes were bought before the 1970, that would put them at least 65. I'm in the over 50 range and i definitely have some hearing loss. (maybe it was all those concerts and construction jobs) Just saying.

The pic headed south is on a flatbed tractor trailer and the other is on a tow behind. Are they going to separate locations or did they load the tow behind from inside the part to transport it to the flatbed?

I plan on buying these early on once I arrive at the park...I don’t want to risk that they sell out, but I don’t want to carry them around all evening. Does the park have a system where they will hold things?
Duh....Lockers will be available

I spoke to Don yesterday at the park. He said that Vortex will start coming down this winter, if not sooner.
Wish they would put a working cam up temporary to see it being torn down

Are floor-less trains vastly greater than sitting
I dont see the attraction of a floor-less coaster. Can someone explain why there has been so much hype about getting 1
As for the Hulk. I found it a pretty decent ride. Was pretty smooth. (this coming from someone that couldnt drive home and had surgery shortly after getting back to KY
Kumba looks like a newer version of Vortex.. not that that is bad. Lets just not put something in there that is gonna require most of the trees

If we look at Fury, They met at the top from both sides since the stop is self supporting. So I think they have to start the bottom in order to complete the lift hill.
that is correct
-
If that is anything it's return track but I dont see them doing that quite yet. They will keep that area as open as possible for the multiple cranes that will be needed in that area and further up
I stand corrected. It very well does look like finished track

It looks like the stream is bigger now. Maybe that's why that was one of the places they where digging?
Has there been any rain that would cause the stream to get bigger or any other water source??

Do they need a removal/demolition permit to tear Vortex down (pretty sure they do) and if so someone could go find out if it has indeed been filed and see if it possibly has a timeline

I wonder if this means the days of FoF and Invertigo are numbered? Everything else is gone or will be gone. Probs not but something to think about.
Well we know the days are numbered for Invertigo (granite the days are a lot longer now) but Its FoF that is in questiom

But who is to say that Vortex could safely operate for a few more years? Surely not us.
The down time for Vortex is extremely low...
example: last 7 day 97.6%

Doesn’t say the park will be removing the ride. It just says retiring. Might be SBNO for little while.
I dont think it will SBNO If they were gonna do that then the smartest thing that CF could do is give it the season curtain call due to the fact that it is still operational and mechanically sound. That would also take a small about of wait time for Orion if it was still running

I wonder if they will sell bolts or something for The Vortex. I would love to get my hands on something
If they would think outside the box, they could auction some for charity. Ive seen other parks auction off trains, station memorabilia,etc.
Wish I would have picked up a Vortex shirt when I was last there

This should of had a longer time to say goodbyes.
Yes, this coaster deserved a 1 season curtain call. CF had a real good idea that this coaster would be leaving at the end of the year so why not announce that there is a good chance that this ride will be closing at the end of the season that way it gave people a chance to get to KI and ride it one last time. (15 days just isnt long enough)
Don't expect anything new to be in that area for a few years. Maybe something big for KIs 50th but we know it wont be record breaking ie Orion
Volcano had issues for years and it sat dormant for over a year before they tore that iconic mountain down but it too was not given any warning that it would no longer be running again
I am glad I was able to ride this one last time on announcement day and as I've said before, the ride was smoother that it had been in years

If we are gonna get rid of CF n Ivertigo then I wouldn't mind something like this being installed. Water is there we already know a boomerang works in that area and doesnt disrupt the gate area (which i personally like)

Not that I am 1 to stir the pot or call anyone out but I did comment on this saying "fake....clickbait" and for some reason the comment got deleted. Wonder why lol.
How wrong was I to do such a thing
