DaveStroem Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 While I am not excited for the ride, I will ride it when we go to KI opening weekend (hopefully they don't do a sell out of the park on the first Sunday like this year ). I was quite surprised that KI got a new attraction at all. So in that respect, I can't be disappointed either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdawg1998 Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I am honestly afraid to ride this. Drop Tower scares the crap out of me already. Now, this, staying up 300 feet in the air for almost a minute. Eek! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I am excited to ride for the sheer fact that it is 300 feet in the air, that's very high to be sitting in a little swing carriage. Will it be my first ride, probably not, but will I ride it opening day, most definitely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast79 Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I'm excited, KI was in the need for another flat ride. I'm also just glad that they are getting something new al1 together, I guess I'm just me well rounded and open minded then some. I love the full park experience, from hard park to water park riding anything big and small! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Unfortunately, I say, unfortunately, I get quite ill going around in a circle. Zephyr goes 8mph and I throw up. WS goes 30mph. I will enjoy watching this new ride - and believe me, I really will enjoy watching - I get a kick out of this kind of stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XGatorHead 8904 Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 My votes: I'm excited, I will try to ride it opening day (or the first day it's open to the public), and I'm just happy to be getting a new ride. I've never ridden a Screamin' Swing, but I know where I can about 4 hours away from here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkroz Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 And really, a Screamin' Swing is the ultimate example of why WindSeeker's doubters will soon be silenced. "So, it's just a giant swingset? It's exactly like what I have in my backyard, but taller? What's the thrill?" Ha! Those are the ones screaming and laughing their heads off once the ride is in motion! I'm also reminded of some roller coaster at Cedar Point which was panned by enthusiasts before the supports even went up. What was the point? After all, it didn't break any records! It wasn't even 100 feet tall, only went upside down twice, and hit a max speed of 70 miles per hour... Most of those doubters see der point now! GYK, trying (in vain) to pull a Terpy.

coaster_junky Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 ^and then there were those enthusiasts who were pumped for the ride, followed the construction from day one, and more. then were seriously let down by the ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KIfan73 Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Are there rides already installed in other parks similar in design and size to WindSeeker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 In design AND size? No. At least that is what Cedar Fair and Mondial would say.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
