Pagoda Gift Shop 869 Posted October 13 From 2011, I loved the new view of Vortex's lift hill that the WindSeeker area allowed you to see. Someone probably has a much better, unobstructed shot like this... 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Number5IsAlive 66 Posted October 13 Great submissions so far everyone, but if @VortexBFForever doesn't win we riot. She has contributed too many awesome pictures of Vortex over the years to KIC not to win this! 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's one reason I haven't posted my aerial pictures of Vortex. Wouldnt be fair to anyone. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KIghostguy 1856 Posted October 14 Taken yesterday. I will certainly miss the visual of Vortex. The ride experience? Not so much. 11 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KIDB 446 Posted October 14 I took this in October 2018. I remember thinking it was the best sunset I’d ever seen at the park. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 17 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KIfan73 3878 Posted October 16 Here is my second submission from this summer. It is so strange that I felt the need to photograph Vortex this season, as there wasn't anything new about it. It's not the first time I've suddenly felt the urge to photograph something whose removal announcement followed soon after (swan lake, and the parking tolls come to mind). If I post any obscure pics next season, you might want to pay attention! 11 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anonymouspringle 16 Posted October 17 I took this picture before a storm came and it is my favorite picture. Vortex you will be missed. Let’s hope your replacement is as photogenic as you 16 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Enchanted Voyage Lover 1022 Posted October 18 The last one. Taken from ET in August, before we heard the news. 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

silver2005 23771 Posted October 19 Photo request- if anyone could get a shot of a Vortex train flying up near the crest of the 2nd hill silhouetted against the sunset, I'd be very appreciative. Preferably from the angle around Juke Box and The Vortex queue by the brake run. I'll be bringing my good camera to its last day, so I may get it myself. I also want some shots of it swooping by RT LaRosa's. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
silver2005 23771 Posted October 21 Luckily, sunset will be occurring before the park closes on the 27th, so I'll be able to get some shots of it at sunset before it leaves. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
calakapepe 7904 Posted October 21 And of course my favorite part of the entire ride. Back of the train is the place to be. Best drop in the park! 8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KingsIsland1972 649 Posted October 21 I believe this was taken in the Summer of 2012. I was practicing photography using a "Tilt-Shift" technique with my camera. I took photos from all angles on the Eiffel Tower that day with a lot of happy results. This is my Vortex Photo I'm submitting. RIP Vortex. 16 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LFarley 14 Posted October 22 Photo I got of Vortex ONLY THE BEST ARROW LOOPER in August. The ops were perfect for this great photo. You can see the iconic train going through the Batwing, but another train is in the second vertical loop! 14 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
