VortexBFForever Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I'm just hoping it could get painted again by 2017 so it can look extra nice for its 30th anniversary. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homestar92 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I'm just hoping it's here for its 30th anniversary...Not to be a Debbie Downer, but that is never a guarantee. I see no evidence to indicate that it's going anywhere any time soon, but it's definitely never a guarantee. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Italian Job 2005 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 https://twitter.com/KingsIslandPR/status/663027810928353280 No direct statement. But an implication nonetheless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ Kinda Guy Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 It's been awhile since it's been completely repainted. They repainted the running rails in 09 when Diamondback debuted. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkroz Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 https://twitter.com/KingsIslandPR/status/663027810928353280 No direct statement. But an implication nonetheless. And as usual, such a kind, upbeat, engaging response from Kings Island's Twitter. I swear, many of the tweets from that account to fans asking questions reads as if they're dripping with disdain. Compare that to Disneyland. It's not hard to be accessible, excited, and friendly on Twitter if you just put the right spin on it. bkroz, who mentioned via Twitter that they ought to add trees to the park map since showing The Beast sitting out in a field didn't give the right impression. The official park Twitter responded by saying "It's a map of the rides, not of individual trees." Well then. Suit yourself. (By the way, the next year, trees were added. Or, three-pronged bushes at least.) 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ Kinda Guy Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 If that is indeed true, it seems to me like they should have just replied with "Thanks for the suggestion. We will consider it for future maps." We all know they won't but at least it comes across better than what they allegedly replied with. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonofBaconator Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Am I the only one who wishes to see a repaint where the entire track is orange- not just the rails? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silver2005 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Vortex would look pretty awesome in the colors of Corkscrew at Michigan's Adventure.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rivertown Rider Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 I prefer the classic blue and orange. Hopefully it gets a paint job to liven it up especially with the Antiques right across from it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewD4y20 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 If Vortex doesn't get painted soon I think it's a sign of things to come, or should I say go? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not painting a coaster doesn't mean its leaving; if you went by that logic, Diamondback, Racer, and Adventure Express would also be on the chopping block.

NewD4y20 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Diamondback is totally different, you have to know that. I don't doubt it will be painted soon enough. An old coaster like Vortex, letting the paint go and allowing the rust get to the steel and fatigue it will only shorten its life span. Vortex has more stress on its supports than Diamondback also with it being a more jerky ride 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rougarou and Farenheit have my favorite coaster color scheme with orange track and blue supports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
