  • Hello melmo716 : You Are Standing Up On This Coaster...

  • Hello melmo716: You Are Standing Up On This Coaster (Vortex)

  • @melmo716 Your standing, but at the same time sitting on this bicycle looking seat..it can b uncomfortable if you sit wrong

  • Vortex got a new paint job

  • the vortex is intense. definitely a must if you ever go to carowinds.

  • I think Mantis is better, but good onride!

  • Hello Lanehastheblame: Thank You For Your Comment/Question :) This Ride Is Located At Carowinds In North/South Carolina. Though If You Look Up Six Flags Great Adventure's (Jackson NJ) Graveyard Rides You Will See That Yes, They Had One Just Like This It Opened In 1990 & Closed In 1992 Called Shockwave,,,,,,I Loved That Ride...But As A SFGA True Blue Fan....I Always Noticed That ANY GREAT RIDE They Have...They Always Get Rid Of It : (

  • ? what are u talking about?

  • i'm talkin about a thematic park from Spain, name: Portaventura. I went twice. It's awesome

  • Hello califgirl101: Thank You For Your Comment :)

  • @califgirl101 Hey... I have never been to any other theme park but Carowinds. No, not even DISNEY or Seaworld. Never :(

  • I rode this!

  • There's a ride called Vortex at Thorpe Park.

  • this is at carowinds isnt it?

    because it looks like the stand up one i rode

  • Hello crazycaleb92: Thank You For Youe Question :)..... Yes, This Ride Is At Carowinds : )

  • thank you for answering my question

    : )!

  • No Problem :)

  • Short ride, but looks fun :)

  • I THOUGHT that looked familiar! My dad I rode that thing about 15 times in a row many years ago, alternating between the very front and the very back each time. Fun times!

  • the vorteex in kings island in mason,ohio is alot better than this one

  • wow how can u hold on to the camera

  • Hello binkinater: Thank You For Your Question:) How? I Have Actually Been Taping For A Loooong Time & After A While You Just Get Use To Taping..But The Main Key Is To Hold Your Canera As Close To Your Body As Possible...I Always See People Holding Their Camera's With Their Arm's Extended Out,,,That's Very HArd Especially When The Ride Is Going In All Directions :)

  • This was my first coaster I ever rode that had a loop.

  • XD good job.

  • Woohoo! This is my dad's favorite ride!

    I like it, but that thingie that goes in between your legs is uncomfortable if you don't adjust it right. XD lol

  • really. cool :)

    this coaster has been here for some years now :D

  • I dont mean this coaster i mean that boomerang =P we already have that in six flags belguim its awesome

  • ooooo.. lol

    slow me :)

    coolio

  • =P !

  • haha

  • Last Year I Bailed On dat ride

  • i cant wait till 09!!!!

    there gettin a new coaster called the carolina cobra

    its going to be a boomerang coster

  • yeah i was there 2day and seen that

  • ooo man!!!

    wat does it look like

    i havent had time to go to carowinds

  • idk they just have a sign up that says it so idk wat it looks like yet but i cant wait

  • me either!!!

    its gonna be awesome...

    its taller than afterburn (even though it isnt really that tall)

    but yeah..

    3 inversions foward

    3 inversions backward

    finally carowinds is stepping it up

  • @ljhbaby93 I'm sorry, but Carolina Cobra is shorter than Afterburn and Intimidator...

  • @ljhbaby93 Actually afterburn is taller than the cobra 19 ft exactly

  • if its a boomerang coaster it will probaly have a backwards lift hill and then it has a cobra role and then a loop-and then it does it in reverse(search 'zoomerang')

  • yeah i kno

    ull back the station 125 foot verticle life..

    release go through station clockin like 58mph go into cobra roll then loop....

    go up other hill and do it all in reverse...

    YOUR EXACTLY RIGHTTT!!!! :)

  • my band was there that day

  • Wow, great camera control, normally everybody shakes the camera around so much its not even worth it!

    Respect!

    And in your tags, you put in "Paramount's Carowinds" Isn't this owned by Cedarfair now?

  • Hello WrathOfFlame: Thank You For Your Comment :) This Year I Have Been Soooooo Busy With Other Project's I Didn't Even Get To Go To Any Parks :( I'm Hoping To Have A Free Weekend Soon So I Can Go Back To Six Flags In New Jersey :)

  • How can you not drop the camera lol

  • Hello kittykittyMEOW54: Thank You For Your Comment/Question :) I Have Been Videotaping For A Very Loooong Time And After A While Of Taping, You Just Get Use To It :)

  • There is a Vortex at Kings Island...yes...but this one is a stand-up versrion (like King Cobra) at Carowinds.

  • I remeber riding the vortex at Kings Island for the 1st time.

  • the cable lift sounds cool

  • heya i like top gun

  • isnt the vortex at kings island cause i went there and there was a vortex it had so many flips and it went to fast so i didnt go on it but i went on the BEAST

  • Hello joiscoolio15: Thank You For Your Comment/Question :) No This/Vortex Is Located At Carowinds In North/South CArolina :)

  • o ok thnx

  • nice ride dude!

  • Hello toyuupp: Thank You For Your Comment :)

  • it would hurt if u were on the seats when they lift up all the way

  • this ride is fun, but nothing special

  • Is this ride smooth? I am trying to decide which to ride first, because I have never rode an upside down rollercoaster.

  • Try american scream machine first . It's 360o degrees upside down loop .

  • it depends on how high u set the seat, if yo put it real low you can just sit on the lil bycicle seat if you want and ur tall.

    But i dont see why u would want to anyways, it kinda defeats the fun of the stand up rollercoaster

  • don't you have to stand up?

  • Hello Knedisneyproduction: Thank You For Your Question :)  Yes, You Do Stand Up On This Ride ,,,With A Bike Seat Underneath You.

  • Is this on NJ? I don't remember it.

  • Hello JoInChains: Thank You For Your Question :) No,This Is Located At Carowinds (North/South Carolina)..But In 1990 Six Flags Great Adventure Located In New Jersey Did Open Up A Stand Up Coaster Called "Shockwave" And Then Closed In 1992 :(

  • idk i think

  • I rode this the year it open, I just met the height and ran up those steps at the last second to ride with my aunt and cousins. Never have looked back since!

  • Hello C3H2P8: Thank You For Your Comment :)

  • wow this ride looks amazing !! i mean it isn't waaaay too hard but neither easy. it's perfect !!! and it goes reaaally fast. is this at six flags great adventure?

  • No this ride is the Vortex at Paramounts carowinds in Charlotte N.C. and I'm goin next month WOOT WOOT =D

  • oh, thanks ! usually sixflgs15 has got videos of roller coasters from six flags great adventure .

  • Hello loveyunakim: Thank You For Your Comment/Question :) In 1990 Six Flags Great Adventure Opened A Stand Up Rolle Coaster Called "Shockwave"  Then In 1992 It Was Taken Down,,,I Never Understood SFGA Why They Took Shockwave Down,There Was No Problem At All With Shockwave :(

  • OOP's I Meant Stand Up Roller Coster Not Rolle Coaster LOL

  • thank you :)

  • Wooow! Awesome Im so going on that.

  • my fav ride

  • cool because they hurt my balls checking the seat

  • i cant remember does the worker have to check your seat does it hurt you balls??

  • Hello tecotac2: Thank You For Your Comment/Question :) Yes, The Worker Check's Your Seat,,,But You Need To Squat Down Just A Little When The Worker Checks ...That Away It Won't Hurt During The Ride :)

  • is this a good first time loop coaster thing?

  • Hello skihero45: Thank You For Your Question :) I'd Say Yes,The Only Difference Is You Will Be Standing Up :)

  • This is the first coaster I ever went on, and I loved it. Top Gun (apparently it's called afterburn or something now...) is also good for a first loop coaster. :]

  • omg!! i lobe that ride!! cept my fave is drop zone or tower...wat ev da new name is. but i go to carowinds like every day cuz i liv soo close!

  • i cant remember, is this the ride that hurts your balls?

  • Hello 0826jesse:Thank You For Your LOL Funny Comment/Question......The Key To Avoid Your Bal*s From Hurting Is To Squad Down A Little When The Worker Comes By To Lock/Check :)

  • the vortex at kings island is better

  • THE 1ST DROP DROPZ MII STOMACH!!!

  • Hello JesieRocetes57: Thank You For Your Question :) Actually The Same, Except That Your Just Standing Up :)

  • wow this ride gets alittle to close to the ground for ke lol !

  • a stand up coaster? intersting

  • n is that u at the end

  • where is this coaster

  • Vortex at Carowinds: 50

    Vortex at Canada's Wonderland: 55

    dizzy8izzy is right.

  • the vortex at wonderland is way faster and in my opinon better

  • won't your legs give out when going upside down ?

  • No, The G forces pretty much keep your legs clamped down.

  • does this ride hurt?

  • Hello climber41456: Thank You For Your Question :) No , This Ride Does Not Hurt At All :)

  • do u sit on a horse sattle?

  • Hello climber41456: Thank You For Your Question :) Actually It's Like A Large Bike Seat Design,,,,But They Adjust The Seat Up & Down To Your Comfort :)

  • where is this i go to great adventure every weekend nd i have never see this it looks fun i want to go on it

  • Hello ur2dum2no: Thank You For Your Question :) This Coaster Is Located At North & South Carolina's Carowinds

  • Hello yoyokid22: Thank You For Your Question:) Truthfully You Really Can't Compare Medusa & Vortex...Because Vortex Is A Stand-Up Coaster. But I Do Like Stand-Up Coasters :)

  • sixflgs15, in your opinion, is this a good coaster 4 someone that wants to go upside down 4 the first time.

  • Hello skihero45Thank You For Your Question/Opinion :) I would Have To Say Yes....Because There Is Only 1 Loop & 1 Corkscrew :)

  • is this in the new jersey six flags?

  • Hello Dimplz7: Thank You For Your Question :) Answer: No, This Ride Is Locaded At Carowinds ......But In The Early 90's Six Flags In New Jersey Did Have One Simular One To This...It Was Called Shockwave. :)

  • Hmm Can anyone help me with a problem I have with rollercoasters? I get motion sickness when i ride them but...I want to ride them so bad without getting sick..I have tried all the medications for Motion sickness but they dont work. All they do is make you really tired. Anybody have any ideas so when my family goes t ocarowinds this summer I can ride something without lying down sick in the parking lot green as a cucumber plz or sitting there watching everyone else have fun.

  • Eat a ginger sucking candy, it will calm your stomach down, they also work for sea sickness. You can buy them at any local store. Pretzels also work well!

  • THANKS!!!! =)
