To clarify Raptor...

 

Raptor rules the sky! "Excuse me while I kiss the sky..." is from Jimi Hendrix's song purple haze, which is one of the best songs ever recorded...

 

I was going by the "motto" on Raptor's Page at CP.com, which says "Excuse me while I KICK the sky."

 

Then again, Raptor does rule the sky! (and I think they use that too)

w00t!

Vortex at Kings Island:

 

"Feel the Grip of Vortex"

 

They also sold buttons that said "I felt the grip".

 

If you have not seen the logo, it is a robotic hand gripping and twisting a section of coaster track, with a train about dive into the tangled mess. The hand itself is shiny chrome and has spikes on it.

 

To promote the opening (back in the spring of 1987), there was a TV commercial with a robotic hand (the one in the logo) and a weird taunting robotic laugh. Quite corny, but fun! At the time is seemed like a totally new way to theme a ride (as opposed to being named after an animal like Beast, Bat, King Cobra). It would have been neat to see a 3-D, 10 foot tall version of the logo near the ride entrance!

 

I will always remember this one because I was 13, and the Vortex was the coaster that forever got me into coasters. Not just the ride, but keeping track of construction (via newspaper) and the anticipation of opening day.
