One of the best rides at the park. I thought it was incredibly fast until i went to Cedar Point and hit their latest rides.

My 3rd-place favourite coaster in the park. I also highly recommend a front seat ride on Vortex. In the front, you will have fun without any head-banging on the restraints. Best time to go on Vortex is when the park first opens at 10 am. Wait behind the security rope beside the Thunder Run before 10 am. That is the closest security rope to Vortex.
Enjoy your ride on Vortex, Canada's only suspended coaster.

Good ride. Lines are usually long but it's worth the wait.

Wow, this ride is the best in the park. Kind of short, but the turns over the water, and the placement over the mountain is excellent.

One of the best coasters in Canada! The front on this one is the most powerful and intense.

This ride is probably too good to be at PCW. The lines look long, but its fast-moving. I also thought it was fast until i went to CP....this is still good though

IMO the best susspended coaster to be built, fits in well with its surroundings goes fast and is an allaround enjoyable ride, the finale brakes are fun aswell becuase your cart swings, i would chose to ride vortex over iorn dragon at CP any day and this is the only ride i think wonderland has done better then cedar point.

This seriously is the best coaster at the park. I'm glad this was a custom one unlike PKIs where it's just the same thing ploped down on a boring piece of land.

I love swinging around over the mountain and over the water. Great forces but sometimes it can be jerky in a few places. That shouldn't stop anyone from riding!

Used to be smooth as glass, now it gives the most uncomfortable vibration EVER.
