Vortex_fan Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Hello, I am so sorry I haven't been on here in a long time. I have been thinking about my account now that Vortex is gone. Anyways, I was wondering if anybody misses The Vortex? I miss it, I think a bunch of people complained about Vortex, but when they announced the demolition people were pretty angry about it. This is just a quick thread asking on your thoughts. I will post soon bye! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn Meyer Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 ^ Well being that the season hasn't started yet for Kings Island, it's hard for me to acknowledge that it's gone yet. I hope that doesn't sound mean, but once I walk in the park and look over that way, then it will hit me the most. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VortexBFForever Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 You don't have to ask me twice! In all seriousness though, I'm missing Vortex a lot already. It literally defined the last ten years of my life, from my first time being flipped upside down in 2010 to my first job as a ride op from 2017-2019. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldschool75 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Yeah I'll miss it, but there will always be a little part of it that will be within reach to remember it by. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Obvious Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 I think it will effect us a lot more when we go back to the park (whenever that happens) and see it gone. For many people, it was their first "big coaster" growing up and all the sounds of it were iconic in that area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver2005 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 I've been updating my coaster credit list/ratings, and I denote defunct coasters on it. It pains me to put Vortex in that category now. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bumper sticker has the end curled up a little but is still not hurt really. I have buttons also from the same year for The Vortex and White Water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have there been any pictures posted of the area that formerly was the home of Vortex since they took it down? Since we can't visit, I'm curious what it looks like right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcraig88 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Looks like dirt. You can find videos on Youtube that are taken from above that shows what it looks like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You aren't that old - you aren't of the targeted COVID-19 age bracket yet (cross-threading) Many of the links would be drone footage and KIC policy is to not allow those links... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
