From 2011, I loved the new view of Vortex's lift hill that the WindSeeker area allowed you to see.  Someone probably has a much better, unobstructed shot like this...

Here's one taken by your's truly in January of 2002...

 

Not sure where I got this next one - but its incredible... (Not taken by me)

 

Great submissions so far everyone, but if @VortexBFForever doesn't win we riot. She has contributed too many awesome pictures of Vortex over the years to KIC not to win this! 

 

I took this on October 12th

@Shaggy, that second photo is AWESOME!

It is an awesome shot, but not sure how that’s fair. I guess “fair” is irrelevant since it isn’t in the rules. 

That's one reason I haven't posted my aerial pictures of Vortex. Wouldnt be fair to anyone. 

Taken yesterday. I will certainly miss the visual of Vortex. The ride experience? Not so much.

I took this in October 2018. I remember thinking it was the best sunset I’d ever seen at the park.

Here is my second submission from this summer.   It is so strange that I felt the need to photograph Vortex this season, as there wasn't anything new about it.  

It's not the first time I've suddenly felt the urge to photograph something whose removal announcement followed soon after (swan lake, and the parking tolls come to mind).

If I post any obscure pics next season, you might want to pay attention!

 

I took this picture before a storm came and it is my favorite picture. Vortex you will be missed. Let’s hope your replacement is as photogenic as you

The last one. Taken from ET in August, before we heard the news.

said goodbye to this icon tonight.

Great night at the park last night  

Photo request- if anyone could get a shot of a Vortex train flying up near the crest of the 2nd hill silhouetted against the sunset, I'd be very appreciative.  Preferably from the angle around Juke Box and The Vortex queue by the brake run.

I'll be bringing my good camera to its last day, so I may get it myself.  I also want some shots of it swooping by RT LaRosa's.  

Luckily, sunset will be occurring before the park closes on the 27th, so I'll be able to get some shots of it at sunset before it leaves.

And of course my favorite part of the entire ride. Back of the train is the place to be. Best drop in the park!

 

I believe this was taken in the Summer of 2012.  I was practicing photography using a "Tilt-Shift" technique with my camera.  I took photos from all angles on the Eiffel Tower that day with a lot of happy results.

This is my Vortex Photo I'm submitting.  

RIP Vortex.  

Photo I got of Vortex ONLY THE BEST ARROW LOOPER in August. The ops were perfect for this great photo. You can see the iconic train going through the Batwing, but another train is in the second vertical loop!
