Vortex, Steel roller coaster in Rocky View County, Canada.
The Vortex roller coaster features two complete laps around the track, incorporating sharp turns and vertical drops in its green and purple structure.
The attraction opened in 1982 under the name Turn of the Century, later changed to Corkscrew in 1986, before receiving its current name in 2005.
The ride represents a central element of summer entertainment at Calaway Park, drawing visitors from across Alberta seeking speed-based experiences.
Visitors need to measure at least 48 inches in height to access the ride, which operates according to Calaway Park's seasonal schedule.
The coaster train maintains its pink color scheme since 2004, creating a distinct visual contrast against the green and purple track structure.
