Vortex... Closing Forever... (Kings Island NoLimits 2)

One of the greatest Arrow loopers of all time is coming to an end. As of recent, I started appreciating the ride and its splendid wonkiness. It had bizarre, imperfect transitions that no engineer would build today, but I enjoy its oddities. The thick lenses of nostalgia tend not to make me appreciate a ride that much more. Some older rides, such as Magnum, Montezooma, and Vortex will always remembered as great rides and may we wish that the two former live much longer lives.
This is a NoLimits 2 project I finished last year, but never had the time or patience to place the theming that this ride deserves...

I see you went with an Orion like final brake run.

Kings Island: "Sorry to say, but we're removing Firehawk"
Public: "No! Why couldn't have been Vortex?"
Kings Island: "Ok, we'll remove Vortex too! Sheesh..."
Public: "Wait! That's not what we meant!!!"

Kings Island: Sorry, it was too late to see your 2 favourite coasters getting killed.
Publik: It's ok, try and make another coaster concept next!
Kings Island: What plans do we have today?

B&M about to steal your idea and make the break run the highest point on the ride

[@kingsislandfanboy]

This is the most upsetting thing kings island has ever done

[@jakearmstrong6993]

I spy a tiny launched Racer, what looks like a double track Beast, Diamondback with Orion’s turnaround, and what looks like it *might* be Invertigo?

Everyone: wanting to build hyperrealistic rollercoasters
XYZ: lets build a toilet paper one, that is a boat, jet and truck at once, a bobsled with jumps, and a train driving th wrong direction

[@WapoStudios]

0/10 transitions weren’t janky enough

[@thebolenshow1499]

This is pretty cool, it could make for a pretty cool ride at kings island or something

[@Spix_Macaw]

it is a ride at kings island its being removed!!!!

[@themeparkreconnoiter9787]

A Cincinnati Reds Themed S&S Record Breaker Looping Coaster.

[@ArrowThrills]

Vortex got removed just because it reached the end of its service life dumbest explanation ever.

[@kristendithomas3522]

There's more to it than that i bet. Can't get parts anymore could be the reason.

[@johnfoltz8183]

Busch Gardens saids they same thing ten years ago when they announced the closing of Big Bad Wolf.

[@theceoofgoogle3048]

It’s because it’s manufacturer, Arrow Dynamics, went out of business in the early 2000’s so parts are a hard to find.

[@ArrowThrills]

@@theceoofgoogle3048 do you think Vortex could have gotten a refurbishment like SFMM did to Viper or maybe it could have gotten vest restraints ?

[@theceoofgoogle3048]

MTF I am not sure. I don’t know what there situation on parts was. I think if parts were more plentiful, kings island might have done some kind of refurbishment already, but since parts were thin, they probably didn’t want to spend the money to refurbish it because the rides life would end soon.
