Windseeker construction cam up!

The WindSeeker cam on the Eiffel Tower is still up, it's just not on their website anymore. Who knows how long it will last.

From the look of the URLs, I would guess they moved the camera close to WindSeeker to the front gate.

Anyone see any movement on the KI windseeker? Just wondering if they've started actually testing yet.

Been watching all the cameras all day (was off), KI lifted the swings a little higher, and have been doing spin tests all day. However, have not seen it go up the tower or full cycle yet. Wish KBF and CW had cams to keep an eye on them.

I thought it looked like the carriage was up a bit, but i have been watching the time lapse closely and have yet to be able to determine that it has been spinning. The picture is just too dang small for my eyes to see that.


Looks like KI added 3rd cam to their web site... same shot as weather channel... crappy resolution but i assume its there for the fans to see the inaugural liftoff soon.

Looking at KI's webcam this morning...I would imagine that would be a fun time to ride these.

KI windseeker all lit up tonight , hoping for the lift off.

I love how Windseeker was just covered in fog earlier this morning. Now can you imagine riding Windseeker at the top looking down and seeing a big thick cloud of fog below you? That would be like looking down from an airplane window.

I had an experience like that on KI's Drop Zone a few years ago. It was very surreal getting to the top and seeing nothing but clouds below you and the upper half of the Eiffel Tower in front of you.

But, will the even run Windseker if the ride ops can't see everything throughout the cycle?

I'm sure you're right, Jason...but it would be quite a sight from up there. But unlike KI, CP would have much more sticking up through that fog.

We got seats going on! Still no sign of movement at KI, though.

^ That's a good sign. This means by next weekend, it will be almost ready. What I mean is if they finish the construction progress in time, the only delay would mean testing.
