Vortex - Thorpe Park

The ride is of a reasonable capacity, and queues normally are comfortable. Watching the ride, I was almost hypnotised by the speed of each swing. Fortunately, each swing is not accompanied by a whirlpool of spinning, more a gentle rotation, an aspect that really helped keep me calm during the queue.

Loading of the ride is a bit too slow for my liking. It isn't until the last person has left the platform before the gate is thrust open. It seems an annoying trait for people to sit down, comfortably, BEFORE realising that their shoes may be flung into central London and then spending all the time in the world removing the offending articles only to be told to put them back on again.Vortex is a very timely addition. With Colossus, thrill seekers require more than a single coaster (however good), and Vortex suits this bill to a tee and further enforces the fact that Thorpe Park is beginning to trounce any local competition what so ever.

Thank you for watching Sanbrooke Productions.
