The Vortex Roller Coaster at Paramount's Kings Island, Kings Mills, Ohio

Yes I took a lot of photos of the Vortex but it is just so photogenic.

Discussing rumors like coaster enthusiasts do when we all get together the word was going around that The Vortex's years are numbered. I can't see it because it has been kept in fantastic shape and there's always people getting in line to give it a ride.

By the end of the day all of us were wearing down waiting for the final rides of the season on The Beast. I didn't know it but its tradition for all of the enthusiasts to wait around for the park to clear out on the last day of the season so that the park can give us a mini exclusive ride time to end our season on The Beast at its best...in the dark.

Here is Bond's second picture for this update. He's got a pretty good eye. Well at least when I go he can take over Negative-G for me.

As night rolled in we all headed past the Happy Day's Diner which looks gorgeous at night on our way to The Beast. Today was just what I needed, a fun day with my son and great friends with a few coasters and other rides mixed in. Thanks to both of The Daves for inviting Bond and I and thanks to everyone we ran into and everyone at Paramount's Kings Island for a memorable end to my 2005 season.
