Bansheelover Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 They have cut it into sections, and have removed the section after the first drop. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpectralBeacon Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spooky21 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 I would pay $$$ right now for a piece of Vortex, anyone at all with a source please PM me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
standbyme Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vortex1987 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrickbateman86 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outdoor Man Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingsMills79 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klabergian Empire Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Here is an idea: On April 11, everyone should make Vortex's logo their profile picture just for that day. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIDelirium Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Visible gap cut out just beyond the lift peak now, looks like the first drop might be the next to fall. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
