NegativeGs 80 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Anyone notice something different about WindSeeker today? I observed several times from a distance that the ride slowly stopped rotating once at maximum elevation. After a few minutes, the ride then descended very slowly. Exiting riders appeared uncomfortable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And at 300 feet up, riders can be scared without violating social distancing 1 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VortexJD 51 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 I thought it was odd seeing WindSeeker at the top and not spinning around noon, but we weren't in the park yet so I didn't get to see if people were on it. We rode it a few hours later and don't remember anything else odd about it then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gforce1994 2524 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 I rode it at 4:02 and got stuck on it for a bit. It was an interesting experience. The ride would raise vertically, and rotate normally, but when it came time to descend, it just stopped rotating on cue. Everyone on the ride thought KI’s staff did an exceptional job dealing with the situation. In all, the ride is built to deal with these situations, so there’s nothing to be concerned about.

DeltaFlyer 840 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 The ride ran test cycles all day today, with water dummies in every other row. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bjcolglazier 1425 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Hilarious to me they were actual 'dummies". It was very cold and a bit wet early today. I was at the top of Banshee line and saw WindSeeker running. It looked every-other-full, and I was thinking, "nope, not today". I never got close enough to realize they were just testing.

VortexBFForever 12737 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 I like to say that this is WindSeeker's taking its first fall without Vortex extra hard. After all, WindSeeker was paired with Vortex from its debut all the way through last year. Also, I was one of the lucky ones. It was cold, but the view was excellent. 10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
