I just hope they do something, whether it be a plaque like Son of Beast, the ride deserves some kinda memorabilia 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Benjamin22 1922 Posted November 20, 2019 Sad to see Vortex’s removal has already begun, still doesn’t feel real that it’s getting removed. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PKIVortex 3657 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Delirium13 1322 Posted November 21, 2019 Going to be sad to see this iconic ride go down. I still remember going through my first ever inversion all those years back. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PKIVortex 3657 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
