Windseeker Testing

Windseeker is up, up, and away!!

YAY! I love when they build rides that I can't ride so the lines will be that much shorter for the coasters. lol Opened just in time for me to be there Sunday.

Wow those arms look so small and fragile way up there!!

I know what I am doing. I will be on the 5th ride of the public opening. We are next.

I've never been so happy to see a huge line.

I will be there Friday at 9:30am. I am wondering if the WINDSEEKER will be Open an Hr early for the P. Pass holders. I also will be HAPPY the Lines will be SHORT for many Coasters Like I read early YES!!!

Of course the day after I go it opens!!

Great ride, now I want to do it after dark.

How's it's capacity so far?

I'll tell you what! Windseeker sure looks good at night!! :)

Go Windseeker and go awesome kick ass lighting package! I wonder if they fixed the one seat that already had the burned out / disconnected light before they opened it?

lucky first riders. looks like they were bumping into each other.

Yes the lights were fixed, and at 64 riders every 3 min, it is a people mover.

The arms either need to be either dampened better (likely option) or the seats all need to be loaded. Second option may be hard come a few years down the line and the ride is not as popular as a newer ride in May.

Every 3 min? I thought the ride time itself was almost 3 min. What about load/unload time?

And I thought it was 50 people per ride!?

Thank you Djcarl for the uploaded video of Windseeker. That looks fun and I am anxious for my next trip to Cedar Point!

I didn't upload it. I'm just searching the most recent videos with Windseeker in the title and sharing them here.
your welcome though.

My wife was on the 5th ride. She said it was amazing. VERY smooth. She loved the view. The only thing she didn't like was that she felt like the seat in front of her was going to crush her legs. Her and her riding partner had to push it away with their hands!

LOL @ BumperSeeker video. Hopefully it will stay open for those of you going soon.

Can't wait to ride it tomorrow....does anyone know if they're making the "first rider" shirts for this ride, or are those only for the coasters? Either way, I hope it's one of the early-opened rides; I'm quite excited. I wonder what it'd be like seeing Windseeker with its lights at the top of its rotation while on Top Thrill Dragster. :)
