Captain Nemo Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Wow, if thats his name i wonder what his password is? anyway, Vortex is a very good ride and doesn't hurt at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coasterfan Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 It does depend on your height though. When I was a kid it always hurt. I don't think it did the last time I rode it, it has been a long time though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Bombay Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Vortex does depend on your height, if your not somewhat over those OTSR's your going to get a bit of a head bashing, but Vortex is still fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alien Seed Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 I've actually found that the further back in the train you sit, the lesser the head bumps. Front seat gives the typical bumpy experience you'd probably expect from it, but last seat is very smooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIVortex Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Vortex has never seemed rough to me ever. But call me crazy I do find it a little bumpy though in the rear seats of each car. I don't like those seats anyway cause i'm a taller guy at a little over 6 feet tall. And my knees aways hit the back of the seat in front of me. *side note* Notice that person with the weird screen name has only two posts.

HabloRM Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 It's one of those rides where it depends where you sit. My favorite seat is the front of the last car. Great air time down the first drop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moore Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 The only time I ever thought Vortex was a little bit bumpy is in the double corkscrew but that a kind of a norm for any corkscrew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tubaman Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 Last time I rode Vortex, it hurt. Of course it has been a while. In fact, I probably wasn't over 5 feet last time I rode it (I didn't ride it last time I went to PKI). I don't think it will anymore since I am now 5'6" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 I will never understand why a person loves coasters, but complains that they're too rough. Solution: DON"T RIDE THEM and/or DON"T POST IN THESE KINDS OF FORUMS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongLiveTheSmurfRide Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 I don't think The Vortex is that bad, but I'm over 6', while my girlfriend hates it because it rattles her brain. The real fault I have with the coaster is that the seats themselves are just kind of uncomfortable for the amount of shaking the coaster produces. But that's to be expected with Arrow coasters. They get bumpier the older they get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightoffear1996 Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 I enjoy The Vortex and I think it is one of the best arrow loopers out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlopez Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 if you know how to control yor head then it won't bump around. Jennifer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That can't be your favorite seat, that's my favorite seat as well. Seat 7-1 (Last car first row) Has always been my favorite, just love being pulled over the top of the lift, and down the drop.

Jasper Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 Love the name. It doesnt hurt my head that bad. It feels like you are going to fall out if you sit in the back. Very cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RailRider Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Vortex is pretty smooth for an Arrow Multi-Looper. Especially since they run the breaks heavy before the corkscrews, the ride has become smoother than it use to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I remember back in the early years of operation of Vortex, you used to barly be slowed in the block break. You used to fly thru the corkscrews.
