Windseekers To be Demolished?

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.

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.

Then you probably couldn't even stand up straight. It is good that you weren't costumed as Drop Zone.

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.

Any news on WindSeeker yet?

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.

Wait, what juicy bit of controversy did I miss this time? :P

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....

Trolls I've heard of em but only on YouTube.

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.

I noticed they are advertizing WindSeeker on the KI website.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
