DeltaFlyer Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Over the last few weeks that Vortex was open, I made some audio recordings of different parts of the ride. There was quite a bit of background noise in many of them, so I did my best to filter it out. I also converted all the files over to Apple Ringtone format (.m4r) so that they can be used as text/ringtones. I love having the station bell as my default text tone. Includes: Lift Ambient + Alternate Lift Ascension (in-car) + Alternate Lift Block Clear (bell) Train Stopped in C brakes (bell) Ready Brakes Opening Station Brakes + Alternate Here is the link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ifinL5Jen_6C6Kwy2OvD-hV---jMsx1b?usp=sharing Hope you enjoy! 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VortexBFForever Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 I LOVE THEM!!!!!! After hearing those sounds every day for three summers, next season will be so weird without them...but I’m thankful that they have been immortalized. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McSalsa Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 This is awesome- it is nice to have all these classic Vortex sounds archived. (I had a idea for a use for it in No Limits 1 but it didn't work like I'd hoped- I'll still enjoy just being able to listen to Vortex's sounds again) Also I had heard that bell ringing noise dozens of times while in line for Vortex, and never realized until now it was for when a train had crested the lift hill or if 3 trains were stacked on the brake runs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The three ring bell was only when a train was stopped at the C block brakes right before the corkscrews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bad- now that I think of it, I don't think I ever saw or heard Vortex stop there, so all I ever heard was the "Cleared Lift" bell.

Klabergian Empire Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 @DeltaFlyer Could you make the document so people can view it but not be able to edit it? Since it is a google doc it should be able to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
