I've been banging that drum for a couple years now. Storm's maintenance traditionally happens in February.

Yep. And I raised Storm’s maintenance window specifically with a VTP executive once who advised that it couldn’t be shifted from its late summer window each year due to manufacturers requirements around timing. 
 

🤷‍♂️🤷🏼🤦

But it’s only being held in place by a chain

Yes your right! 

Sarcasm aside, im sure there is more than just a chain... An rpeq engineer would have done a structural assessment and sign off considering this themed element is over the travel path of an attraction.

I’d say some trigger happy safety fun police has decided it needs a secondary safety and can’t just be on its shaft (which would have been engineered in the first place).

 

This is the future of theming in Australia folks. The balance of logic in this country has gone towards extra safety to the point of even if it impacts on show. We’ll never have theme parks with the level of show immersion as overseas again as a result of this. You’ll never justify hiding an exit sign as it distrusts the theming or having an authentic prop like this again. That’s just the way it’s going to be. And the over engineering and safety analysis will add so much to the cost of doing anything less money will be available for theming. 
 

This is just the reality in Australia now, past incidents have forced the governments hand and we just have to live with that as sad as it is.

Jet Rescue Coaster has been extended to the 24th of October, I hope vortex opens before then

Seems highly unlikely. 
VTP has already said it won’t/can’t open until they can get the ride manufacturers out from Germany, which in current COVID regulations is impossible. Even once they arrive, it’s still a 5-6 week testing period. 
 

summer holidays would be the earliest opening imo... and even that may be fanciful..
