1 like pays respect to vortex 😭
This ride sat on a piece of history. It used the same station that housed the failed prototype that was The Bat (the original from 1981, not the renamed one that still operates). I hope they didn't demolish the building too, it deserves to be preserved and reused.
They completely demolished the building.
@@Twilley What a shame, that building had so much history to it and was probably one of the more unique ride stations because of that.
The station building would've turned 40 this year. RIP.
Can you imagine the day our generation loses an iconic coaster? Imagine telling your future children about a little old coaster once called “Steel Vengeance.” Haha 😋
Back in my day Hybrids were only 200ft tall 😂
Millennium Force would probably be a kiddie coaster.
There will be a day when there are no Arrow coasters left
Vortex was my childhood and I grew up with it because KI was my homepark. First rode is when I was 5 and now I'm 32. So sad, it was my second favorite Arrow Looper behind Viper. I miss it so much!
Just looking at this would have terrified me at 5, congrats (started to really like intense coasters at 14 going on 15 I’m 18 now)
Vortex had the same historic value as The Beast IMO. Before it opened in '87 there was really no other coaster like it (regarding it's size and numbers of inversions).
I wish they decided to retrack it (like The Viper just a year before), instead of close and demolish it within those few months...
Ill never forget my final ride the second to last day of operation. I teared up going up the lift hill and it made me so sad. May my second favorite ride of all time rest in peace. Goodbye you beautiful arrow gem. You will be deeply missed.
I really missed this ride when we went to Kings Island last week. It was the best arrow looper in my opinion.
Shame to see it leave last year. Maybe a last ditch attempt to save it with new brakes, two Vekoma vest restraint trains instead of three and re-tracking work would have been good but we can't change what has happened. Hope Viper sticks around.
Viper got a major refurbishment from S&S recently, so it's staying for a while!
David Scarpa I think Viper should get Vekoma vest restraints and some re-tracking work. If it becomes smooth the reputation may increase and it may get more riders
Maybe...but ultimately, Arrow has been gone for a long time, and as their coasters age they are probably going to be taken down more and more frequently. I'm actually surprised this was taken down before Corkscrew. Corkscrew is a similar coaster, but 11 years older than Vortex, and still operating. Vortex must've been accumulating problems over the years that would've been too expensive to fix. I imagine that with the manufacturer gone, it was a nightmare to get replacement parts. And I'm assuming that Vortex has just had more things break down than Corkscrew.
@@StormsparkPegasus Corkscrew is one of the first so they keep it around as a showpiece / nostalgia magnet.
The layout is much shorter and the speeds are slow so the maintenance is not such a crapshoot.
spider0804 I think Vekoma vest restraints should be put on it though. No head banging=better experience. Better experience=better reputation. Better reputation=more riders
RIP, my first "serious" coaster beyond the beastie and runaway reptar. Also my favorite, literally first thing I'd ride everytime we went. It did get to be a bit much toward the end but we won't remember it for that.
This coaster is just amazing. I miss it already. I’m sad I only got to ride it once cuz my group doesn’t like rough rides smh
Me too. I only rode it once and wish to ride it some more. I do not know what happened to the rollercoaster. But I hope it was bought and someone put it up.
Danna Bon it wasn’t bought, it’s gone
Relocated arrow coasters are rare these days
My story is the same. Friends thought it was too rough and lame and I only got one opportunity to ride. I’m glad I did
Go back to all they’re houses and smack em all
I rode vortex in 87. The year it opened. It was a thrilling time to be a cincy native.. In 87 KI had the best woodie in the world "the beast" and certainly one of the best steel coasters Vortex.. .. IMHO of course . RIP TEX!
Rode it the last day it was open once in the front once in the back once in the front at night and once in the back at night. The vortex was janky, bumpy, and fantastic it will be seriously missed. Praying that it is replaced with some sort of multi launch coaster that breaks the inversion record. Hoping they theme it in coordination with the beast this spot is a prime place to put a coaster that can interact with the beast
Don’t know if I’ll ever get over this rides removal. Managed to get around 300 rides in last season, 32 of which were on the rides last day.
I bet the laterals were strong on some of those turnarounds
Ben Tell me how you got 32 rides on the last day the line was long as hell, liar
Dude! It was weird not seeing Vortex at Kings Island when I was there last week!
Same here man it was like culture shock, I rounded the corner coming from racer and there was just nothing it was creepy
True it was weird just seeing a patch of land I hope they add a b&m flourless
It was my favorite coaster for years! RIP
This coaster was just GORGEOUS. It may not have been an amazing ride anymore, but damn did it look impressive. Esp in the fall with all the trees changing color. I'm thankful my college friends got me to go to KI for Haunt last year and the year before in order to get some rides in on it before it was shut down for good.
Some really great footage for sure. ❤
My first coaster ever, the start of this descent into thrill madness... I loved every ride on it till the end
This hit me in the feels. Thanks for the great footage to remember this amazing Arrow Mega Looper by!
It saddens me to see this ride gone. Even though the corkscrew was a head smasher. This was the most intense rollercoaster I've ever road at Kings Island. Hopefully next time I go I'll beat that.
That disappointing moment when your home park was Cedar Point but you moved and home park is now Six Flags Discovery Kingdom
I rode vortex at least once every time I visited KI. It was so weird not seeing it there.
My first ever big roller coaster! The Vortex will always have a special place in my heart. I was there a week before they announced it would be closed permanently. I'm so glad i was able to take one last ride
Vortex was beautiful
One of the best coasters ever made.
It's been almost nine months since this closed, and six and a half months since I saw it for the last time. I already really miss Vortex. This coaster set my love of coasters in stone and was a favorite of mine in many ways. I made sure to ride this at least once every time I visited Kings Island. RIP the big OwO.
Arrow custom looper and the B-52's LOVE IT. R.I.P Vortex. Sad to see another Arrow bite the dust 🎢😪
LOVED THIS RIDE, I MISS IT..AND ORION IS JUST DIAMONDBACK IN BLUE. #RIP VORTEX..MY DAUGHTER AND I LOVED IT.
Vortex was my coaster spirit animal, the first coaster I ever rode and it sickens me that they removed it from Kings Island for NO GOOD REASON. it was still one of the most loved in the park and was still much smoother and younger than those rickety Racers.
We will never forget you, Vortex.
Vortex was both the first looper I've ever ridden, and the coaster with the most headbanging!
On the bright side, that's a good size plot of land that's left behind. Hopefully whatever goes there next will be glorious
RIP Vortex.
At 0:16 that kid legit just climbed over the other kid lol
Yeah, that happened a lot on that ride. Even I'm guilty of going it once. Also people sitting on the restraints. I don't know how, but lots of people sat down without pulling them up.
im so happy I live here and got to ride this coaster so many times! im going to miss it.
Sad that it's gone I thought it was one of the better Arrow loopers out there
knowing this roller coaster is gone now I could almost cry so many good memories
RIP to another classic Arrow Dynamics looping coaster...
This was my first major coaster I ever rode. Our picture shows my mom blacked out and I was so little all you could see was the top of my head.
I finally got to ride Steel Vengeance yesterday after waiting 2 years! The hype was real and I'm going back Sunday for more xD Miss this gem at King's Island though.
Ki really had the NERVE to tear down a coaster they got for free from a manufacturer that’s gone
As someone who lost his nearest parks Arrow looper pushing 15+ years ago with the removal of Orient Express. I was worried about Vortex, which means I rode it a lot the last time at KI.
After the first couple of loops I was stopped once and had to walk down the ever dreaded flight of stairs. It was terrifying and the worst part was that we just missed the time to ride another ride once my friends and I had gotten off.
My friends and I all agreed that this was one of the worst rides at kings island, but dang was it beautiful. The park looks so sad and empty without it.
Never got a chance to ride this (I live in Utah), but that growly Arrow chain lift will echo in my heart forever. RIP Vortex
The one ride at KI that made me feel like puking, hope there's a Son of Vortex in the works
Thanks a lot for this footage. I love your youtube channel, and now I can finally post a vortex review video.
It looks so strange at Kings Island now not to see Vortex and just an empty space
Never been this early to a video in my life :P great content !
It's a shame the only vortex we have left is at Canada's Wonderland... It's a shame we didn't see that one go instead. I can't comment on the ride experience because I've never been to the Americas but I'm sure all you 'Mericans are distraught
Most people will be happy it’s gone for some reason the Vortex was a head splitter for about 80% of the riders. I rode it over the course of 13yrs and never got off it with a headache or felt like I had a rough ride. The ride will be missed by almost everyone, I pray the replace it with an inversion heavy coaster.
What about Vortex at Carowinds?
😭😭it will be missed, my first big steel coaster
I was thinking...How cool would it be if, let’s say B&M built an exact replica of Vortex, B&M style. Right down the the iconic paint job. I know new types of coasters are what most parks think people want but Vortex is a pretty Iconic coaster and as you can tell by the comments people really miss it. Anyway I was just thinking.
I guess Vortex knew what was coming!
I remember riding it used to ride it all the time until it got to buy to ride I mean think of all the ride that I love that are gone now the cobra vortex days of thunder the original bat I mean I miss amercana and alot of people don't even remember that park
This coaster had some pretty intense loops. I’m sad it’s gone. But, I am excited for what’s coming next.
Only got 2 rides on it at fright fest in 2019, and it was running extremely smooth. Wish I rode it more than just 2 times
at 4:01 you can see the obvious issue with this coaster for the GP and me personally, this thing was crazy rough; especially the turn right before the mid course break run which always was painful. At least it's first drop was as good as it gets on a coaster this size.
Iconic and important coaster, but it makes sense that it had to go.
i still cant believe its gone not only did i not get to ride the best impulse. Volcano when i went because it was gone i did not get to ride the classic VORTEX??? COME ON.
Never going back to Kings Island because of this.
so bummed I only rode the back car a year before it closed. 15 years of rough rides and i finaly ride the best seat only for that to be my last ride. it was incredible, look at how fast it gets whipped over the drop.
Press F to pay respects the land without Vortex is WTF
F
I last rode it in 2018. It was a hot day without a lot of wind. There was no airflow at all through the station that day, it was awful. The coaster itself smelled like the nastiest sweaty locker room you can ever imagine, times 10. It was absolutely nauseating, and it did not get any better once it was moving - the stagnant air just stayed in the cars. I almost threw up 3 times from the smell. Corkscrew at Cedar Point is a very similar model (if a bit smaller) and it never had that issue.
Man I bet Kings Island had the money to fix Vortex and take care of the problems the ride had, KI could have gave Vortex a refurbishment like SFMM did to Viper or Vortex should have gotten the Vekoma vest restraints like Blue Hawk at Six Flags Over Georgia.
I see you putting all these up for everyone to use in their own videos. You da goat, helping this community out and all :)
So sad I'll never get to ride this beast :( Awesome footage nonetheless
This removal was made so much worse considering every single enthusiast who said this ride was garbage before now saying it's been giving the best rides in years. I've only ridden it in 2019, and I never found it rough. Nowhere even close to other examples in the same park (red-side Racer, yikes). Truly a loss.
The absolute worst part is that KI has no memorial for this ride whatsoever. Clearly it was sentimental to a lot of people, but they couldn't even be bothered to put a grave marker in Banshee's queue or something obvious like that. What a shame.
Rest in Peace
So could I use this footage for a YTP?
#RIP
Next ride here :ground up rmc !
HEYYYYYYY leaving for kings island tomorrow my dudes!!!
I’m too tall for this ride, the only part about it that I didn’t like was that the shoulder restraints would crush my shoulders and push me down. When you’re tall and skinny they try to push the restraints further down because you don’t have a big belly in the way. Shame.
You do not understand the pain vortex inflicted. It hurt your head a lot
I'm so heartbroken I never got to ride this one :(
An RMC Trex called Polar Vortex is the only acceptable replacement
Yall are WILD. This coaster was so terrible. I was always in so much pain afterwards. Ill never understand people who like a "rough ride". Just say you're a masochist and GO
Who makes the closest modern layouts like these? Would love to ride a modern version of most arrow coasters
rode vortex 3 times in a row once when the park just opened and there was no line. Massive headache dont reccomend
Can you do a problematic coasters video on X2? Thanks!
I might go to Kings island for the first time in a month or two, and i’m sitting at 39 credits. Any suggestions for #40?
People rip on Flight of Fear all the time, but if you like launched coasters it's pretty fun. Orion is an obvious choice because it's the new giga. If you like B&M other choices would be Diamondback or banshee. Woodies you have The Beast and Mystic Timbers. Honestly all their coasters are kind of worth it
is your name ElToroRyan because you worked there?
Yup! When I worked at El Toro, I had to answer the ride’s phone as “El Toro, Ryan” so I liked that and used it as my channel name lol
Like comment subscribe and don't forget to hit that notification bell mang
Aw they closed vortex? What did they put there instead?
If yall are this upset over a coaster, just wait till you hear what's happening to Montezuma 😬
Ryan do you happen to keep tabs on your coaster idiots, I think I found one of them
Does anyone know where I could find the dimensions of the roller coaster?
#notMyVortex🍁
By the end it was much slower. Th
The brake run seems so unnecessary
Go to europe
When/why did they close this?
KI claims its bc of maintenance issues
Arrow went out of business in 2002. When the manufacturer is no longer in business, replacement parts are no longer produced, and they are a nightmare to get. Parts fail over time. Corkscrew (a similar model to this but 11 years older) is still operating at Cedar Point, I can only assume it had fewer maintenance issues, due to being smaller. The more cutting edge something is when it is made, the more problems it will have. Coasters that are a first of their kind often have a lot more problems than tried and true designs.
Not the best vortex but its alright
F
Not tryna piss off any of you arrow fans but anyone else think anything arrow built looks like it was straight out of rct?
@@nimpbl3494 yea lol
In reality you have to flip that Arrow went out of business in 2002 and RCT started in 1999.
