fanofFirehawk Posted November 24, 2012 Posted November 24, 2012 Nope, and even if I was there I doubt my cognitive memory would have processed any information given. Or in other words I was 1. If you were 1, then you probably weren't, uh costumed to Drop Zone. No I'm afraid I was not.
kblanken Posted November 24, 2012 Posted November 24, 2012 I remember that Cedar Point shared an image of a little girl costumed to WindSeeker for halloween last year, although she was older than one.
fanofFirehawk Posted November 24, 2012 Posted November 24, 2012 Now that I think about it I might not I have even 1.
kblanken Posted November 24, 2012 Posted November 24, 2012 Then you probably couldn't even stand up straight. It is good that you weren't costumed as Drop Zone.
fanofFirehawk Posted November 24, 2012 Posted November 24, 2012 I probably couldnt. Can I watch this on YouTube or some thing.
The_Beast_2000 Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 i doubt it will be demolished but i would love to see it moved. I where it currently is makes that area look to crowded. 1
Browntggrr Posted December 19, 2012 Posted December 19, 2012 Not that it means anything significant: KBF site reports WS is closed till Feb. 1st, 2013. http://www.knotts.com/rides/Thrill-Rides-1-5-12-42/WindSeeker
The Interpreter Posted December 19, 2012 Posted December 19, 2012 As it has listed other dates before, that date may or may not be just a placeholder.
Voicetek Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 i doubt it will be demolished but i would love to see it moved. I where it currently is makes that area look to crowded. You're right. It makes the area feel way too crowded and it seems so out of place just sitting there. There's so much happening right in the small space: The Vortex exit, the entrance and exit to the 3D Dinosaurs Alive show, and of course the entrance and exit to WindSeeker. I feel like it just gets too crazy there in that space. 1
jcgoble3 Posted December 23, 2012 Posted December 23, 2012 Removed post removed - problem solved. Thank you! Wait, what juicy bit of controversy did I miss this time?
The Interpreter Posted December 23, 2012 Posted December 23, 2012 You don't even want to know. Suffice it to say there are some sick puppies in this world.
jcgoble3 Posted December 23, 2012 Posted December 23, 2012 I saw you refer to non-existent offensive posts in another thread. I take it we got a troll while I was away yesterday, then? EDIT: I got an explanation from another user by PM. Move along, move along....
The Interpreter Posted December 23, 2012 Posted December 23, 2012 We knew it wasn't you. You didn't have to explain you were away! 1
stashua123 Posted December 23, 2012 Posted December 23, 2012 Trolls I've heard of em but only on YouTube.
Diamondback96 Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 I missed stuff? I guess that's what I get for not visiting this site daily. Although it might be a good thing (chances are I've seen worse posts though, it is the internet after all). When I rode WindSeeker, I thought it was a pretty fun ride, although I'm afraid to ride it again as I don't want to be stuck for hours. Hopefully they've taken this time to figure out a different system of lowering the gondola.
Hank Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 I noticed they are advertizing WindSeeker on the KI website.
GardenBabe Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 I hope it reopens this upcoming season, it looks sad without riders. I wonder when and where the WindSeeker reopening update will be announced first?
flightoffear1996 Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 I doubt they would have announcement for that
Diamondbacker Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 The February 1st deadline at Knotts is in two days...could we see theirs up and running on Friday? EDIT: Nevermind, their website shows no date for WindSeeker's re-opening. http://www.knotts.com/rides/Thrill-Rides-1-5-12-42/WindSeeker
smalls Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Kings Island didnt need another 300 foot structure. But since its way to late for me to whine about it, they mine as well talk with the architects and engineers and try to remodel the rides "insides"....simple enough so CP wont have to deal with a crappy ride and future possible lawsuits.
Captain Nemo Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Looks like the Feb 2nd opening of WindSeeker at Knotts may not happen, it has been taken off their website again with no mention of when it will reopen. Sigh, these things were the biggest waste of money. Judge me all you want, but I hope they are taken down. 1
HTCO Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 The WindSeekers were prototypes. And they built like 3 of them all at once... Please don't tell me I was the only one that saw this coming... 4
Captain Nemo Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 The WindSeekers were prototypes. And they built like 3 of them all at once... Please don't tell me I was the only one that saw this coming... Learn from your mistakes... The Bat, King Cobra, Son of Beast, Tomb Raider: The Ride, now WindSeeker. I will admit, the only WindSeeker I enjoyed was the Carowinds version. Even though it is exactly the same as the others, it fit very well inside the park and looked great against the park skyline. 1
Voicetek Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 If these were prototypes, it seems as if the manufacturers of these rides should be held somewhat responsible if they ever have to be demolished. Unless some type of agreement was signed by KI acknowledging that these were, in a sense, "test models" and could fail and be rendered useless at any time, I feel like KI should be entitled to some type of compensation. I know that's probably not how these things work, but still, I'd be pretty ticked if I invested that kind of money on a ride that was completely incapable of delivering any type of long term functionality.
Browntggrr Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 I don't believe KC deserves to be on that list. SoB may also be a stretch only because nobody can predict what the ride would have been like if enough money was spent on it from the beginning & if the construction issues did not arise. 1
westcoaster Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Think the manufacturer should replace all the WindSeekers. Sad this happened, but to me KI could have installed a tiques update, and flyers. Spread out the joy across the park. Time will tell if these towers sit and not operate!
