Ride details

Vortex

KMG Afterburner in Lost City die riders met 15 rotaties per minuut tot 65 ft door de lucht slingert.

Vortex combineert twee bewegingen die elkaar blijven versterken: de arm slingert hoog heen en weer, terwijl de zitcirkel blijft roteren. Daardoor wisselen uitzicht, richting en kracht voortdurend. Het is geen lange rit, maar wel een compacte Lost City-thrill waarin hoogte, draaien en pendelen tegelijk binnenkomen.

Vortex past bij Lost City als mechanische storm: een pendel die niet alleen zwaait, maar ook voortdurend om zijn eigen middelpunt draait.

Typical wait time: around 15 min.

It usually falls between 5 min and 25 min.

See more than 25 min? It is probably busier than usual — consider a quieter moment.

Less than 5 min? You are in luck: that does not happen often.
