....Oh, darn! It just wouldn't be right if I did it!...

I like that it appears they are gonna put the pavers all the way back to the ride instead of that ugly concrete. I think i see a park of the red ride structure on the ground.

Has anyone seen a rendering for what the WindSeeker Plaza area will look like?

With a question like that you know you will get a response from you know who. lol

You mean you know whom, right?

Terp, always predictable, except when he ain't (where was it the devil went down to, anyway?)

Georgia! There is a song or something like that right?

Notice they are building the "roof" to the tower on the ground, before they lift it into place.

It was also a rainy night in...but that's another story. As for that devil, the daring soul took a dive...but that won't open for a while.

Oh, yes, plots...we were talking plots...or was it plats?

are you sure that's the "topper" they're constructing on the ground? i know i shouldn't go by it, but in the computer generated model of the ride, the red "topper" doesn't look like what they're constructing.

That's what I was thinking..I wonder what it is

Designs can change from animated video to final product.

I'd been wondering for a couple days now what that red capsule looking thing on the ground is! I guess I now know

As far as it maybe not being the topper....no, it's not exact when compared the renderings....but I think it does look very similar. The renderings could be wrong...or the design could've changed....or maybe they will cover it with sheet metal and it'll look more similar.

Edit: I posted too slowly

I believe the red thing is what will be placed at the top, they want to ride seats to be as high as possible, so they don't want to much on top. They want the guests to be up at about 290, so not to big of a topper! Which is pretty kewl, but the topper looks a tad weird but who am I to judge KI!

Anyone else find it amazing how the top of WS lines up perfectly with the horizon (on KI's second webcam)?

which is why i added, "i know i shouldn't go by it,..."

i know that designs are changed and so-fourth, but that seems like a very large change in design. a nearly solid topper that resembled a lighthouse's lantern to something that resembles a smaller version of the ride carriage?

this doesn't make any sense, what does being 290 feet in the air have to do with "not to big of a topper?" there will be a set limit for how close is too close when the ride is running at the top, no matter what size the topper is.

Looks like Cedar Point's WS is going up today

Does anyone know what the grey thing is that they are working on right now? I have no clue what it could be.

Its probably a support for the red thing, most likely a topper.

Yes, someone knows!

I believe it's the platform at the top of the ride. You can see the railing that's visible in the renderings.

Can't wait to go on the WindSeeker! Does it only spin around, or does it drop too?

welcome to KICentral!

it spins around at the top only, there isn't a free fall like on Drop Tower.

This video should help you understand how it operates. It does drop to let people off, just not the free fall rate of DT.

And it appears to be on its way up soon.

So did they just pour concrete or is that a sand base they put down for the pavers as the area leading up to WindSeeker?

From what I can tell, it appears that it is still sand, smoothed out presumably for the pavers. I'd assume that the pavers will be going in soon if that is indeed their plans.

That really looks like concrete.

That is concrete, I believe....

Pay close attention to it. Notice the deep lines and how some of them appear dusty? It is sand.

I don't really see them ripping out a bunch of Concrete just to install more, Concrete.

It looks like wet cement to me.

True, but I didn't see them ripping out freshly-poured concrete to add pavers, either. Weird.

I agree with you on that one, lol. The whole thing seems very strange to me.
