    I come from the future. Vortex lives to be over 30 years and wooden coasters have evolved thanks to companies like GCI, RMC, and GG. Also make sure to get a lot of rides on the Antique cars because th

    To answer the question asked in the title, yes...in 15 years!

This rumor has been going on for years. It is not going anywhere. The only reasons to remove it would be that it is 1) a maintenance nightmare (like KC) 2) not safe any more (it is safe) 3) replacement parts are no longer available (which they are still available). So, there is no real reason to remove it.

:stupid:

One of the more popualar rides inthe park....and lets not forgot that it is the only traditional steel coaster in the park....

ITS NOT GOING ANYWHERE!!!!

The Demon

:cowboy: Cowboy up :cowboy:

first time i heard this rumor was around 1997... and every year since then... now if the rumors were not true then, i'm sure they are not true now... cause if something was really wrong with it back then and they were even thinking about removing it, dont you think it would be gone by now? i don't see The Vortex going anywhere....

The Vortex is 17 years old this season but this ride is still fun and can draw long lines. I doubt that it is going to go anywhere because it is the parks only tradtional coaster and the ride is still popular. However I have noticed that it does have a high maintance cost but if the park does take it out I am sure they will put it something more thrilling than The Vortex is was or will ever be.

What are you talking about?

There is a Dippin Dots guy that is slow, dosen't fill up your cup, and like to spread rumors about the park.

Asking the question, "Will Vortex leave?" is just like asking if you will ever get a girl friend. It won't happen.

I think I know who you are talking about. Is it in CM by SR&R and the guy is tall with blond/brown hair?

Such harsh words coming from someone with just 2 posts.

Please, troll elsewhere.

What do you mean by this?

OK, for all to know- the Dippin' Dots guy is a fictional person that spreads insane rumors about ANY park. It is like having a troll post on these boards. Purely meant to be humorous.

Vortex is a people pusher. It has the best capacity of any ride in the park. It is not going anywhere. IF this rumor were true, the park must have a REALLY GOOD reason.

Keep it nice kids, we're here to have fun, not to sling mud.

Plus, all of my sources tell me that The Vortex isn't going anywhere.

First off Vortex is one of my Fav Coasters ..Didnt they just paint Vortex not to long ago? Vortex isnt going no where.

Althought I do agree with you that The Vortex isn't going anywhere, you have to remember that the King Cobra was painted just a year or two before its removal.

If The Vortex was to be moved for a better coaster, I would say :censored::censored: yeah! PKI needs a better coaster than The Vortex because it's getting too rough the last couple of years.

Will The Vortex leave? One person's knowledge is probably is as valuable as the next, so there is no reason to attack someone for what they have to say. These insults will not be tolerated on PKIC. If you want to go somewhere and just sling mud all day, you know where to go. Otherwise, watch your posts, there's no reason for this thread to get closed or for you to get suspended or banned simply for disagreeing with someone. Now, in an attempt not to have to close the thread, I ask:

I know I was just playing along! :lol:

Mmmmm Dippin Dots!!!! :D ....Vortex is a great Steel Coaster I think it will be hanging around for a little while...Do any of you think that Vortex will be Rethemed like to MI or to Star Trek? :wacko::blink:

Doubtfull since the majority of the track is so far off the Ground there would be little theming you could do. :ph34r:

Star Trek...SPACE...I dunno I was wondering if Vortex could be themed to a Paramount movie.

Vortex will not leave. I don't know this for sure, but, unless it is really expensive to maintain or there is zero ridership, then there's no reason it should go.

Well when a park gets a new ride they should always expect maintance. Anyway The Vortex will not be leaving any time soon and if it does there best be something good to replace not another stinken flat ride.
