Vortex – Paramount’s Great America
Not exactly sure on the date of this pic, but I’m sure it was still the summer of 2005 and I know it was the second photo in our collection.
I took Zaira to Paramount’s Great America for the day. It was our first outing entirely on our own. The Vortex has always been one of my favorite rides at Great America and it’s relatively near the front gate, so I recommended it for our first ride. It wasn’t until we were walking down the exit ramp that Zaira informed me that not only was this her first stand up coaster, but also that it was the first time she’d ever gone upside down on a coaster. Purchasing the photo was a no-brainer at that point.
As a side note, I received all kinds of grief from Z’s mother about my “stealing” her first inversion. Oops…
