I've been a lurker here for years, I even had an account at one point just forgot my account info, oops. I will say I do agree with what everyone is saying though that something else other than demolition could be in store, but at the same time, I feel as though the park wouldn't say the ride is at the end of it's service life without demolishing it. What other coasters supposedly "reached the end of their service life" Regardless I'm upset Vortex is actually my #1 coaster I adore old arrows and after losing the scream machine at Great Adventure as a kid Vortex filled the void. I'll really miss the intensity of the first drop in the back row, being dragged through the loops and getting hang time on the corkscrews. It's a little bit of everything and that's what makes it perfect.
