Screamscape: (5/6/13) Windseeker is still closed at Knott’s Berry Farm this week… while the other Windseekers around the continent have opened up except for Cedar Point which is expected to open with the park’s season next weekend.
The delay at Knott’s is said to be in part because of state inspections and possibly a live rescue drill is expected to be required before Knott’s reopens the ride. In short, they’ve got to schedule all the players have to be in place at one time so Knott’s can show off the rescue platform in action which is taking longer than expected. So why is this taking so long? Mostly because Knott’s has bigger fish to fry right now. The majority of the park staff required to get Windseeker checked off has their hands full finishing up the Log Ride refurbishment as well as opening up the park’s three new 2013 rides. Once these issues are taken care of, then they’ll focus some attention back on Windseeker.
