From the moment Arrow Dynamics first introduced the modern looping coaster in 1975, coaster designers have constantly been searching for new ways to turn us topsy-turvy as many times as possible. Kings Island's 1987 addition was no exception. Built by the same people who pioneered the looping coaster, Vortex debuted with more inversions than any other coaster in the world, turning its riders upside-down an unparalleled six times!

While this record has since been broken, Vortex continues to offer up some of the biggest thrills at Paramount's Kings Island. After climbing the 148 foot lift hill, you'll plummet at an angle of 55° down this steel coaster's first decent. What follows is a dizzying mix of loops, corkscrews, and a 360° helix that hurls you towards your destination.

Located near the back of Coney Mall, this ride is sure to leave you wanting another trip around the track.

Central Tip: For the best speed, and a great amount of airtime on the first drop, the back seat is the best ride.

cody :

Posted 1229 days ago

i really think that you guys should leave the vortex & make more room to make a differen't ride some where else...thanks...
p.s you should really make a coster that goes real fast don't break down & has lots of loops & cork screws

cody :

Posted 1229 days ago

I am so p!ssed that they are dismantling the Vortex! I can only hope that they will replace it will a bigger, faster, higher, longer, and record-breaking coaster with loops and corkscrews! Come on KI... bring it on!!!

They are dismantling the Vortex? I've never heard such a thing. They would never rid of one of the Fearsome Four! Live on Vortex you are my fave and you always will be!

emma :

Posted 1202 days ago

wat r they gonna replace it with??

Janey :

Posted 1201 days ago

KI needs the Vortex, it has the most inversions and is therefore, the most bad a**
If they replace it, which I REALLY wish they wouldn't, it'll have to be something just as extreme and maybe even more 'scary'

bre :

Posted 1198 days ago

they arnt replacing it or taking it down and if they do ill shoot myself

Kasey :

hey......i love the ride the Vortex!!!

not even scary! VERY FUN.... must ride

odettekitrigiselle :

Posted 1192 days ago

I rode the Vortex when it was brand new. It was great then and it's still one of my favorites. I rode The Bat too. I was a little girl but they let me on it and I loved it. The cars swung out really far. It had two lift hills and a great ending before re-entering the station. I was sad to see it go, but I was excited when I heard about what was replacing it!!!!

derrike :

Posted 1189 days ago

Janey, Vortex might have the most inversions at KI but the roller coaster with the most inversions in the world has 10 not 6

lauren :

Posted 1187 days ago

theyre taking down the vortex? i ((heart)) that ride. im going there this summer!!=[[

They aren't dismantling it, at least I haven't heard so. That's been a rumor for as long as I can remember. Long live the Vortex, my favorite~

thsocom41 :

Posted 1166 days ago

like everyone else said.. if they replace it.. KI better bring a huge 300ft high and 90 degree drop coaster with loops and corkscrews and all that good stuff lol

harley :

Posted 1165 days ago

i like the vortex couse you go upside down and i love to go upside down!

c.m. :

Posted 1163 days ago

Vortex is great, but I too have heard that it will be dismantled in a year or so due to it sinking. Rumor has it that the area where it sits was once a swamp. I hate to see it go. Its one of the beat rides at KI. I've been to KI several times this year, and each time the ride was shut down for awhile due to problems. They've had a lot of problems with several of their rides this year. When Paramount owned the park, they did a lousy job of taking care of it. hopefully Cedar Fair will do a better job. Yet to be seen though. Look at SOB...

derrike :

Posted 1161 days ago

THE VORTEX IS NOT SINKING SO GET THAT RUMOR OUT OF YOUR ALLS HEADS

harley :

Posted 1161 days ago

you all just need stop worrying and start just injoying the ride

Egg :

Yeah, ummmmm...guys, it's not going anywhere for awhile. It's not sinking, nor is Magnum for that matter.

Vortex is not getting tour down or sinking into the ground.
This coaster is awesome, first looping roller coaster ive ever rode.

Posted 1155 days ago

the best roller coaster in the world to me

Jared Becker :

Posted 1153 days ago

In all honesty, Vortex is the greatest ride in the park. Sure Firehawk is pretty sweet, but you just cant beat the floater air that you get going down the first drop of this thing. To this day, it remains number 5 along my 88 coaster history.

Phoenix :

Posted 1153 days ago

Hello, I am a regular to the park and I have some information that will likely please many of you. There is an out of control rumor that is going around that must be stopped if possible. People will tell you that VORTEX is sinking into the ground at a rate that will have it need to be removed in the near future. This is NOT exactly true. The sinking, if any, is extremely insignificant and poses no threat to the ride OR any of it's passengers. As far as I know, KI and Cedar Fair, it's owners, have absolutely NO plan to dismantle it in any way. Be aware that this is by no means an OFFICIAL report I am posting, however, VORTEX has been around 20 years and I can tell you it will be there for quite a bit longer. Quit fretting and enjoy your ride : )

abbey :

Posted 1116 days ago

Best ride at Kings Island. I rode it twice yesterday, which was alot since i rode every ride except Son of Beast and Face/Off (which was shut down :( ). Mondays are the best if you want to ride rides, I rode everything 2-3 times with plenty of time to spare. I would have rode Vortex more if my boyfriend didn't get sick both times :(...it was sad cause hes rode it many times without getting sick and its his favorite ride.
and you are STUPID if you think they'd tear that down. That is probably the most loved ride next to the Beast. Plus, look down at the ground before you get on the Vortex. Does it look like its sinking? lol

Sara :

Yesterday me and my sister rode the Vortex for our first time. We were really scared at first but we loved it!!!!!!! It was our favorite ride of the day!

tyler wood :

Posted 951 days ago

I love the Vortex. That first drop is amazing. Makes my penis hurt its so steep haha. It is a little rough though and sometimes makes me nervous with how old it is and how much it shakes. Replace it with a new similar coaster

This was the first looping coaster i ever rode and i loved it. I rode it almost 38 times but whos counting LOL

Graem :

Posted 855 days ago

The only problem for me and my brother is that both of our heads bang back and forth on the OTSRs, but this can be alleviated a little bit if you know which way the inversion is going!!!

Josh :

Posted 833 days ago

this ride is good, every time i ride, when i come down the first drop it feels like my restraint comes off. does anyone get this sensation or just me?
i like this ride, but it quickly loses its thrill. i went on it a few times after first riding it, and after about 3-4 rides i was like lets go.

jacob :

its not being dismantled just a rumor and i went today and asked and they they said it was a rumor

fun ride.

nick berry :

Posted 808 days ago

i think i will ride the vortex the next time i go to kings island because my sister thinks i will like it

bugabee :

Posted 803 days ago

Once we got on i knew there was no turning back! Me and my sister were going up the hill just starring at the loops, and twists! There we were at the top of the hill. My hands were clenched in fists! There we gooooo!!!!! Down the hill around the first loop. Well when we got of i was dizzy! Who knew that i was scarred in the line but wanted to go on again!!!!!

Nathan :

Posted 803 days ago

Vortex is probably the best "corkscrew-style" ride I've been on. It's so fast for a looping rollercoaster and the elements are the ride are deliver perfect thrills! They need to repaint and think about smoothing out some sections of the track though.

Courtney :

Posted 796 days ago

I love the vortex. It Is my favorite ride at Kings Island. They have great steel coasters, but if you want great woodies go the next state over to Indiana and visit Holiday World. The Voyage was awesome and had shorter lines than Kings Island. Still, kudos to the steel coasters like Vortex, Firehawk, and Invertigo.

candy :

Posted 794 days ago

This was my first looped ride.. and my sister was mad because i had chickened out all day but finally as night grew closer I decided to ride it. She was angry as we waited in line and turned to me with a serious face and said: " what happens if your bar comes undone when we get to the top of the coaster?" (for those of you whom have read this.. you understand how scary that thought is. I was petrified but still read it anyway.. and loved it. but still, every time I ride it I think back on what my sister said and it gives the thrill a little kick.

trace :

Posted 789 days ago

I rode Vortex about 1 year ago and I rode Led Zeppelin The Ride at Hard Rock Park about a month ago and I thought that these rides were about even. Led Zeppelin had a few more newer moves like a Cobra Roll and Zero G Roll, but overall they are both about equal. I Think the drops on them are great.

Tyler :

Posted 781 days ago

The Vortex made it to it's 22nd anniversary. I have been riding it since I was 7 and now I am 13. The vortex is not going anywhere. I think it is awesome. I have built the ride almost identical on Roller Coaster Tycoon 3. It is so awesome I love the drop and the corkscrews and the boomerang loop.

nick berry :

Posted 780 days ago

loops corckscrews boomerangs oh my man do i so want to ride well im going to kings island in 4 days i cant wait oh yeah and im also going to ride flight of fear and my friends think i like little bills giggle coaster uh no way do i like dude come on i would no mind if the took that ride down and replace it with a thrill ride or coaster

coaster freak :

Posted 775 days ago

I dont like the vortex. The harness hurt me.

KIgirl :

I LOVE THIS RIDE! I ALMOST CRIED WHEN I FORST RODE THIS (i was 12 goin on 13.. im 13 now but im scared of heights and was scared of loops) BUT ITS AMAZING! MY 8 YR OLD SISTER RIDES THIS FRONT CAR, HANDS UP DURING THE WHOLE RIDE! the helix is a little bumpy and rattles my head, and so is the break before the corkscrew (which i think is scary cuz it feels like your gonna fall out due to a reduce in speed) but still a amazing ride

Vortex Fan 4 Life :

Posted 730 days ago

The V-tex Rocks and all of you that think it is going to sink or shut down I have one think to say to you
YOUR RETARDED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kings Island Official :

Posted 711 days ago

No, we are removing Vortex next year, to make room for Dimondback. It's pretty much official at this point, but we haven't announced it *yet*. Ride it whilst you can, and thanks for many years of high ridership!
Thanks again

Jackson :

Posted 706 days ago

What a load of BULL Kings Island Official!
Not only is Diamondback no where near Vortex, but they have Vortex in the Concept Art for Diamondback!
Bull!

trace :

Posted 705 days ago

I think that the so called KI official isn't an official. It is just someone who is trying to make everyone think that Vortex is going down. Don't believe any of this!

Waiting_4_diamondback :

Posted 697 days ago

well, i know you all think the ride is "sinking," but you need to get a grip. would they ever build the ride in the first place if sinking was even a potential occurence? i think not. do a little more research before falling into rumors

Chimpy2000 :

Posted 665 days ago

I agree to whoever said this will not leave. Fearsome Four do not disappear. Beast fans, Vortex fans, SOB fans, and Face-off (Invertigo) fans should not fear because these rides will stay forever.

This is the Third best ride in the park.
1st Beast
2nd Flight of Fear
3rd Vortex
4th Racer
5th Flight deck
I haven't ridden any others, so i'm sure this will change soon

Vortex Rider :

Posted 526 days ago

if theres sombody who can answer this this question please do so or atleast try to................is it true that the sob's loop is gonna be put on vortex if so where?

bobby :

Posted 523 days ago

for Vortex Rider it is basicly impossible to put the sob loop in the vortex bc the sob is wood and the vortex is steel so no not gonna happen!!!!
And for Beast rider here are my top five
1. flight of fear
2. son of beast
3.Vortex
4.Drop Zone
5. The Crypt I have ridden every ride in the park!!!!

beast rider :

Andrew Fowler :

Posted 498 days ago

Vortex an absolute awesome ride! I was nervous about riding it because when I used to ride Double Loop at Geauga Lake, the shoulder restraints would smash your head around the whole ride and you had a headache afterwords. The Vortex, I thought, was a fairly smooth ride! Oh yeah, and here's my top 5 rides at Kings Island:
1.Vortex
2.Beast
3.Flight Of Fear
4.Son Of Beast
5.Firehawk

beast rider :

Posted 494 days ago

kayla: This ride is great. It may scare you going up, but once you get down the hill its easy going. sort of. corkscrews feel like they dump you out of the cart though. thats it.

this is my most favorite ride it's so fun i could ride it over and over and over again until i faint

Beast Rider :

Just sit in the middle. It's a good ride there. Coaster, was Beast demolished for shaking? No!

Ryan :

ok my dad works at kings island and just to let you all kno they are NOT taking down the vortex...... there has been rumors of it sinking into the ground but it isnt that was just rumor...my dad told me that he was thinking that they could take it down and rebulit it so its smoother....but they wont yes it is rough but it is still fun so enjoy it while u can

balla21balla :

me and my dad are having a fight if the vortex is really sinking is it or not?

front seater :

Posted 409 days ago

IT'S NOT SINKING!!
it's not moving an inch per year!
it's not melting, being replaced, changing colors at night, or coming to life, either!!
really, people, do you honestly think they would allow park guests to ride something that would possibly harm them? (excluding sob?)

ride warrior :

Posted 408 days ago

dude i can't believe they are getting rid of the vortex it the bomb and it is the best ride in the entire park KI is stupid if they take the vortex down going august 16 and can't what to ride the vortex one more time before it leaves the park ppl come to ride vortex not the diamondback so it goes 80 mph but it doesn't have any loops or corkscrews i love the vortex and ryan if i find that they taking the vortex down i'm going to find u and . . . .?

Timmy :

Posted 405 days ago

Going to KI this monday. Im riding The Vortex no matter what. Also, for people who want to know what certain coasters are like go to ... youtube ... and type in the coaster you want and then POV. For example, The Vortex POV. This is what conviced me to ride the vortex im so excited cant wait to ride it ive never rode it before.

Timmy :

Posted 405 days ago

It is sinking a very little bit. This doesnt matter though listen to front seater.

( ok well Diamondback probably is but I haven ridden it yet. Im going to Kings Island again in a few weeks and I'm going to ride both.)

kyle :

Posted 338 days ago

ok in my opinion i think vortex should be dismantled
i believe it is sinking but very very slowy and i have noticed the ride becoming a bit rougher idk if the wheels are bad on it or if its just gettin old but look at it from this p.o.v ki and we all know it will get bigger , better and will soon probably be THE best theme park in the world. and they wil need to take down some old rides to make room for new things. i think ki should dismantle vortex and make either A. a floorless roller coaster B. a multidemintion RC or C. strata coaster that can compete with kingda ka. and dont get me wrong i love vortex my first time upside down ill be happy whether they tear it down or not and i mean no offense to those of you who LOVE it

kent :

i have been hearing rumors about vortex closing for several years now.. there is no reason for them to tear it down until it is not safe for the riders.. kings island is only using half of their property right now so they have plenty of room to expand elsewhere

i can't wait to ride vortex. When i go to king's island this year i told my mom im going to ride it by myself because she's going to ride diamondback and if the line is too long im going to ride vortex by myself. When i get in line ill be shaking a little because its my first time on vortex. Im riding vortex in the front seat. I might go to king's island on june 12

My sister worked at Kings Island when she was around age 16 or 17, and they told her it was sinking. But it's not sinking, they just started a rumor. Vortex is fun! Diamondback and Vortex are my favorite :)

okay, about the rumors....
i don't think they r true because i never ever heard them before in my life...
look i've been going to KI since Oct of '07 and i see absolutely no evidence that it is getting lower and lower every year so forget that its sinking and enjoy the ride...
thanks...
P.S. LIVE ON, VORTEX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

to all u peeps at the top of this list they dont need any more room. when u go 2 ki next time go up on the eiffel tower and look back toward the beast farther back there are some houses and then farther to the left there are some more houses ki owns all that land over to the wires on the right I know that because i just recently went on the eiffel tower and an employee from ki told me that and that roy disney walt disneys brother told ki when they where still in construction of the park to buy 3 times more land than what u will ever probably need so they own all that land. peace to the peeps and rides andrew out.

on friday the 23rd when i rode vortex for the very first time i rode in the front seat i had LOTS of leg room since the front car is very roomy
