@F18Productions I agree. But B&M is in their hayday, when arrow was in their hayday, they ownzzzz. Also, arrow brought many firsts to the coaster world, such as the suspended coaster, the first hypercoaster, the first multi-dimensional coaster. They created the first coaster with 2,3,4,5,6, and 7 inversions. The coasters of today wouldn't ownzz if arrow hadn't pioneered so much technology and ideas.
i love how in the video it looks slow when it goes around an inversion in the video.....but when your actually on the ride your like "HOLY CRAP THIS IS FAST!!!!!!!"
this looks like a fun ride. it reminds me of viper a bit, despite the lack of one inversion and this one's got a more complex layout (which i like a whole lot)
I love this ride so much..Its not good if your really tall like me though..When you loop around the corner (the 1st one I think) and your langs are just dangling...Yea..The bars barely nipped my ankle..I'd still ride it over nd over..They better not be taking this ride down ]=
That's strange... Those loops look really big from the path near the batwing loop, but up close, they just look small. So do the corkscrews. I haven't been on this for over 3 years, and the last time I rode it, I had my eyes closed (I was 10). So is this coaster as big as it looks in real life, or is it small like in the video? I have some footage of this from my visit to KI last month, and it looks pretty big in my videos.
I was at King's Island in July...its a great coaster and did not seem to jerky to me. I had heard while I was there that this is the last year they are running this coaster because it is sinking into the ground...does anyone know if this is true?
that rumor has been going on forever if it was sinking the steel would warp and people would be in the hospital by now but i have heard its going down cause its old...maybe a new ride will take its spot
i cant wait till i go to KI! its my first time going! i might ride this but loops arent my favorite. i was on 1 loop coaster and i screamed and closed my eyes the whole entire time!
this coaster is small comparred to all the other roller coasters at kings island, i have a season pass to there and this is one of the smallest coasters.
Haha! This coaster is sooo much funn. If I'm an 11 year old girl, and I can ride this....you can. lol(; It's really not bad, just PURE funn! But, you get so nerous if you're like me when it goes upside down the first time...then i look forward to it again! lol
i really really really want 2 ride this but after walking around kings island all day...your feet usually hurt...and when i was on the bus about to fall asleep....it still felt like i was riding something
I went on that, where the head rest is it like rattles you and if your not careful you will hit your head on the sides. Dx My mom wouldn't go on it again with me because of that.
i love this ride so much when i go to kings island i ride this ride first every time but now when kings island opens in 1 month im going to run to dimond back gust so i can ride it without having to stand in line for 5 hours or 3
A few things about this ride. It is a very steep drop..it's just not as tall so it has to come back up earlier. Therefore it would seem less steep. I love the ride and its old records, but they need to make the over the shoulder restraints wider or softer. They give you to much room to bounce your head around and it hurts sometimes. I know a lot of people think the same way as me. It's true fact about The Vortex, at Kings island, now.
Mine too, my brother dragged me through the line. Then I went on Millenium Force a year later, almost 150 feet taller. MF is 310 ft and vortex is 148 ft.
At night it's cool.. because all that's lit up is the hill. OMGSH. Ride the beast at night. It's AMAZING. When it's pitch black you have no idea where you're going and the track gets dew on it so you go even faster!!
The first big hill from the backseat gives the most extreme "fly out of your seat" moment I've ever experienced on any coaster. This part alone is worth the ride. The rest of it is just ok.
I believe they took down the King Kobra in the winter of 2001. I went to King's Island in 2002 and it wasn't there anymore, but you could see where it was there.
