Bond tried the Demon at Six Flags Great America earlier in the season and kind of liked looping but wasn't so sure about it.  When we hit Six Flags St. Louis three days before our Kinds Island visit he tried Ninja with me and decided that he really loved looping so he was really craving The Vortex as soon as he saw it.



Back in the late 1980's Arrow was the company if you wanted a steel coaster and they had a string of taller and taller multi-loopers.  Vortex is one of the first in a string of Arrow's tallest looping coasters that was followed by Shock Wave at Six Flags Great America, Great American Scream Machine at Six Flags Great Adventure and Viper at Six Flags Magic Mountain. 



Viper wasn't the tallest nor did it have the most loops but I like it considerably more than the others.



Bond howled through all of Vortex's six loops and then wanted it all again.
