Pagoda Gift Shop 1005 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 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 Link to post Share on other sites
Shaggy 5004 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Here's one taken by your's truly in January of 2002... Not sure where I got this next one - but its incredible... (Not taken by me) 33 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Number5IsAlive 69 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 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 Link to post Share on other sites

I guess “fair” is irrelevant since it isn’t in the rules. That's one reason I haven't posted my aerial pictures of Vortex. Wouldnt be fair to anyone. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KIghostguy 2882 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Taken yesterday. I will certainly miss the visual of Vortex. The ride experience? Not so much. 11 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KIDB 446 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 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 Link to post Share on other sites

KIfan73 4146 Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 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 Link to post Share on other sites
ThrillKingsOryan 40 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 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 Link to post Share on other sites
Enchanted Voyage Lover 1154 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 The last one. Taken from ET in August, before we heard the news. 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

silver2005 25205 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 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 Link to post Share on other sites

silver2005 25205 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 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 Link to post Share on other sites

calakapepe 8129 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 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 Link to post Share on other sites

KingsIsland1972 649 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 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 Link to post Share on other sites
LFarley 14 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 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 Link to post Share on other sites
