Vortex (California's Great America) - Ride Elements

Ride Elements

  • Loop
  • Corkscrew

The coaster makes a left handed first drop into its first loop then executes a left turnaround. The train next travels in another left turnaround through its loop. The train then travels to the other far end of its layout into another turnaround after which it enters the corkscrew element and finally into the final brake run. The course used to cross over the park train's railroad tracks by the corkscrew. The coaster's lift hill stands parallel to the footers of the former Tidal Wave looping shuttle coaster.

Famous quotes containing the words ride and/or elements:

    Speak, ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit in judgment, and walk by the way.
    They that are delivered from the noise of archers in the places of
    drawing water, there shall they rehearse the righteous acts of the
    Lord,
    Bible: Hebrew Judges (l. V, 10–11)

    The popularity of that baby-faced boy, who possessed not even the elements of a good actor, was a hallucination in the public mind, and a disgrace to our theatrical history.
    Thomas Campbell (1777–1844)
