What happened 11 years ago on this very historic date at Kings Island The Vortex opened in 1987 on this date Wow what a day.

Dude, use periods

Don't you mean 19 years ago?

And use a calculator or something next time...

2006-1987 is 19.

I love Coasterbuzz, tells me all the dates. I can't wait till the 20th Birthday next year!

And maybe Vortex will even be there to see it!

I just keep track of Vortex by how old I am, since I was born in 1987. Just one more reason to love that ride.

Don't you mean 19 years ago?

ROFL

If they removed it next year, on it's 20th birthday...

Vortex will live to be 32 years old

Give it atleast 25 before it dies. This is PKI's best coaster other than Beast. It diserves a 25th aniversery too.

On a survey I took, out of five peopel:

2 liked Vortex best

1 like Flight of Fear best

2 Couldn't decide between FOF and Vortex

Proves Vortex shouldn't be removed!

This has been discussed to death. But I hope Vortex doesn't leave within the next 5 years. The Carolina Cyclone at Carowinds has been in operation for 26 years. It opened in 1980. Corkscrew at Cedar Point been in operation for 30 years, it opened in 1976. So I think as long as Vortex is maintained well, it should be around for a while.

I still dont understand why people think The Vortex is going to be removed.

Answer this one simple question. What is wrong with the ride?

Answer.... Nothing

As long as it is maintained it will stay around for a long time. PKI has plenty of land and the piece Vortex is on isnt that great anyways.

Next year could be the rebirth or the second coming of The Vortex... As in 2007, CoasterCon, Vortex 25th aniversary, why not add a new multilooper in the spirit of The Vortex?
