KI Windseeker Delayed... same goes for CP?

http://www.wlwt.com/entertainment/27706504/detail.html

I have a feeling CP's won't be ready either... Looking at the construction, it seems they still have a little bit of a ways to go. Hope I'm wrong though...

I think it's way too early to make that call. Crappy weather has been had by all, yes, but CP is already ahead of the pace that KI was. There is just over 2 weeks to go for CP...KI has less than 48 hours, and the call was just made.

Relax! :) Good weather is on its way.

Not even a full week ago, Kings Island started to assemble the seats on their Windseeker. Cedar Point already has their frame built and ready for the seat installations. To tell the truth, I think Cedar Point still has enough time! But I'm sure there are other processes to go through to have it open on time too

I feel as though we're still ok, especially seeing the pace the Adena crew had been at recently. All we have left, as far as ride components go, is the lights, the arms, and the seats, all which take a relatively short amount of time.

As long as all of the ride components are done by May 7 (1 week before opening), they'll have enough time to test and train, albeit a short amount of time.

I wonder if CP is getting advice from KI and or Wonderland about any "quicker" or "easier" means of constructing certain parts of the ride. I mean, Monty IS head of Maintenance and Construction for the entire chain and headquarters IS at CP so that would make sense to me where he could be conversing with Mr.Dangler and the other VPs of Maintenance and Construction about the same ride being built at the other parks.

A community effort building for a common goal if you will. :)

That being said, I'm on the "We still have time" side of the fence looking at the "ladder of doubt" that would put me ON the fence.

If gondolas aren't on & light tested by the end of next week, I'll loose any hope

I'm thinking we'll be at the same point that KI is at now come the week leading into opening weekend.......IF the weather holds up.

I'm thinking the weather can only get better just because we are heading into the month of May. Typically once May comes around, so does the warm weather. Let's just continue to hope and pray that nice weather comes on opening day!

I think prayer is definitely the way to go.

I doubt god would have control of the weather considering all that's happened already. ;)

After the Shoot the Rapids embarrassment in 2010, I highly doubt that Windseeker will face any delays.

Now Shoot the Rapids? Wouldn't be surprised if that's delayed in 2011... ;)

I just hope Windseeker not opening at KI this weekend means they open up Diamondback in its place for ERT. :)

Windseeker not being open for Opening Day will bum out a lot of the guests that didn't get the memo. I was going to try and ride it before Cedar Point's but that isn't the case anymore. It keeps the anticipation high though!

This is a big bummer, as we are going on opening day. Oh well, life goes on.

Cedarfair has not had very good luck as of late, getting new rides open on time.

Well, off seasons are shorter than they were 10 years ago. And every year it seems people are tighter with their budgets. That makes for a situation where small hiccups make big problems. Someone call Al Gore and tell him to bring some of that global warming to Ohio. ;)

According to the Toledo blade, Windseeker at CP could be delayed too.

Key word there "could".

Key word there "Toledo Blade".

If Cedar Point can't get Windseeker opened on time, someone needs to get fired. Every new ride Cedar Point puts in is not open on time. Not a good trend. If i was in charge of Cedar Point or Cedar Fair as a whole company, a ride not opening on time would not be happening on my watch without someone paying the price for it. Sure a ride can have unseen problems that cause it to be delayed but ride after ride is unacceptable. I really hope Windseeker is open on time after the embarresment that was Shoot the Rapids.

Surely you cant be serious?
