Amanda134 Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I've only rode it twice. I enjoyed it. I was with a few friends and they were scared to death in the line, which I found funny cause I used to be the one scared. It wasn't really "thrilling" though. Wayyy better at night though.

coaster_junky Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 last friday i finally got to ride it for the first time. so only once for me, but it was a great ride i loved the views of the park, filled with fog, at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingsislandfan1972 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 I'd say I've been riding WindSeeker a lot since last season at both KI and CP. Honestly I'm more of a fan of CP because of the beach view but overall I l like riding it night which now has roughly been around 10 times since the 2010s I believe.

VortexBFForever Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 I have counted 664 lifetime rides on WindSeeker since my first flight on June 30, 2011. I actually discovered my favorite movie trilogy, How To Train Your Dragon, by riding WindSeeker! While not the most thrilling ride, WindSeeker has always held a place in my heart ever since I operated it alongside Vortex from 2017-2019. I hope to eventually ride all the WindSeekers. So far I have also ridden Cedar Point's and SteelHawk at Worlds of Fun. I've seen in person the ones at Dominion and Carowinds, albeit closed due to either staffing or high winds, and I still have not visited Wonderland. Hopefully that changes within the next few years!

Orion-XL200 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 I don't have an exact number but I guess it's probably in the high 90s or low 100s. I've been on each of the operating WindSeeker rides and my favorite probably would have to be Cedar Point's because of the view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark6495 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 0….. something about being high up means i will probably never ride this one. Glad so many of you enjoy it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJSkyFoxx Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Not as much as some, but definitely more than others. It's a good ride on a hot day. The breeze always feels excellent and I enjoy the views these rides give. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoan Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 I rode one time because my wife asked. I kept my eye closed the entire way up. Peeked once at the very top then shut them immediately again until the ride stopped. Never again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPONGEBOB_FAN_97 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 WindSeeker is the best flat in the park, it’s a premium experience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbeast Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 I'll ride a 500 ft. coaster that goes 200mph any day, but Ferris wheels, skyrides and WindSeeker just make me weary for some reason. Weird! I'm ok with heights as long as I feel like it's more of a controlled atmosphere. Being on a coaster for some reason doesn't bother me at all. I love being 300 plus on a coaster. But put me up 300 feet in a little chair with a long thin arm holding me up there...no thanks! Not sure if I will ever ride it. I know it's safe, but my inner self still says no way! Skyrides and Ferris wheels are the same, but I can ride them apprehensively. I don't exactly relish the experience though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion-XL200 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 I enjoy WindSeeker....it's a better experience than some of the standard flats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeastFarmer Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 My fear of spreading my protein over a radius or ending up in first aid is my framework for not riding. Whatever Kentucky Kingdom's version of WindSeeker is put an end to my day at the park. I left and had to take to a dark, cold AC bed at a relative's home in Louisville:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cedar Fair Fanboy Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Whenever WindSeeker is operating and during the heat, I'll always ride it to get nice breeze flowing through my face and great views around. The same goes for the Star Flyer models from Funtimes. (I'm hoping that I can go to RiverSide Park or Over Texas and ride on the 400 ft model.

Diamondback_Is_King Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Only ridden this once. I would only ride it for the views. Other than that, didn't wow me too much. I would much rather ride Shake, Rattle, and Roll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver2005 Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 I always try to ride it once per visit, so my ride count is probably in the dozens. Of the 4 I've ridden (KI, CP, Carowinds, KD), I'd go with CP's being my favorite with Lake Erie in view, though that one is also the least likely to be running due to the winds.

Once during a random summer trip a year ago and once during the Haunt two years ago. The Haunt ride on WindSeeker was amazing and I love how you can see the whole park covered in smoke and the lights flickering with scare monsters below. On a separate thought, I actually really do enjoy the Haunt, but not necessarily for the scariness and creepy sets. I like the smoke/fog, different lighting patterns through different areas, and of course the eyes on the Eiffel Tower! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Losantiville Mining Co. Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 I think I've ridden WindSeeker two or three times. It's fun and I like getting the views of the park, but I think I'd like to slim down a little before I think about riding it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klabergian Empire Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 I ride WindSeeker when I go (if its open) at least once or twice. I really enjoy the view from up there and it helps me gauge how long the line is for The Beast from afar. If I had to guess, I would say I've ridden, in total, about 30+ times. My favorite WindSeeker is at Cedar Point. The views from the top are breathtaking considering the location/views and its proximity to the shoreline on Lake Erie.

Bansheelover Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 I have rode it 20 times. I enjoy the ride, but a lot of my friends don’t like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
