Tous les avis

When this was new it had OTSR's that sucked out loud. They switched to just lapbars forever ago and it has been great ever since. Then they turned it around several years ago and now run the trains backwards. The reverse launch is pretty awesome. It is intense and super unique being backwards. You go from dark to bright daylight and can't see anything until you are upside down in the tophat. It has been very reliable over the years. The two train operation keeps people moving through the line pretty well. Overall a very exciting and excellent coaster.

If you were to look up 80's looper in the dictionary, this ride should come up. This was the quintessential and ultimately the culmination of this type of coaster. It has the most of everything. It was one if not the longest, tallest, fastest and most inversions of this type all in one ride. Most from this era were 1 or 2 trick acts, but not Vortex. It had many up its sleeve. This one seemed to age better than the vast majority as well. Even in its final years it very re-ridable. I wouldn't go quite as far as to say it was liquid smooth by today's standards, but you could somewhat comfortably ride this several times in a day without getting beat up too much. Again this was probably the best genre. Sorry to see it go.

sensations are perfect. BUT it goes so fast we can't really appreciate the setting

Airtimes First Drop Intensité Temps mort

I love this coaster, it really packs in a punch with that insane drop and non inverting loop. It definitely has some weak spots later in the layout, but it still ends with a bang in the heartline roll.

Launch Trop court

It has a little bit of floater on the launch but there’s literally nothing else to the ride. It’s honestly just a waste of space

Launch Layout

It doesn’t do anything except unbanked turns, which makes for kind of an awkward layout.

Launch Intensité Layout

The launch is amazing but after that the ride doesn’t really do anything, which seems like a missed opportunity since they had so much land and money to work with. All it does is turns and nothing else.

Fun

It’s really not much more than what any kiddie coaster should be. E&F miler does a great job on their kiddie coasters and this one is no different

Vitesse Intensité Layout

Really fun and unique woodie. Crazy laterals and intensity, all packed in the aggressive layout.

Airtimes Inversions Intensité Vibrations Trop court

This is a perfect contrast to Knoebels wooden coasters. It’s a fun thrilling looping coaster, but doesn’t manage to overshadow Phoenix and twister. I thought it was super intense and had some great moments of hang time.
