"Vortex at California's Great America is a slightly shorter version of the one at Carowinds. This was Bolliger & Mabillard 's 2nd coaster after Iron Wolf at Six Flags Great America and officially opened on March 9, 1991. It is also a stand-up roller coaster. There has been some painful headbanging on the ride." (visit link)
