Over the last few weeks that Vortex was open, I made some audio recordings of different parts of the ride. There was quite a bit of background noise in many of them, so I did my best to filter it out. I also converted all the files over to Apple Ringtone format (.m4r) so that they can be used as text/ringtones. I love having the station bell as my default text tone. 

Includes: 

• Lift Ambient + Alternate
• Lift Ascension (in-car) + Alternate
• Lift Block Clear (bell)
• Train Stopped in C brakes (bell)
• Ready Brakes Opening
• Station Brakes + Alternate

Hope you enjoy!

I LOVE THEM!!!!!!

After hearing those sounds every day for three summers, next season will be so weird without them...but I’m thankful that they have been immortalized.

@DeltaFlyer, I had to request acess..... and I did.

This is great!  How did you get the audio so clean?

iPhone in my pocket wired to a cheap lav mic, used different placements to get the "alternates".

This is awesome- it is nice to have all these classic Vortex sounds archived. (I had a idea for a use for it in No Limits 1 but it didn't work like I'd hoped- I'll still enjoy just being able to listen to Vortex's sounds again)

Also I had heard that bell ringing noise dozens of times while in line for Vortex, and never realized until now it was for when a train had crested the lift hill or if 3 trains were stacked on the brake runs.

The three ring bell was only when a train was stopped at the C block brakes right before the corkscrews

Oh- oops. My bad- now that I think of it, I don't think I ever saw or heard Vortex stop there, so all I ever heard was the "Cleared Lift" bell.

@DeltaFlyer Could you make the document so people can view it but not be able to edit it? Since it is a google doc it should be able to.

That should be how it is set up already @Klabergian Empire

@DeltaFlyer Ok. Ive requested access.

Thank you for the helpful information you have shared.
