The train next travels in another left turnaround through its loop. The train then travels to the other end of its layout into another turnaround after which it enters the corkscrew element and lastly into the final brake run. The course used to cross over the park train&#8217;s railroad tracks by the corkscrew. The coaster&#8217;s lift hill stands parallel to the footers of the former Tidal Wave looping shuttle coaster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jXlsRTS_hFQ\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>More info:<\/strong><br>* <a href=\"http:\/\/rcdb.com\/79.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/rcdb.com\/79.htm<\/a><br>* <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Vortex_(California%27s_Great_America)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Vortex_(California%27s_Great_America)<\/a><br>* <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cagreatamerica.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.cagreatamerica.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vortex is a stand-up roller coaster at California&#8217;s Great America.
