Not even close. The ride was well-liked, and that’s why the coaster that originally opened as Top Gun was later given the name as a homage. The problem was that there were several design flaws that proved to be too costly for the park to continue operating the ride, and revamping the entire ride would be costly as well, not to mention not worth the risk with how problematic the ride was already proving to be.

Ironically, I wouldn’t be surprised if Vortex is also closing because it would be too costly to renovate and fix the bumpiness of the ride.
