HandsUp Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Neither agree or disagree because I don't know. Personally I have a lot of memories tied to Vortex and would be sad to see it go in theory. In practice, it's very rough and I rarely ride it anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightoffear1996 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 The Vortex seems to be in pretty good shape to most of the Arrow loopers out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PKIVortex Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Considering they did put work into the ride during the 2017 Off season, they replaced quite a few of the footings and also got a brand new air compressor for it, it's not going anywhere anytime soon.

silver2005 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 ^^King Cobra and Big Bad Wolf were both repainted within a few years of being removed. Thunder Road at Carowinds was undergoing major re-tracking prior to its removal. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick44 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 I don't understand why one has to say they know for a fact and then doesn't share sources. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohiocoasterfan Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 2 posts? Lol, I love when trolls show up.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Probably not a troll.

TheRickster Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 This post really doesn't sound like they are claiming some crazy rumors... so it doesn't really need sources. Sounds like it's from a 13 year old who just loves The Vortex. *shrug* 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the case, they're getting upset over something completely not worth getting worked up about. Theres nothing wrong with people making concepts that may be over the top. I'm sure the people making it know that too, and are fully are that there's no evidence. It's all for fun. Relax. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk The work you are describing is all decided at the park level, it is paid for by the parks budgets. The problem is that ride removal, replacement, new attractions etc, are decided by corporate and paid for by corporate. Individual parks can make requests on what they want but typically the park does not know until the decision has already been made and a demolition crew needs to be hired. While not a Cedar Fair park I always love the example of Transformers at Universal Orlando. The park gave the building to Creative to use as a Haunt for HHN. One morning the construction crew for the haunt is working and a demolition crew to tear down the building shows up. In the end Creative removed their stuff and the demolition started. While nothing quite that bad is going to happen at Kings Island, the idea that maintenance somehow shows the ride will not be removed anytime soon is wrong. If we were discussing a smaller park like Kentucky Kingdom or Holiday World, I would agree with you. But any park with a corporate parent company has issues with one side not knowing what the other is working on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
