Vortex1987 Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 The last time i rode Mystic Timbers in October 2021, I remember seeing a large orange pipe inside the shed. It looks a lot like Vortex's rail. Is that what it is? Im curious!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least it shows that Cedar Fair are still paying attention to theming on that ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndyGuy4KI Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Just got off of MT. I did not see it in there, but maybe it was moved, or what you heard was right and it is gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJSkyFoxx Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Makes me wonder what they might have had planned for that piece of track. Does anyone remember that section of track that was laying in the plot of land that it stood on that was there for a hot minute? I had this image in my head they were keeping it for a future theming piece for whatever takes Vortex’s spot. Probably a stretch. But it’s a nice thought that something might stand as a reminder of the past. And seeing as they did a memorial for SoB in the Banshee que, I feel it’s possible. But who knows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndyGuy4KI Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 I looked every time I rode MT this past weekend. I never saw the track piece. It was sort of nice to have it in there, a little sad they removed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vortex1987 Posted May 2, 2022 Author Share Posted May 2, 2022 When I rode it friday I couldn't spot it. I guess they must have removed it. I always liked looking at it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJSkyFoxx Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 For better or for worse, Vortex is missed even if only having remnants of the once great structure around. I still hold hopes for some kind of memorial for it whenever the space it occupied becomes something. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jandyb79 Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Vortex final destination was the former AK Steel (now Cliffs) in Middletown. A friend of mine works there and sent me this photo last fall. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vortex1987 Posted May 12, 2022 Author Share Posted May 12, 2022 All thats probably melted down now, so all thats left of it are the track slices that are sold. Plus the 2 or 3 other people that own big pieces of it. (Sally Boyer, Carolyn, and someone else) which makes me curious exactly, how many of those pieces were produced? Ive heard 200 from several sources. Which also makes me question something: may my thread on here have actually contributed to the park even selling them at all? I think it might have, which is actually pretty cool!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And slightly like a rubbery smell. Lol. I actually think this is from Pleasure Beach's Big One. I recieved this as a gift a few years ago from a family member, i still have the COA, its just buried in my closet somewhere.
