Benjamin22 2411 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Sad to see Vortex’s removal has already begun, still doesn’t feel real that it’s getting removed. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

PKIVortex 3701 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 It appears that the track leading into the station is gone. Looks like the transfer track is just completely moved over, that's what they do when they remove the trains.Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk 2 Link to post Share on other sites

LintemuthStudios 201 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Pretty much a summary on how this all came to be: "I want a new coaster at Kings Island! A giga coaster please!" monkey's paw curls 3 Link to post Share on other sites

PKIVortex 3701 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Then I wonder where that piece of track they took off came from. They were a piece of track that lead into the storage shed that was removable so it was easier for them to remove the trains. You can tell this piece of track wasn't traveled on much as they are no marks left from the wheels.Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
