fun observation:

 

the wikipedia page for vortex briefly stated that

 

" it was now closed for good just to be safe" (in reffrence to the fireball accident)

 

not anymore it doesn't

 

queen of the vortex (aqa me) edited it herself

 

also if you check the vortex page on the thorpe park site, you will notice it's not known as "vortext" anymore

 

guess who that was down to?

oh.

 

hey Whiteknuckle?

 

I just saw your post on page 1 of this topic

 

vortex isn't crap, actually I'd quite happily pay to get in to thorpe park just to spend my day riding around on vortex with my arms in the air

 

their are worst rides at thorpe park than vortex

 

depth charge

 

rocky express

 

the banana boat thingy

 

I'd go as far to say that time voyagers (when it was in the park) was pretty childish seeing that it is a teenagers park

 

Chessington could have had that, while thorpe get that ride next to toomb blaster (which is **** by the way), not toomb blaster, the thing next to it that soaks you in water.

 

and angry birds land is a much worse investment than vortex (they rethemed detinator. woopy ****ing wooo. ). gave it a new name and that's it

 

can you tell I'm annoyed that you dissed vortex?

Vortex isn't great though, you only ever face one way when it gets to full height.  Eagle's Claw at LWV is much better, you get to face in every direction, the cycle is much longer and you get a faster spin at the end.

 

Vortex isn't the worst example I have ridden, but it's second only to the broken one at PWH.

That guy ‘dissed’ vortex in 2008.

 

Ten years ago. 

 

A decade ago. 

 

You cant even remember the names of the rides at Chessington and Thorpe and you call yourself a fan of theme parks?

and if you reply saying I missed out I'm a celebrity and hocus  pocus hall from their respective parks, you can piss off.

Anyway going back on topic, its bad to see Vortex having so much downtime as it does usually eat up the queues quite nicely and usually its one of the more reliable flats..

I really think Thorpe soon will need to do some work/replace some of their flats soon, Vortex might not make it for much longer at this rate..

Samurai is a even more drastic case.. Well at least they have flat rides unlike Alton I guess..

theme parks are my life.

 

you've started a war with me... no one tells me I know nothing about theme parks and gets away with it

 

This is like coming face to face with the terrible incarnation of myself when I first joined this website (that I can only continue to apologise for). It’s Karma I guess. 

 

But it seriously though? Double posting, no quoting, no use of grammar... how old are you?

Not the best news source but part of a seat was captured flying off Vortex. Not great news considering KMG’s recent fatality record. Merlin insist this was a “non-critical” part which fell off.
