While this addition does not really affect me too much, I'll be glad to check it out once or twice! I like these kinds of things, and its great that KI is putting in an educational aspect to the park! Like I said, it doesn't really appeal to me and other thrill-seekers all too much, but it'll be great for families, young kids, and people who don't like riding. Great, great idea on KI's part.
As for all you whiners - Do you REALLY think that with the addition of WindSeeker, it'd be another major attraction? Let's get real. And also, think about the economics involved in running an amusement park, (as Gibson said) it's not just about appealing to the thrill-seekers, they need to attract families as well.
Now as for the upcharge...
