Vortex Removal Updates

Several things:

1. I wish the park would take a few seconds off of Orion to focus on Vortex demo. Like a few pictures or a video or something.

2. I think they are going to take out all the rides elements before they demo the lift hill.

One more thing.....Does anyone think that then original Bats footers will be removed in the process?

    It's all over with now. All we have remaining are the memories. Farewell and Godspeed Vortex. (via WeatherBug)

  • Truth. I wouldn’t say I’ve enjoyed seeing this coaster go down, but there is a closure that comes with it for me. While I’m sure better angled and more dramatic pictures will emerge from within the pa

    Can we quit with the whole “Kings Island owes us an explanation” B.S.? It’s starting to get annoying and making the rest of the coaster enthusiast community look like spoiled brats. Sheesh!     S

Just a tip for watching Vortex demolition: If you right click on the Kings Island logo and hit "Inspect Element", you can remove the logo and give yourself a better view of the batwing area through the Diamondback webcam.

On the camera or the website?

Directly on the logo. When you do that, it should highlight the logo in the code. From there, just right click and select delete element.

The batwing is half gone. The approach to the batwing also gone. 

Can't really see but no other movement at this time.

There has been a few trucks pulled up to DB.  Work being done still?

I don't know what you guys are seeing (yes, I did the logo removal).  I see the batwing still intact.  The brake run and helix are gone though. 

At least, at the time of this post.  

It may just be my screen but I can't see the approach to The Bat wing. Looks like a gap there but maybe its a tree.

I see that half of the batwing is gone.

I see they started again removing metal near the approach to the batwing.

While it is sad to see the queue building go this certainly gives them opportunity to widen the path between Autos and WindSeeker and keep it from being such a bottleneck.

Honestly in my view the batwing looks like its completely gone. idk.

I must be the vast minority but Im glad they removed the station. I hate when they remove rides and keep a station for an attraction that's used for 2 months of the year (i.e. SoB). That being said, it is sad to see it go.

Idk, It looks like I see the top of it still. But maybe it's just the ground.

I go back and forth with it. One moment it looks gone and the next I see it. I think you are right. I see it at the moment lol

To me it looks like the right side of the batwing is gone but the left side is definitely still there

Well that was fast, guess deconstruction is kicking into high gear

I still see the Batwing.

Here is a side by side with two weeks ago.  It's definitely hard to see, but the batwing definitely looks like it is still there.  The entry and exit to the batwing may be gone though.

I think parts of the batwing are still there.  They have stopped work for the moment. KI probs found out we can see and are on the way to move cam lol

At this moment the batwing looks full intact. I think they ripped out the helix and are cleaning up the mess as they go.

Agreed the cam cleared up a little bit and you can see the whole batwing now. 

I think they are at lunch. We may see some very sad things later this afternoon.

Wow, this is hitting me harder than I've thought it would.

Sorry if I done this wrong. Good thing about 38” hd cpu monitor. You can really zoom in

 

The batwing is most definitely gone. There is one little crane in there. Is for sure causing havoc
