Arrow coasters are my #1.  GASM was my first arrow and my favorite coaster when I first started riding.  It broke my heart to see my favorite coaster die.  I didn't get to ride another till vortex last year.  It is truly the perfect coaster.  It has airtime, intensity, hang time, and it's honestly not bumpy, especially for an arrow.  I worry about how long the coaster has left though.  Last year somehow I got to go on a personal backstage tour with Mr. Jeff Gramke of the parks management.  I asked him how long he thought the coaster had left.  He said it has awhile as the steel is holding up wonderfully for its age.  I just hope it lasts long enough for me to get back there. VORTEX #1
