Vortex is a Thrill ride.
Round and round swinging side to side!

One of Thorpe Parks greatest rides, and has become an instant classic since its debut
in 2001, Vortex will spin your world around!

Sitting in 8 sets of 4 seats in a circle, you are swung from side to side upto 60 feet in the
air, but if thats not enough, the the ride rotates while its swinging, creating a real
different experience.

With your legs dangling, the floor lowers, and the ride moves into its own world, and
although swinging from side to side may not look much, once your on this you'll see what
all the hype is about.

Vortex will always remain popular, mainly due to its size and status in the park, and even
with the simular Rush, Vortex will remain an already classic.
