Trim brakes aren't always a bad thing. Idk about Behemoth as I have not been on it. Some elements are kinda cool to float over or along. imo.

Yeah, I can't believe how slow the animated pov is compared to the real thing! It speeds through that first bank and the pacing is very consistent.
Right. On these videos people are posting of it testing. Its quick!

It would be cool if they did get a B&M flyer in Vortexs plot of land and renamed it Firehawk
I just want something different. Would be cool to have something no other park within 200 miles has haha.

Even though Ive been talking about an RMC or Mack multi launch, now that I think about it, A B&M dive would be a great fit for the park. The GP would love it
ugh not another dive coaster. sorry i am just not a fan of those too much. If they did go with another B&M. I hope its a flyer...nothing around here like it. Hope it could be like Tatsu.

Hopefully the trim stays turned off but we know how B&M's love to use them!

Mack just makes what they're directed to. The ones in the US are weaker but they have shown that they can make the fast intense ones too. Coasters like Blue Fire and Helix would be great additions. I would love an Intamin Blitz like Maverick but I don't feel they have improved their record enough but could with their new installations but can't see CF going back to them just yet when they have other options. Hagrid had a lots of issues and downtime when it opened (though that's to be expected with all the systems in play and working out the bugs), but if it can sustain it's operational capabilities now as well as Pantheon and the Velocicoaster perform well I could see them possibly become a viable option again.
I would like to ride a few Mack launched coasters or bigger ones. There just isn't too many here.

All Intamin jokes aside, an Intamin blitz/multi-launch is what I have always wanted at Kings Island. It is my first pick to replace Vortex, but I could see Cedar Fair going with Mack instead.
Mack launches suck!!!!! I want Pantheon and the Universal coaster to do amazing so maybe Cf will say..." hey they have made 3 of CP's top 5 coasters. maybe we should take a look again" haha

I can't wait to get my first ride on this thing!

And they do a generally poor job of enforcing no phones out and those hurt even worse than a mask or ball cap would...
I have literally been on rides where someone ahead of me has a phone out, employee comes over speaker and makes the phones are not allowed under Ohio Law please put away and the person doesn't put it away and the ride op simply lets the ride continue.
They did start to make an effort last year and in many instances they would actually stop the ride and go up and retrieve the phone, but way too many continued on without stopping. Again, does a wide-eyed teenager whose heart is set on operating a ride want to now be an enforcer of that policy...if they wanted to be an enforcer they would have applied to security!
Well They can hire ( people need jobs now) more security to have at each coaster. Besides isn't it the ride ops jobs to enforce the rules of riding the coasters. That's literally their job so, if you ask me.....Yes they should be asked to enforce that rule. Its what they get paid for.

Of the employees, but not the customers...that is a business decision if they will require guests to wear face masks...
https://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2020/05/15/covid-19-salons-barbershops-reopen-ohio/5197024002/
That may be correct....but i'd hate to own the salon that does't make them wear masks.

Give me the Intamin multi launch - Something like Pantheon!

Ohio Governor had already back-peddled on it - a couple weeks ago he said it would be mandatory for customers to wear face masks, and then retracted it the next day - before any business even had to experience trying to enforce it...
If he isn't making it a requirement for indoor places, I doubt he would for KI.
He seems to really be of the mindset now of letting it be an individual business decision as well as an individual decision.
They are a requirement for Barber shops and Salons. So really you never know.

Its scary out there.....people saying F it and doing whatever they want. Things may get worse this fall. 2020 is a lost season imo. Good luck to all those who think it isn't a big issue. Stay the F away from me though!!! haha

This is a good website where you can get coaster layout posters with the stats on them. https://www.etsy.com/listing/753766395/Vortex-roller-coaster-drawing-kings this is just Vortex, there are many more. I even have some of my own!
I have the Maverick one and looking to get more for my office. Can't wait. I am also doing a Maverick ( red) and Mill Force ( Blue) colors in the room lol. this is where i will be doing video's for Coaster Conquest soon.

I can add 2 more to the list of one and done....
Desert Storm and Patriot @ Castles N' Coasters in Arizona. Yikes! This is besides the roughness. The ride ops are so lax. On Desert Storm there was only 1 person running the coaster. She checked restraints ( sort of). This is a lap bar only looping coaster. I am generally never worried about riding a coaster. This time i was actually worried. After she kinda checked lapbars.....she ran back to control panel and tried to use the mic but it did not work. She had to yell whatever she was saying. haha
Glad i got those done and out of the way haha. Desert Storm is the biggest coaster in Arizona lol not saying much but yeah haha

All I can say is look at Italy. We don't want that here. Better to be safe rather then sorry.

I know people are not taking this virus serious and i feel sorry for them. Its not just about yourself. They might be fine if they get it but if you spread to others who won't be then shame on them. Sorry for my 2 cents, just getting venting.

The coronavirus isn’t going to have much of an impact. It may be killing people in other countries but we have healthcare that could easily get rid of it.
This post did not age well............
The governor is going to be banning all large gatherings here in the next couple days. I might not get to attend the Blue Jackets game i have tickets for April 2nd. Ugh!

I wouldn't say that. Physically, pretty much unless they plan to sell sections in the Emporium; but Vortex will always be in our memories and in YouTube POV's and reviews.
EDIT: I know this sounds cheese as heck, but its pretty much the truth.
I mean.......it will be gone forever. There is no other answer lol. A memory doesn't mean its still there.

B&M's are masters of floater air and they need trims sometimes for this to happen. I'll take it! If I want ejector I'll ride an RMC or Intamin coasters. They all have their pluses.
