WindSeeker is in Testing Mode, Reopen??

Cedar Point's Windseeker has been put into Testing Mode for the past week, When I called to verify if WindSeeker will be operational on opening day. At this time Cedar Point will not confirm when and if WindSeeker will reopen.

Its been testing a lot longer than that.

John H. said at the winter tour that it would be ready by opening day. Kings Island's was open this weekend. I wouldn't expect any issues.

They are testing the rescue device right now:

Umm. Yeah. I'll just wait until you get it back up and running and sit here in my seat. KTHXBYE!

That's not the rescue rig, that's the maintenance bucket. The rescue rig arms go all the way out to the seats.

That does reach out to the seats. It only reaches one arm on each side of the ride at a time. Right now it's positioned to encompass the seats closest and furthest from the camera.
