Could not agree more!

There is a CoasterBuzz and GOCC event at the park that day! http://gocc.coasternewsnetwork.com/holidayworld2010draft.pdf

Not trying to offend anyone here on this post, but while fixing the PM's can we update the main page links so things are not referencing New for 2007- Firehawk, Operational Calendar for 2007, 2007 park map and so on. With the press KIC has received lately it would be nice if we kept our data current and accurate to prove we are an actual KI enthusiast site and passionate about the park we love!

Kinzel interview back in 2007. They talk about KI starting at about 4:24. He did not seem to excited about the ride then either.

Yeah, I don't have his #, but I did just text Robbie about issue. Hopefully he can contact him.

Funny, but if replaced with new ride I doubt that "Beast" will be any where near the new name!

I was on the break run on DB yesterday: Guy behind me talking to his buddy about splashdown, "I almost could reach the water, your arms are longer than mine I bet you can actually reach the water with your arms." (Me: Shaking my head, while I am about to reach for my phone to call Mr. Obvious.) Ridding The Beast and guy behind me talking to his ride partner. "They took the loop out of SOB, because the loop was the mayor problem with the coaster." (I had to bite my tough hard on this one, for I don't like to insert myself into other's conversations.) Ridding AE with CoastersRZ and Tom764534 in front car of the train. As we are leaving the station this crazy guy, (me) screams, It's an all KIC train! (We were the only ones ridding.)

See my comments here? Still does not rule this area out though! Pics and angles could be off! http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=22587&view=findpost&p=400682

I don't think this image supports that idea unless it is wrong. It appears that WindSeeker is to the left of the Exit and lift hill?

My biggest draw to the WS is the double seats and no chain supports. I think this will make for a nice smooth ride and longer life cycle. Seems like the better investment to me! Thanks KI, Can't wait to ride!

Very nice thoughts Jackson. I could not agree more. I was not expecting anything for 2011, so what a nice surprise. To want a coaster is one thing, but to be expecting a coaster that is being unrealistic, for next season anyway. Glad we are getting a nice cool ride for 2011. I will be in line for my 2011 season pass in a few weeks!

It will be interesting to see if they reuse that same queue or tear it down and put up the canopies they have been using? Although, using the existing queue you just need some paint and queue rails. Might have money left over to paint a few other rides in CM!

I was calculating hourly capacity per the KI site Capacity 1,280 per hour So, for 64 Riders at a time it would take 20 Cycle's in an hour to make the capacity of 1,280. If each ride cycle is 3 minutes, and it takes 20 cycles to get to the capacity that eats up 60 minutes. This is just ride time only! Do they not calculate unload/reload times when giving these capacities? Last question I have for now, is do you think this ride will have a single rider line? Since it has dual seats, I think it would make sense for a SRL to maximize capacity.

Yes it does. I am very excited about the new addition, I really was not expecting a new addition at all for next season. For those that wanted a coaster, I would have liked that as well, but knew that would be an unreasonable expectation of mine.

I think Action Zone was just not part of the concept video at all, I don't think there is a hidden meaning there, but that is just me!

KI announces Wind Seeker at 301'

That stinks I got the opposite....

I have audio with this white circle on the screen?

Same here, started talking about this link and audio only here. http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=22577&view=findpost&p=400459 Some say they think video will start at 2 pm? I hope so!

I just got on and have audio but no video yet. Anyone else see/hear anything yet?
