Vortex, Steel roller coaster in Canada's Wonderland, Ontario, Canada
The suspended roller coaster spans 2,361 feet of track with trains swinging beneath, incorporating natural terrain features and sweeping turns over a river.
Arrow Dynamics manufactured this steel roller coaster, which marked its debut at Canada's Wonderland on May 12, 1991 as one of the park's first expansions.
The Vortex roller coaster represents a notable advancement in Canadian amusement park engineering, demonstrating the evolution of thrill ride technology in North America.
Riders must reach a minimum height of 122 centimeters to experience the 91-foot-tall coaster, which operates with two trains carrying 24 passengers each.
