Guest PizzaBaby027 Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 Rode WindSeeker 11 times in a row today, a great ride. Have ridden it a total of 13 time!?!?!? Quote
Dieseltech20 Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 Two times so far, one during the day and one at night. Quote
Snowman Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 Two. Once in the inside seat, once in the outside seat. That will probably be my final total. Quote
16gwoods Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 Rode it twice, wasn't too thrilling but i didn't expect it to be. The only thing that makes it slightly thrilling is the height of it. It would be better if you stayed at the top longer but that would probably make the wait longer. Quote
jcgoble3 Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 Once at Cedar Point and twice at KI. At KI, I had one daytime ride where I learned just how much space The Beast takes up (did you know that if you look down behind the Blue Racer turnaround, you can see The Beast's brake shed?) and one nighttime ride where I was one cycle too late to watch the fireworks from the top of the ride.

Jasper Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 Rode it once as it opened at 1 yesterday, we were the first cycle of the day. Really do not think I will ride it much more than that, the wait seemed long and the only time I will ride it is either during ERT or at night. If I ride it at night and do not ride The Beast at night it will be a miracle though. Quote
KI FANATIC 37 Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 0, . Plan to ride it sometime in July though. Quote
jdawg1998 Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 Once as of today. It was an alright ride. It was nice and relaxing, not very thrilling. The heights definitely scared me though! Quote
BavarianBeatle Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 Rode Cedar Point's once. A decent view, but an absolute yawner of a ride. Quote
Titan Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 I've rode the one at Cedar Point once. It was more of a time waster for me, as I only had 30 minutes until I was leaving. Quote
CoasterGeek101 Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 Only twice, I am waiting for the line to die down. Quote
Guest PizzaBaby027 Posted July 2, 2011 Posted July 2, 2011 I know it isn't a thrill ride but for those afraid of heights it is a big thrill, for me the first time riding it was a major thrill. I screamed, cried and cursed and then they began the ride and it was amazing, I was the last ride on the 30th!!!! I just love the ride, 13 times and counting!!! Quote
spitfire Posted July 2, 2011 Posted July 2, 2011 Haven't been on it yet, but am hoping it will be running when I go again in the next week or two. Quote
NyTrO Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 i havent rode but from what ive seen and heard its a kiddie ride in the sky -__- Quote
qscott86 Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 Honestly WindSeeker kind of reminds me of Flight Commander. I know Flight Commander didn't go that high and Flight Commander went upside down, but the way the arms look, it kind of resembles Flight Commander. Quote
Snowman Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 Off Topic: standbyme your references make the braincells in my head work way too hard! Well done. On Topic: 2 times, once outside seat, once inside seat. I'm not good with heights or spinning, so 2 is probably my final count. I hope everyone who likes WS has a blast everytime they get on it. Ask if you can wait for the front seat though, I heard it's the best one. Quote
Bennett Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 Finally was able to ride WindSeeker yesterday...was a bit late to open, though. Rode DB 4 times and Beast twice during ERT ... Now, I am absolutely petrified of heights. Coasters have always been fine, but...Bridges scare me, tall buildings I have no desire to creep to the edge. I thought about ducking out the 30 minutes we waited, but, my 12 year old daughter talked me thru it. Ride was fine until it started spinning. At that point, started praying to Jeebus. Eyes closed. The centripetal force that sends you to the 45 degree angle, for a guy afraid of heights was almost too much. Finally opened my eyes once at the top...what an awesome view. Once it started lowering, a sense of relief. Once off, thankful to be back on the ground. A fun ride, worth the 30 minute wait, but, not my favorite thing ever by a long shot. We did it again around 3pm, this time, knowing what to expect, was much easier for me to handle, though, still very frightening, but more in a fun way. Felt very safe the second time around. Did it a third time, got in line at 9:30. Made it up just in time to see the fireworks at 10pm for nearly the entire ride cycle...we were kind of bummed, as we thought we were going to be one cycle too early...but, a 350+ pounder wasted 4 minutes, and finally had to take the walk of shame, so, we won! FIreworks started about 3/4 of the way up, and lasted for the remainder of the ride. AWESOME!! Riding at night seems much more intense, as you lose your sense of where you are in a way. The fireworks made the ride for me. Will be a one time rider per visit from now on. Preferably by getting in line at 9:30 ish. Quote
beastrider97 Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 3 at CP and 3 at KI. I actually preferred KI's view. Most likely because it was closer to other rides than CP's. Quote
jdawg1998 Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 This is off topic but still about WindSeeker....but I would like to say today I loved the ride, because this is what they played while riding: How to Train Your Dragon is the best soundtrack ever made IMO, and I am SO happy KI used it!! Edit: I think it may have been this: Either way, still the best soundtrack ever.. Quote

A fun ride, worth the 30 minute wait, but, not my favorite thing ever by a long shot. i am just the opposite with my fear of heights. i was freaking out until it started spinning. once it started rotating, i focused on the horizontal landscape and did not look down. i have done Drop Tower a few times. i hate the ascent, but i love the drop.
