A very nice stand up coaster. Pulls some wonderfull G forces on the helixes. Its starting to get a little rough though.

horrible horrible ride. not even near quality. i hated it, it was rough, and it stunk. no great elements on it either, Iron Wolf at SFGAm was WAY better than it. by far the worst B&M out there.

Bland and painful. Its got the older style B&M stand up rolling stock so its to be expected that comfort wasnt very important at the time. But even if the seats arent comfortable the ride could be. The loop is smooth and thats about it. I had a headache the rest of the day cause of this ride, and I like B&Ms. Ill take the Georgia Scorcher ANY day over Vortex.

A surprisingly fun ride. I had heard it was rough and was one of the lesser stand-ups, but it was a pretty good ride---even better than the Georgia Scorcher. But keep in mind, this review is coming from someone who likes TOGO stand-ups.

After a long wait, I had an awesome ride in the front seat of this one. The loop is fairly big and pulls alot of Gs. But man, if B&M could have only capitolized after the loop, it would be great. It is very short, but whatever. Fun helixes also, lame corkscrew.

Probably my least favorite B&M coaster. The restraints are not comfortabl at all. The drop is not very good. The loop and the corkscrew are good but thats about it. A dissapointment.

This ride is great, it was my first standup and it is great fun. I like this ride in every way except the corkscrew has a nasty snap to it. It is definately worth its wait.

Not my favorite coaster in the park. BUT on the other hand I guess its fun to ride older steel coasters like this one so you can see how far steel coasters have come. The loops are cool and its worth riding.
