VortexRoller coasterMinimum height to ride: 54 inches About VortexVortex, when it debuted in March of 1992 was one of the first stand-up coasters in the United States. Containing a large vertical loop with two fast helixes and one corkscrew, the speedy ride continues to be a popular B&M coaster. Though Vortex is the most "popular" to break down in Carowinds, its still the fastest steel coster built before 1995 in Carowinds, were Afterburn is the Fastest. -- Last edited by Logan Bowlby [Update this description | Read previous versions] Photos from VortexSafety
Readers' Opinions
It has lived its run...many complain about how rough it is and how painful the restraints are. Also a VERY short ride. A good floorless coaster would be nice in its place - SC Todbear this ride is awesome but its not untill after the loop do you get to feel the speed - Brandon ................ It's fun but it's also bumpy. Not quite as bad as some wooden coasters but still bumpy. Also the bicycle type seat is a little uncomfy. I still love it though. - Amelia Jackson My butt hurts when i get off. - scooby doobydoo this ride is so fun and kinda fast - Drew Walters
