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:

    Only the desert has a fascination—to ride alone—in the sun in the forever unpossessed country—away from man. That is a great temptation.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    An illustrious individual remarks that Mrs. [Elizabeth Cady] Stanton is the salt, Anna Dickinson the pepper, and Miss [Susan B.] Anthony the vinegar of the Female Suffrage movement. The very elements get the “white male” into a nice pickle.
