SpectralBeacon 376 Posted February 13 I've seen what the cup bits look like (have seen bits from someone who has access to the site though i wont name names since i don't know if they should or not) and that's real. They just cleanly trimmed up the ends from one of the cut parts (you would just need some good cutting tools and like you said taking some time) 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spooky21 742 Posted February 14 I would pay $$$ right now for a piece of Vortex, anyone at all with a source please PM me. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
standbyme 2486 Posted February 14 That’s the exact size that I also would like to buy. I wish that the park would announce whether they are or aren’t planning on offering something. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vortex1987 30 Posted February 14 I too would like a peice of Vortex. Its my favorite ride of all time and watching her get torn to bits has tears in my eyes. Please Kings Island offer peices! Even if its just a simple peice id buy it! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is pretty strange how they're treating The Vortex removal with such secrecy while the disastrous pile of lumber, Son of Beast, got a royal fanfare. I'm sure they have their reasons. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Patrickbateman86 82 Posted February 14 I'd like to see something similar to Copper Head Strike at Carrowinds go into Vortex's spot. Multiple inversions multiple launches, or maybe a traditional lift with a launch midway through the ride. You could do some cool stuff with themeing. Its really I prime piece of real estate. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Outdoor Man 2529 Posted February 14 According to the WeatherBug camera there is a crane behind the lift hill as of 9:00a.. no doubt up to some nefarious activity. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KingsMills79 300 Posted February 14 Anyone else bothered by how much taller DB looks compared to Orion on the Weatherbug cam? I would be guessing it's because of the elevation or something. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m not bothered by it, when you see the two rides in person Orion looks bigger, that’s all that really matters. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Klabergian Empire 1631 Posted February 14 Here is an idea: On April 11, everyone should make Vortex's logo their profile picture just for that day. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PKIDelirium 318 Posted February 14 Visible gap cut out just beyond the lift peak now, looks like the first drop might be the next to fall. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
