Ride Experience
Out of the station, the ride drops slightly and takes a hard right to the beginning of the lift hill. The slow ride to the top gives the guest a chance to look at the park and at the rest of the Vortex's structure on the right, and on the left the riders can catch a glimpse of the The Beast. Once the train reaches the peek, the train drops slightly to another sharp right hand turn into a 55 degree nosedive 138 ft down. The train then ascends into a left hand high banking turn, the track then flattens out as the rider prepares for the double vertical loop. The train then ascends into a high right turn fattening out and hitting the brakes just before descending into a double flying corkscrew. After the flying corkscrew the train makes a slight right hand turn and continues into a dive loop then passing by the on-ride camera then exiting in a immelmann loop (this maneuver can also be called the batwing). The final maneuver would be the a positive g-filled 450 degree upwards helix, then hitting the breaks to halt. Then another right hand turn into the station.

Famous quotes containing the words ride and/or experience:
“For you alone I ride the ring,
For you I wear the blue;
For you alone I strive to sing,
O tell me how to woo!”
—Robert Graham (1735–1797)
“Young men are as apt to think themselves wise enough, as drunken men are to think themselves sober enough. They look upon spirit to be a much better thing than experience, which they call coldness. They are but half mistaken; for though spirit without experience is dangerous, experience without spirit is languid and defective.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
